Shabbat is a very in-depth subject, so for further reading feel free to check out the links below. :)

I’ve watched many Shabbat preps, but this is by far the most instructive with explanations as to why.

As I have been religious all my life, this video is so interesting and easy to follow

Your videos are just so fascinating and informative to us non-Jews who are barely acquainted with Judaism.

You put on a serious CLINIC! Thank you so much. The timers. I’m in the process of conversion now. I would have never thought of a timer. Proof of how Green I am.

When I attended shul I remember the kiddish. I commend you for your strictness in being as observant as you are. I observe the Sabbath but, I do it in a manner that is not as strict. Baruch HaShem!

I love your clear and simple ideas, and also the subtle differences between Sephardi and Ashkenazi practice.

One thing that helps me a lot is to have two Shabbat menus that I rotate. You can always do more or get creative when you have extra energy, but having something quick and easy to fall back on helps so much! It also keeps the shopping list easy so you don't forget key items. It sounds boring to only have two menus, but if they're favorite foods, eating them twice a month is not too much. I also have favorite menus for holidays, and discovered that my kids actually like it that way, and enjoy looking forward to those "traditional" foods.

Thanks for your precise & well explained Shabbat meal making, especially Challah making

[oliviarose]

Thank you so much for your vlog! Your video has been the most informative of all the Jewish Shabbat preps I've seen, only because you don't just cook, you've explained what Shabbat is, the meaning and the process. Continue in your efforts with this vlog! Blessings!

One gentle reminder about handling wine in mixed company is to be discreet about it. You certainly don't want to offend or embarrass your non-Jewish (or non-Shomer-Shabbat) guests. If you find someone made a mistake, just quietly remove the wine from the table and replace with mevushal wine (or kosher grape juice) without making a fuss.
"He who shames his friend in public has no share in the world to come." [Rabbeinu Yonah, Shaarei Teshuva (Shaar 3: 141)]

Very nice video. We use kosher grape juice, it works just as well.
2 loaves on the table, save one and use for next meal. I love water challah the best 😊
