I love to connect with you.
I love to connect with you ❤
I miss going to shul 😟
C I love to connect with you!
Goodness! It looks amazing. Watching in the UK.❤
I myself am not Jewish, but your videos are so peaceful and the synagogue is extremely beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
thank you so so much for being here!
@@frumitupwhere is your accent from? I’m guessing French?
And I stayed to the end.
Do you know the Talmud preaches pedophilia and ethnic genocide and calls non jews cattle/slave/beast? rabbis openly claim there is no purpose of the goy other than serving the jew. ( you are programed to be offended by these statements but its 100% truth.)
So stunning, peaceful & inspiring.. from your Christian friend
I live about 20 minutes from where the Tree of Life Synagogue in PA was the target of a horrible mass shooting. Thankfully, he was found guilty and is awaiting his sentence. How anyone could inflict such violence on a beautiful religion and its people is beyond me. I have prayed and will continue to pray for the victim's families. I have an even greater respect for the Jewish religion from watching your videos. I have learned so much.
thank you Stacy :)
My ❤ goes out to you and your community.
@@lissyperez4299 Thank you!
😢😢😢
Dear Sarah Malka! My favorite element is you telling me everytime that "You are enough just the way you are!" It means so much to me!! Thank you!!
You are enough sweet Michal🥰🥰🥰
One thing that continues to warm my heart is that many things within the Jewish faith seem to be done with such purpose. Everything has a reason, and a history. For a religion that has faced such continual hardship throughout history, it makes me so happy to learn about the importance of all of your rituals and holidays, and that items related to your faith such as the mezuzah, the Torah covers, and even Shabbat table settings are so special and ornate. It shows me, as an outsider, the love that goes in to your faith and the care you take in practicing it. I love witnessing others who are so dedicated to their faith.
I found this out when i started my first job at 21. My co worker wasn’t Jewish and he told me he loved the Jewish religion because everything was done with purpose and meaning behind it. Also i don’t understand why people have hatred against Jewish people. I can’t even count how many times during Shabbat services we pray for peace for everyone.
@@ilenet9911 I love that! I am not religious, but i have the utmost respect for people who practice their own religions. If someone takes comfort in their faith and having something to guide them, and they are lead to do good things and be good people, then that is what counts!
@katelynatkinsos3336 thank you so much for your kind words ❤️❤️❤️
So true @ilenet911
I'm Christian and have been struggling with prayer and faith, so your videos have been so helpful for me to grow closer to God through these traditions. Also you have one of the best voices for voice-over on youtube! ❤
My family had a problem with a Christian church that closed it's doors to us in our hour of need, the local synagogue opened up their doors and their hearts to us...
@@jacquelynannehowardAngels often arrive from the most unexpected directions. I've experienced similar challenges. Focus on G-d and often help will find it's way to you. Ask and you may bless someone who is delighted to help.
I remember as a child our school arranged a visit to a synagogue. It was fascinating. I still remember the kosher kitchen with the separate areas for fish and meat. As an adult, I now appreciate the synagogue for allowing us inside and giving us a tour.
We did the same, I went to a Catholic school.
That's awesome!!! I was never allowed an opportunity like that...wish I had❤
The separation of food is dairy (milk) and meat.
I love to connect with you!
Even though it was over twenty years ago, I still remember attending my friend's bar mitzvah in a beautiful synagogue. I was one of the handful of Gentile friends invited and will always be grateful to the adults who gently guided us through the process.
I have been in many, many churches since, but even the grandest cathedral can't compete with the warmth of that synagogue.
As a traditional Catholic, I see the links between the worship and worship space and the set up of our sanctuaries! It makes my participation at our Liturgy so much clearer thank you Sister Sarah for sharing this beautiful video with us! Of course as St. Paul points out, you are the First Born in the Faith and gave us our Shape! Shalom!
I was going to say the same thing. All of your videos are beautiful and such a pleasure to watch. Thank you so much! Many blessings upon you and your family!
I loved the holy and reverent place where the scrolls were housed. The containers were beyond beautiful. The prayers contained in them must obviously come from God. Amen.
@@cynthialagraff4144 Dear Cynthia, thank you for your comment. This will help explain. 💖
What Are the Five Books of Moses?
