Barukh ata Ado-nai El-oheinu, Melekh ha'olam, asher kid'shanu b'mitzvotav v'tzivanu l'hadlik ner shel Shabbat

Blessed are You, LORD our God, King of the universe, Who has sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us to light the Shabbat candle.

Which surprised you the most? Let me know in the comments below.

Although everything that I am saying today may seem restrictive, Orthodox Jewish families, and others who celebrate Shabbat, count down the days of the week to welcome and celebrate this holy day. It’s a time where families come together and the noise of the world quiets for 25 hours. It’s a time spent building relationships and strengthening bonds where God is at the forefront.

I have recently filmed a video sharing a sneak peek into what Shabbat is really like in our family. I take you from the moment I light my candles until Shabbat is over. You can watch the full video here:

Your husband is a big help. He is such a good example for the children.

[ErynM]

As someone that is not Jewish, I found this very informative. Thank you to you and your husband for sharing this with us! May your family be richly blessed!

[samanthaguttman]

I am Jewish but not religious. When my parents were alive, we did celebrate rosh Hashanah Yom Kippur, Passover, and Hanukkah I still do as a single mom but not as much as I should. I love watching you and your family prepare for the holidays and Shabbat. There’s a lot that I do know, but there was a lot that I did not know so Thank you Sonya so much for your videos. I look forward to them. Gd bless you and your family.

[elianah]

I love that your husband sets an example by assisting in the kitchen and with the candles. What a beautiful way to honor God and family. 🙏🏼

[alaskagal]

Sonja, as with the other non-Jewish posters here, I must give you props for sharing such intimate moments with us, the unknown folk, of your family, your household, your marriage, your faith, and your culture.

You, and yours are truly inspirational and educational.

Thank you for always including links in your description. I’ve learned a lot today about the “why” behind the “how” you keep the sabbath holy.

Of note: the not tearing toilet paper was the most surprising to me, but after following links and doing my own research, I actually got it.

Great video & love your channel. While I'm not Jewish I watch all your content to give me ideas for Sabbath as a Seventh Day Adventist. I agree it is hard for most people to understand the concepts of rest, not working or using forms energy or how we eat...most see it as restrictive. I've been celebrating Sabbath since birth so at 44 y/o this is all I know🥰 Rarely make comments but wanted to let you know the diverse group of subscribers you have. Hugs & blessings from Chicagoland!!!

[karlaodhiambo]

I am a Christian, and I believe, according to scripture, that the Sabbath Day is a REST unto the LORD and that it is a universal principle for all people!
As a result, I would love to be more devout in keeping it, even though unfortunately, it is not taught in our church!
But for me, I have often denoted Sundays as a DAY of REST unto the LORD, when I am not working

[ellabarnes]

Thank you Sonya for giving me an insight into these prohibitions. It is not difficult to understand why Shabbat is so important, whilst I am non-religious I can almost envy the peace and togetherness you create weekly by observing so strictly the guidelines of your faith. I shall work my way through your videos as they are really interesting. I wish you and yours a tranquil Shabbat.

[manila]

Im a Muslim girl i love to learn about Judaism ❤ thanks a lot for explaining Shabath to us.

[stephaniebell]

As a convert, I love watching how calm and practiced you are in preparing for what I consider as the best holiday.

[histamiiini]

I am a practicing Christian and these videos of Jewish celebrations (especially Shabbath) makes me think I should really try to start keeping Shabbath with my family. Many Christians have forgotten the value of Shabbath or never really understood it. Also other celebrations seem wonderful.

[esthermorgernstern]

Shabbat Shalom, Sonya. I just found your channel. My mother passed away the last week. She was my only family. Unfortunately I'm not blessed with children. Now when I found your channel I feel comforted. Your family is beautiful and it reminds me all those times with my family when I still lived with them. I'm originally from Prague. Many blessings to you and your family.

[carolphillips]

Thank so much I keep Shabbat also as a Messianic believer. It is great to know how the restrictions came into place. The peace and joy of Shabbat is truly wonderful a gift only Hashem could give us. Shalom

[fomcgirl]

The Sabbath is such a blessing! As a Seventh-day Adventist I also treasure the sacred time between Friday night sundown and Saturday sundown. It's fascinating to learn about your preparation. Prayers to you and your family. 🙏🏼

[barbaraketchum]

I love how your family works together to prepare for shabbat 🥰 your videos have definitely helped to inspire me to set aside time to shut off all the work and have an intentional time of peace!

[lifesajourney]

Shabbat must be an amazing day. A span of time set a side where you are able to shut out all of the worldly distractions and just focus on G-d, praying & your family. Imo...everyone who believes in G-d should honor Shabbot. Thank you for sharing. ❤🙏

[jazzyjune]

I have said it many times in my comments on your videos but I have to say it with hige emphasis, YOU as the woman of the house are AMAZING in all that you do! Some of what you do reminds me of how Sundays were when I was growing up. All stores closed on Sunday so of you didn't have it Saturday by 5 or 6, you were without it til Monday! All families back in my day (mid to late 50s and into the early 60s) would have all house work done in and out the house because Sunday was a day of rest! My mom had all the shopping done, and a slow roast or stew was in a low oven early sides were generally cooked with the roast or the night before! No tv for most of the day! Just the radio tuned into a sermon, The Lutheran Hour and then soft music of the day. It was church, then come home and my mom and all was heated for family that came over. Good china, cut crystal and the special silverware came out! There was no going out to play with friends on Sunday!!
It was definitely a more peaceful way to end the weekend and start the work/school week and it sad how far we have strayed from it. Your home and traditions are lovely and I so enjoy watching it and learning!

[kcloufarm]

I understand what you mean about the feeling of peace that envelops you after lighting the Shabbat candles, it is truly calming. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful video

[אביגילסאסאנפר]

You are simply amazing!
As an Orthodox Jew from Bnei Brak-Israel, it was very moving for me to see how you explain in a beautiful and special way what Shabbat is.
It is exciting to see through your videos that even on the other side of the world, Jews maintain a life of tradition and holiness.
Thanks!
