Hope you are all having a fantastic week!!!

@mastljn Год назад

You are not even allowed to sip water on Yom Kippur? From what you have said before, a person could drink water if there is a medical reason, being very young, or old?

@jaroffireflies Год назад

@@mastljn if you have a medical necessity that is different. Life always comes first and no one’s health would be put in jeopardy for the fast.

@jaroffireflies Год назад

Oh and children don’t fast. Only after the age of bar or bat mitzvah (12 or 13) does one start fasting.

@lisastess3447 Год назад

I am having a fantastic week and hope you and your family are too!! A few days ago I had my yearly mammogram and when I saw my primary doctor yesterday, he told me that there was no cancer! That was the best news to hear, because last year they saw something in my right breast and had to get that side done over again. Thank goodness it was only dense breast tissue. I love your purple scarf and it looks beautiful on you. Purple is my favorite color and it the same color as my birthstone. I love celebrating the High Holy Days and they can get overwhelming, but it is worth it. Shana Tova and all my love to you and your family! 💜💜💜💜

Thanks for sharing, Chana! This is so fascinating. I have heard of the high holidays vaguely before but it was neat to learn more about them. I have Jewish family members, so I appreciate learning more about this beautiful ancient faith. I am so fascinated by Judaism. Also, I just love your videos as well! :)

@jaroffireflies Год назад

So happy you enjoyed! I appreciate your kind words :)

@marciaboucher8346 Год назад

I also cry on Yom Kipper. As the ark closes at the end of Neelah, its almost like being severed from the presence of Hashem. You can feel his spirit around the shul as the day progresses. I feel this day recharges me, we are so close to our father on this day. These days, The Season of Awe is my favorite holiday season.

@roseyc.5846 Год назад

Good morning, Chana: I grew up not knowing anything, really, about the high holidays (or Judaism) until I entered high school. It was then that, through other students I met, that I felt a strong connection to Judaism. Your high holidays are so beautiful and reverent, especially Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Pesach. I'm going back to watch the other videos. I absolutely love the education, as I may know a bit more than the average non-Jewish person, but, I'm always eager to keep on learning. TFS! Shabbat Shalom, and, many blessings to you and your family. Rosemarie 💖 🙏🏻 ✡️

@johannaweissensteiner1536 Год назад

Great video! I have a question about shabbat. Is it in every country always according to the local position or do some countries have something different? For example the very north of Norway (where the sun doesnt rise at all for some months and then for some other months it doesnt set at all)

@jaroffireflies Год назад

The times for Shabbat vary depending on location since it has to do with the sun :)

@TheZyarok Год назад

There are some fascinating discussions online about these issues. (For example, when the sun doesn't set, some bring shabbat in at the same time as Jerusalem. When it does set, but very late, they usher in shabbat early.)