Often referred to as Torah, especially when in scroll format, the Five Books of Moses are the foundation of Judaism. Until this very day, the text-which is written in Hebrew-has been carefully preserved by the Jewish people. It is also known as Chumash and Pentateuch (related to the respective Hebrew and Greek words for “five”).
As their name indicates, the Books were written by Moses, as dictated by G‑d Himself. Jewish people see every letter and every nuance as a sacred communication from G‑d, rife with significance and meaning. They contain 613 mitzvahs, Divine commandments that shape the life of Jewish people everywhere.
The Five Books:
Bereishit (Genesis): The creation of the world and the early history of the Jewish nation, including the stories of Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham and Sarah, and Joseph.
Shemot (Exodus): The slavery in Egypt, the Exodus, the Giving of the Torah, and the building of the Tabernacle.
Vayikra (Leviticus): Deals with the Temple sacrifices, kosher, and other aspects of Jewish ritual life.
Bamidbar (Numbers): Many events that happened to the Israelites on their way to the promised land, including G‑d counting the people, the Spies debacle, the Korach uprising.
Devarim (Deuteronomy): Nearing the end of his 40 years of leadership, Moses speaks to the people, preparing them for life in the Promised Land.

I'm Catholic too, I'm wondering something, are the names written in the sitting areas in the synagogue?
@@Markosslll Yes.
Sara, thank you for your outstanding, continuous efforts to share your life with us! I learn so much in each and every one of your videos, all presented with care AND charm. Many days have passed in my life where your kind closing words were a much-appreciated boon. I love to connect with you! Thank you again ❤
Thank you for your kind words! I'm so glad that you've been able to connect with my videos and learn something new.
Yes! I rewatch your videos when I feel down to feel comforted 🩵🤍🩵 I also enjoy learning about the world's religions.
Thank you Sara for opening to us places that we maybe wouldn't ever have a chance to enter, the idea of connecting to new cultures and religions is such a beautiful exposure even more it being brought to us by you and your simplicity. it really means a lot 🥰 may god be on your side today too.
i could not agree with you more: the more we open our doors and bring our reality to life and not let social media peddle misinformation: the more we will be able to connect and better understand each other!
I cannot agree more
@@itsytyt5192s my English clear enough. Respect kindness, cohesiveness the hope for a peaceful world is the only way forward Shalom
Your English is fabulous. I can only speak my native language. I am so impressed by those of you who are bilingual and kindly speak and write in English for people like me. Shalom
@@michelleshephard9690 thank you so much Michelle ❤️❤️❤️
Sarah, I know you cannot always be joyful and content, but you cultivate that in your voice, your mannerisms ... bless you for being such a wonderful example to all of us! Thank you for showing us your place of worship! I love to connect with you, dear Sarah!
Thank you so much!
I lived in the Jewish orthodox neighbourhood of the High Rabbi of South Africa. My next door neighbour invited me to temple. It was a wonderful experience.
i tis so nice to hear!
Such a beautiful holy place. I am Hindu and appreciate all the way’s children of God worship him❤
Love the tree of life, not only it is beautiful, this is also a powerful reminder everyone is a part of a community, a part of something bigger than just an individual. Brilliant.
so well said Cherry :)
I loved connecting with you! Years ago I worked for a dentist who was Jewish, as I had never known anyone Jewish before I bought some books and did some reading. One day I had the courage to ask him if I could ask him a couple of questions as some of the books had different views. He was surprised but willing to answer my questions. It came down to orthodox versus newer reformed. When they had a baby naming for their daughter they invited me to attend as they thought that I would basic understanding and would be respectful. I thoroughly enjoyed it and was honoured to be their. Now I know more about a more orthodox version. Thank you!
I am a Muslim woman and know very little about Judaism. Really liked watching this video. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for being here it means the world to me ❤️❤️❤️
I grew up Catholic and I remember going into the church to light candles for those who have passed. It's so interesting to see something similar! I find your channel fascinating. You are such a beautiful person inside and out
I am not Jewish but I have such love and respect for your faith and people!
I am struck with a sense of awe and wonder about how the Torah scrolls are decorated so beautifully. The word of the Almighty adorned with such honor and splendor. I love it!
