❤️WHAT IS SHABBAT:❤️

💡HOW TO PREPARE FOR SHABBAT on Friday before and after work 💡

🐟KOSHER MEAL PREP FOR THE WEEK 5 full meals! 🐟

🐔 WHAT I PREPARE FOR SHABBAT **FULL MEALS *** and CLEAN WITH ME! 🐔

Which mean ma that

[katemolly]

Totally surprised by the FAKE Kosher signs. That’s a jerk move by companies (trying to find the nicest way to put that!!) 🤯🤬

[cseamen]

As a non-Jew I had only a surface understanding of what being kosher entailed. I was surprised to learn of the pork gelatin, but was shocked to learn that anyone would put a kosher symbol on pork products. What. Sleazeball thing to do!

[arianagonza]

I worked at a canning facility and the cleaning of lines and preparation of kosher items is extremely serious. We loved having a Rabbi in the plant and learning from him. Thank you Sarah. This video made me recall some things I had not remembered in a while

[Daphattack]

I am catholic so of course know little about Kosher (and Halal) so thank you for this. Although I do not keep any dietary restrictions I am LIVID that some companies would stoop so low as to fake the signs to dupe people into buying their products. A disgusting and greedy move.

[suzannelucero]

I was surprised that even frozen vegetables need to be certified kosher. And here I thought a whole food plant based diet would be considered kosher because it doesn't include meat (no animal products at all), dairy, or eggs. I always learn something new from you in your videos. Thanks. 😊

[sms-balto]

I love to learn! I am Christian, Sarah, but I tend to buy Kosher as I trust its purity. My Grandfather, raised on a farm, taught me that meat should always be Kosher. I have always enjoyed Hebrew National's commercial "We answer to a higher law!" As a history teacher who has taught about the meat industry in the early 20th century, I wouldn't be caught eating hot dogs that weren't Kosher. Thank you, Sarah for "frum it up". G-d bless you.

[kathleenklein]

Loved this! I learned a lot. As a Reform Jew, I eat "Kosher Style" and I also eat mostly vegetarian with the exception of very occasional fish. I wasn't surprised by the gelatin situation. I was surprised that my non-dairy creamer would be considered dairy. I was also surprised by counterfeit kosher symbols. That is just crazy, people will do anything to make a profit.

[maureendonlevy]

I love to learn! This Catholic was offended that someone would slap a kosher label on a ham or pork product! What audacity!
Thanks again for teaching me more about your faith. I have started to to clean and prep food as soon as I bring produce home. As a result, I am losing less fresh food. Thanks for the tips!

[vickiephelps]

Thanks for the great video, Sara! I am atheist but I intentionally buy a lot of kosher products because they tend to contain far fewer ingredients and the ingredients being used are cleaner and safer.
The idea that a company is using fake kosher marks is horrible. If I notice that in a future shopping trip, I will be going all "Karen" with the store manager and will do my best to get that product discontinued!

[sniderpartyof]

As a non Jewish person and a parent I love videos like yours! They help me teach my children a little about differences in the way people live and express their faith. So from the bottom of my heart thank you!!!

[traceyrossmann]

To lable anything with pork in it as kosher is truly shameful, as it preys on ignorance of that one specific law of kosher food. It's also kind of funny as most people who are not Jewish or Muslim know this is a strict taboo for both groups.

[TheLadyWeaver]

Not Jewish or Kosher, and it all seems really complicated at first, but when my daughter was small and my husband was healing from some health issues, we had a list of things we avoided - soy, artificial dyes, refined sugar, corn syrup, added weird meat products (carageean yay!), local/grassfed and more - and it became a habit to read sources/labels/etc, you get into a routine pretty quickly and it becomes double checking to make sure products/companies haven't changed.

The biggest issues was the meat, because we only ate local beef that hadn't been on a feed lot and local chicken that had been raised on an actual farm. I really hope to go back to shopping this way soon, but inflation is kicking our bums.

(Pork in candy is just gross, lol)

[pamconley]

I love to learn! As a 70 year old Christian Grandma, I love your videos, so calming.

[meghanmorningstar]

I did not know that gelatin was an animal product and can come from pork! One of my best friends is Jewish and I am going to pass that information on to her ❤ thank you for sharing your knowledge and for always being so kind and keeping your viewers in your prayers

[lindamoulton]

I let out the world's most audible "OH NO" as soon as you showed the ham products with the Kosher stamp. I always love seeing these types of videos, you explain everything in so much depth and in such a pleasant and delightful way! Always look forward to learning something with each one! :)

[mkabs]

Wow as a Jewish person in NY I was unaware of all the counterfeit kosher symbols. Also the was you say reputable made me giggle

[libbyjones]

Sara Malka We hope you and your family and loved ones are safe with all the fires. My sister and I have found a few scrub daddy's for you in blue and in orange we don't get red at all where we live not even on the official website so orange and some in green too. We are sending them off to your PO box from the description box. Thank you for all you do to bring joy to us ❤️.

[bwreed]

“I LOVE TO LEARN” Thank you for being a great teacher!

[shawndavis]

I am shocked that there are companies faking Kosher symbols, especially on pork products. I am a Christian and I know that eating pork is against Jewish food laws.
Have a blessed week and restful Shabbat.

[debstanyer]

I love to learn. I have just begun my Orthodox conversion process and today feeling very alone and hoping I am pleasing HaShem in what Im BIG bus pulled out in front of me and it had written on the whole side in huge YOU ARE LOVED. So I came home but still feeling a little flat and decided I would like to relax and listen to one of your videos as you have the most relaxing tone that destressing.... thankyou for the words at the end... YOU ARE LOVED...I really needed that today.
