I hope this Shabbat prep brings some comfort and light into your day. Although it’s strange producing this content when things feel so differently, all of your messages to continue really encouraged me. May there be peace in Israel and throughout the world.

1/2 cup of powdered sugar

Sonya, thank you so much for your video. The enemy wants us to fold up and die - this is a visual reminder of the strength of Shabbat and the beauty of Jewish people! We will appreciate every moment of life, and pray for courage and safety for the IDF, hostages and all Israelis. Am Yisroel Chai! May G-d protect the righteous.

'The Lord is my light and my salvation: whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life..." Psalm 27:1 Praying for His peace, comfort and strength for you and Israel.

[boething]

I am keeping you and all Jewish people in prayer. As a Christian, my religion has its foundation and roots in Judaism, and I love learning more about it. When I taught fifth grade, I always did a unit on the Holocaust, and the kids were always very interested in learning more. You are a bright light in this world, and I love your videos. Keep staying positive and bright.

Dear Sonya, in the darkness we share light. I came to your channel toward the end of my conversion process years ago and you have been a joyous corner of my Judaism since the beginning, even before my beit din, as we make Shabbat together each week. I am in a different country on a different coast—but you, Shai and your family always have a friend in Vancouver. Keep your light. Am Yisrael Chai. 🇮🇱

It is Sunday here so Shavua Tov, dear Sonya, to you and your lovely family. Your videos are wonderful and I look forward to each one. The last two weeks have been horrible with evil rearing its ugly head. I weep and pray for Israel and all of our Jewish people. My mother, may her memory be for a blessing, was born in Jerusalem. My family and I, we stand with Israel. Am Yisroel Chai!✡

Sonya, your channel is a blessing. I traveled, with my church, to Isreal when I was 15 years old in the early 80's. It changed me forever. I'm a Christian and the Jews mean everything to me. You and yours sharing your beautiful traditions is an education for us all and we love it....keep sharing please. I stand with Isreal and pray for the IDF❤