I'm not Jewish but I love learning orthodox Jewish life
This is a very beautiful walk through of your synagogue. I am a Christian, and I especially wanted to see a Sephardic synagogue, so this was very helpful so I could see a different Jewish tradition than I have seen before. I enjoyed the beauty and symbolism, as well as hearing some of the customs by which you worship and interact. May God bless you.
Your voice has such a beautiful, lyrical cadence; it’s always a joy to listen to you! Thank you for all the comfort you bring to us through these videos ❤
Thank you so much!
1000000%
I'm a Christian who was educated on Judaïsm during school and even did a project on one of the holidays. I went to a synagogue with my class during primary school and was amazed as a child. This video brought back those memories and I'm after 18 years still amazed. Sadly the synagogue in my hometown closed down after WWII, but it's a museum and monument to remember the people who were once part of the community.
Thank you so much for this presentation. My very dearest friend who passed several years ago was Sephardic. I always drove her to Friday night services at the local reform synagogue. There were no other synagogues here then. She told many wonderful stories about growing up Sephardic and when I watch your presentations I am flooded with memories of her and feel like she is with me.
Dear Dr Malka, this video was a breathtaking & marvellous insight into this place of worship. I am woefully uninformed about Judaism, so your kind warm guided tour of an Orthodox Synagogue is so helpful & informative! From the Tree Of Life display of inscriptions to the seating, you explained significance of these personalised aspects well.
As a book lover, my favourite bits were you explaining the books supplied to worshippers and their purposes (I loved the wee pictures on spines to indicate when to be used), but most especially the stunning scripture scrolls! If appropriate, please convey thanks to all involved for the intimate film views of not just of the incredible skilled handwritten scrolls and their remarkable containers (which I understand are utmost sacred), but also seeing the honourable position in which they are housed in your house of worship!
And attention to detail by architects and builders, that the steps on upper balcony were somewhat shallower.
I think I’ll watch this again.
My first video of yours (which got me to subscribe recently) was your tour of a kosher shop, which again was an delightful education.
Oh and as final comment, I did love the digital clock showing all the information about times and dates in different formats - what a clever and practical piece of technology!
And your signing off in narrating this CZcams was so full genuine warmth and spiritual connection, I was personally moved.
Many thanks
Your thoughtful and so well written comment made me cry of 🥹joy.
Thank you for your kindness and support: it means so much to me
Stay safe and blessed my friend ❤️
I love that Tree Of Life. Very nice idea!❤Also the Rememberance Board and remembering loved ones during a wedding.
Thank you! 😊 i love the tree of life too!
I really love the tree of life in your synagogue. It is beautiful and deeply symbolic. And those Torah scrolls are stunning, just incredible!
So nice of you
As a Jewish person, I think every tradition and ritual brings light to this world. Jews are here despite all attempts otherwise, there is something beautiful and radical in even the smallest tradition. Once again, thank you for letting us see your slice of life, and for keeping these ancient rituals alive.
I am not Jewish, but I want to be, Everything in your synagogue is Beautiful specially the Torah writings just priceless.
Thank you for Representing Peaceful Jewish Community
With pleasure !
Such a beautiful holy place. Thank you for sharing it with us. And thank the beautiful man who did the filming of the holy books for us. They were so beautiful. Thank for sharing this with us.
Love your videos Sara! I am a Christian, but love the Jewish faith and learning more about it. I find it so peaceful and comforting. Thankyou for sharing x
I'm not Jewish, but attended a Lutheran church as a child and have been inside both Catholic and Greek Orthodox churches. All three of those Christian denominations had the eternal flame in the back of the sanctuary as well. It's so interesting to see things I'm familiar with in another religion's traditions. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful traditions with me!
I love to connect with you! One thing that surprised me was the light that is lit in the synagogue to honor God. We Catholics have a light that's always lit to honor the blessed sacrament in the tabernacle. It's wonderful how we're all alike in that way. Love to you and your family.
I love to connect with you! Thank you for taking us around to show us everything in the Synagogue! You have so graciously taken us through your own kitchen, shown us how women's hair is done, even shopping at the grocery store! Although not Jewish, I've longed for a life like this; rich in tradition and beauty. It is with a grateful heart that I say thank you for including me and all of us in your life and videos!
Awww 🥰 thank YOU fo being here ❤️❤️
Hello from Petach Tikva, Israel. I always enjoy your videos and learn something new. My husband is Mizrachi which isn't the tradition that I grew up with so the differences in customs is always interesting. I wish that I knew all the melodies to the various prayers in a Sepharidic synagogue because I don't and it keeps me from feeling as at home as I wish that I did. Also, the way of receiving an aliyah to the Torah was a big surprise to me. Another surprise for me here in Israel is the custom that the women have of throwing down candies for a special simcha like a bar mitzvah, for example. Anyway, I just wanted to say "shalom" so you are always sure that you are appreciated for all the work that you do in making these videos.
Even though I am Catholic the synogogue has many elements that are familiar to me such as the lamp signifying God's presence and the protected area where the Word of God is kept. I am so thankful there is much we have in common! Blessings, Angela
@frum it up Since I began watching your videos I have learned so much. But the 2 pieces of knowledge that have resonated with me the most are 1) that family life is a reflection of your Love for God and 2) that the women of your community are very supportive of each other. Such a Blessing!
wooow: excellent 2 cornerstones in our faith! you have a keen mind Bellelada :)
@@frumitup thank you for the compliment1
Thank you for posting this. I had been praying for you to post exactly this. I am Catholic, but I feel so connected to my Jewish brothers and sisters, and the way they worship. I cannot explain it. It just is.
i am so happy you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much , the synagogue looks so beautiful, love your videos
Thank you for sharing Jewish Synagogue.. respect from a Indian muslim.🙏🙏
This is so beautiful! I love seeing your synagogue. I need your prayers. I was driving down the road the other day. Of course, it was raining. I hydroplaned, hit another car, and hit the guardrail twice I think. Anyway, I have a broken femur on my right leg. I have a brace on it. So pray for quick and complete healing. It’s going to be a long road, but God is with me.
Dear Wendy, I am so sorry this happened to you and we will pray a Refuah Sheleimah for you our sweet sister! May you know and sense that G-d is by your side every step of the way and bringing you to a full and complete recovery! 💝
אֲדֹנָי יִשְׁלַח יִשְׁלַח לָהֶם רְפוּאָה שְׁלֵמָה
רְפוּאַת הַנֶּפֶשׁ וּרְפוּאַת הַגּוּף
וְנֹאמַר אַמֵּן
Adonay yishlakh, yishlakh la'hem refuah sheleimah
Refuat ha'nefesh urefu'at ha'guf
venomar Amen
G-d send, send to them complete healing
Healing of the soul and healing of the body
And we say: Amen
I'm Catholic and attend the oldest Catholic church in our city. I believe it's beautiful but the Synagogue that you showed us is beyond any Holy place I've ever seen. My feeling in exploring this place is you can feel the presence of God in this place. Even if I don't understand Yiddish I can sense the same loving God in both your Synagogue and my church. Thank you so much for sharing this. The beauty was surprising to me.🕊️
Hebrew is spoken in the Synagogue, not Yiddish.🙂
@@gdr9213 and Yiddish is an Eastern European set of dialects. Yiddish from Poland is different than Yiddish in Romania or Germany. Sephardic Jews speak Ladino, a mixture of Hebrew and Spanish or Portuguese. Most Jews will speak the language of their local country. The writing seen in the synagogue is Hebrew (or English or French because they are in Montreal).
Definitely loved connecting with you Sarah and absolutely loved your video! As an Orthodox Christian I find it fascinating learning about other religions and your channel brings me so much peace and comfort! God bless you!
I love how the rows of seats are facing each other. It seams more friendly than what we have in most churches.
Sara, with great appreciation for this opportunity, what surprised me the most was the illuminated sign showing the times that Sh'ma and other blessings could be recited ... a very nice experience seeing a synagogue in the Sephardic tradition as I've only been in Ashkenazi facilities. Again, thank you so much. Many blessings upon you for your mitzvah and upon your family for their support.
thank you so so much for your kind words: I am so happy you are here!
stay safe and blessed!
What surprised me most was that no one seems to take off their shoes. I've been in mosques and Hindu temples but never in a Synagogue. Although I am a staunch atheist I loved seeing the beautiful decor and Torah scrolls (I would like to know how old they are). Jewish people seem so down to earth but also full of life, we owe them respect and peace.
Jews do not remove their shoes when inside a synagogue.
@@robmancuso964 I gathered as much
@cocobunitacobuni8738: thank you 😊
I love connecting with you!.
Thanks for showing us your beautiful synagogue!
Shalom !
Sara, I am going to echo what other Christians/Catholics have said. I actually was not surprised in the least by what is in the synagogue because we have the same items in our church. The sanctuary lamp, the candles of remembrance, the showing of Scripture during worship, the synagogue hall with the kitchen - it just made me feel glad. Thank you for your beautiful videos. Knowing that you are keeping the Faith helps me to stay grounded when doubts creep in. G-d bless you and your family.
I love the details in the synagogue! the decorations are stunning, especially the stained glass and the paintings.
Thank you so much! I love the decorations as well : it makes it so much special!
Really I surprised that you have a lot of things in your prayers and timing like Islam ❤and happy Eid for Muslims thanke you Sarah you are great person god saves you
I was surprised with the synagogue within the synagogue and all those beautiful prayer books in the women's section. Thanks for the tour. Such a beautiful place of worship.
The strong sense of belonging resonated with me; the tree of life, names on seats, lights for those who have passed. It’s such a beautiful tradition.
More and more, your videos are becoming something I truly look forward to at the end of my week. Work has me oh so tired, but your soothing voice is every bit as refreshing as this mineral water I’m enjoying as I learn more about your life, your faith, your culture. It’s beautiful. I love to connect with you! ❤️✡️
Synagogues are just breathtaking! The way the scrolls are cared for and stored are beautiful. Thank you to the men who helped in recording during a reading! It was beautiful to see. 😍😍
Thank you for your ongoing sharing of your life and culture.
I am not of your faith but was raised to be respectful of others' beliefs.
Your synagogue appears to me to be a place of caring and sharing. Caring because of the respect for families and sharing because we're this not so, you would not have been permitted to let us experience it's beauty. It also appeared to be a place of peace but also one that shared joyous celebrations.
My respects to you , your cantor and your rabbi for this sharing.
Greetings from Brisbane Australia
Shalom, Dr. Sarah. My husband introduced your channel, and I am looking forward to learning more on Orthodox Sephardic Judaism. I am currently a Noahide (left the Catholic faith more than a decade ago, and jumped to various Christian denominations; and have been drawn to Torah and Jewish Wisdom since about 9 years ago). I follow Rabbi Michael Skobac and Rabbi Manis Friedman. My husband is a regular at an Orthodox Sephardic Synagogue back home. Soon, B"H, we are looking forward to converting. Thank you for the videos.
I just got home from Mass (Roman Catholic) and saw your video up. I love my church and worshipping God in that special space. I love how you seem to have the same love for the space where you and your family worship God as well!
Salut Sara, je suis énormément étonnée que le synagogue ait un grand vestibule pour les fetes et une cuisine complète avec de nombreux d'assiettes. Et oui j'aime beaucoup connecter avec toi. Bonne semaine et à la prochaine fois
Wow the Torah are so beautiful!! Actually the whole Synagog is beautiful.
I'm Ashkenazi and I've been conservative my whole life. I absolutely love your channel because I've always wondered what it would be like to be orthodox. And the synagogue where I grew up is becoming more modern orthodox. ❤❤❤
The most surprising part for me was the incredibly rich ornamentation on the Torah protective covers. I also wonder why the scrolls are written without vowels?! Thank you so much, Sarah, for this amazing tour of an orthodox synagogue. ❤️
Hi Karen!
I am so happy you liked the decoration on the Torah Scrolls :)
there is no vowels as it is a perfect replica of the Torah Given by G.od to the Jewish people and there was no vowels in it :)
"I love to connect with you"" 💙 I really enjoy your videos and learning more. One thing I love about going to shul in Israel is that there is a LOT less talking in the women's section than there was in my country of origin. There's a beautiful sign in a shul in Yerushalayim that says "If you talk here, then where will you pray?""
you are so right!
when i was in Seminary in Eretz Israel: i LOVED this about the shuls: the Ezrat NAshim was sooo quiet!: it makes everything more meaningful IMO!
Thank you for this! I am not Jewish and have not had the privilege of being in a synagogue. What a beautiful place of prayer, worship, reverence, and joy!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful place of worship and your traditions. Growing up in a Christian home, we were called Primitive Baptists, and the women and men were separated during worship and prayers. I was always asked why we separated the women from the men during worship and thanks to you, now I know. Thank you.
Your videos are so loving. Thank you. Sometimes after a hard day your videos really soothe the soul. ❤
Beyond the lessons shared, it is her voice
Thank you so much for the kind words! It's so great to hear that our videos can help soothe the soul.
I love to connect with you!
Love your videos Sara. Its always an education to watch them. Makes me feel a connection to my own Jewish ancestry 😌x
aww so happy you are here and you can connect with your Jewish lineage:) xoxox
I have been, in a couple in my younger days, to synagogues like yours and it was quite an experience. One thing I became immediately aware of is that they werent scary and were quite inviting.
The contrast is quite stark compared to a Gothic Catholic place which is dark and very intimidating, overflowing with very disturbing painful death orientated images.
Thank you for your informative video essay.
I really appreciate your effort in making your religion known to people of other faiths... Thank you
I absolutely loved coming along with you, thank you so much for sharing with us ❤ I'm not Jewish myself but live in a Jewish part of my city and love learning from you, it's so interesting ❤️ xxx
Hi Sara. It is so good to have you back. How is work going? You’re situation, unfortunately,is happening all over. It can prove to be dangerous for staff and patients. Nobody can do their best when they’re exhausted! Please know that I pray for all of you daily. I just wish that the upper management would hatch a brain and realize that there are more important things in life than huge profits. Of course every business needs to be profitable but a line has to drawn somewhere to keep everyone safe. Please take care of you!! As always, I loved today’s video!! There is so much that the synagogue has that my church has. We have books that have a month of readings and other things that take place at Mass. we also have a small box by the doors for charity. It’s always been referred to as the poor box. We also have a large reception area with a kitchen. Since my parish has a school, the reception area also serves as the lunchroom for the children. I love your stained glass windows. That is something else we share. The biggest surprise for me was the smaller synagogue within the larger one. I do love to connect with you!! As always,I learned so much!! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I have the world’s best teacher!! Please take care of you!!! Love you so,so much!! You’re in my prayers and heart always!!! Have a wonderful week and I’ll talk to you Friday and will see you Sunday. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
hello sweet CLaudia:) AS you know i always look forward to your message: it fuels my hear tnad soul for the week!
I think about you and your family and pray the pregnancy is going beautifully well
xoxox
@@frumitup Thank you so much Sara!! The pregnancy is going very well. There are no health problems with the baby. We’re all so excited that it’s terribly difficult waiting 😂. This is already a baby we’re in love wy
I'm Jewish and I wanted to say how much I truly appreciate your videos. Btw, your Synagogue is stunning they've created a very welcoming space. The name plaques on the seating are especially nice.
I found this really interesting as a non Jew I had no idea about Synagogues
It's all so beautiful
Thank you Sarah from Scotland with love ❤️
Hi Sara Malka. I’m still so glad you’re back! You’re one of my favourite channels! I’ve just come back from Israel and was able to pass on a few bits of knowledge that I’ve learned from you to my travel partner (the mezuzah, kiddush cup, the kosher kitchen, why married orthodox Jewish women cover their hair and how). I really enjoyed it there and leaned so much. I hope you are well 😊
Awww thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Sara, loved this video. Such beautiful spaces and as always I learnt so much. I’m wondering if you’ve ever considered doing a series on motherhood as an orthodox Jewish woman? For example talking through pregnancy and any traditions and then any traditions surrounding motherhood itself! As always thank you so much for always sharing your life and love for those around you so openly ❤
What a great idea! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
That would be awesome!
hi sara, i just wanted to leave a message her for you I'm not sure if you will see it but i just wanted to let you know how much me and my grandmother love you and your channel. we are not Jewish but my grandmother is a Christian who visits Israel every year (since 2008) to partake in Jewish holidays with her Jewish friends. i found your channel by chance and you are so wonderful, kind and caring, i thank you for being a part of my life. i may not be Jewish but you have taught me so many things like how to be gentle with myself and to take every day as a blessing.
And my grandmothers friends will be visiting us from Israel this week i plan to use your recipe to make them Challah!!
Thank you again, you have done so much for me. May G.od bless you and your family eternally.
I say this with great respect, I'm 100% amazed at everything there. I never realized the level of details you have there.
Not Jewish but loved the tour. I can't say I was surprised but so touched by the reverence and immersive atmosphere for your faith.
Wowww very interesting today !!
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️I cannot wait to see you at the premiere
I’ve learned so much from you. Sometimes I rewatch your cooking videos for ASMR. Your voice along with cooking is very soothing to my mind. Thank you.
The beauty of the Torah Scroll coverings.
I am so excited to watch this and learn. I just adore your channel as a place of spirituality, positivity and learning. I love connecting with you.
aww thank you :)
Thank you Sarah.. I started with Israel Palestine topic and after many hours of reading news and research ended up here. Finally found something peaceful to finish. It's so detailed and you delivered everything with enthusiasm. Your voice is so lovely. If I had to make my tree of life I'll add this video title as an important event.
Awww thank you Krishna
I am so happy it could help in any way ❤️❤️❤️

I found the comment on praying in the same location in the synagogue interesting. Over the many, many years I have been going to church, I find myself always gravitating to same place in relation to the altar. At home I have a chair that I only use for prayer. This helps me remind myself that when I am in this chair, my focus is on G-d. I want to also share that a couple of weeks ago I asked the Frum It Up community to pray for some upcoming medical tests. Thank G-d, everything came back benign and able to be treated with medication. I am very grateful for any prayer that came my way. Sara, thank you for this wonderful place of learning and care.
The part I found most joyful and reverent was learning that the holy scrolls get danced with.
thank you for your videos! the Synagogue is laid out very similarly to many of the black-American southern baptist churches I've attended- all the way to the women's balcony!
Thank you Sara, It kind of helps me think about what my great grandparents went through They are Ashkenazi Jewish...
i am so happy it can help you better connect with your grandparents:)
I think the simplicity of the architecture surprised me the most. It is beautifully designed. Seeing the hall decorated for a party, so contemporary yet harmoneous, was also interesting. The excellent quality of materials & decoration is noticible & the middle eastern, almost Arabic, touches gives a peaceful ambience. But most of all, that it all points to God's Presence through the deep interconnectedness of the Community.
Aww thank you for your amazingly beautiful comment filled with nuances and expertise ❤️❤️❤️
I am not Jewish, I am a foreigner and consider myself a Noahide Ger. Your video was very good and thank you for the time and effort that you put into the video. Shalom
I love to connect with you! Thank you Sara!
You are so welcome!
Do you have any older Torah scrolls that came from Morocco, or Israel? As a child in our Conservative synagogue, they allowed young people to undress and redress the Torah before and after reading. They had picked me one week, It was such a special time, I remember. I was under 10 years old but still remember that day.
we do have old Torah scrolls from Morocco and Israel
I am happy you got to experience to touch a Sefer TOrah: it seems to have really left a powerful positive memory:) stay safe and blessed sweet friend!
Thank You Sara for showing us your lovely Synagogue. I was surprised to see such a big kitchen. But when you explained about the celebrations and no travel on Shabbat, it made sense.
I have to say the thing that surprised me the most was the beautiful containers that kept the Torah scrolls. They were so breathtakingly gorgeous.
I totally agree! I find them absolutely stunning!
The part of having your loved ones who are passed with you brought to tears. Very beautiful. Both my parents and my beloved aunt have passed and i believe their souls are at peace and guiding the living. I my purse i have little items that i carrie with me that i can touch so i can feel them near me. Your video's are amazing and i am watching them all. Sending you all my love from the Netherlands ❤
I am so happy this part resonates with you too❤️
I completely understand that by carrying something of them, makes you feel like they are with you 🥰🥰
Stay safe and blessed
Beautiful synagogue, thank you for the tour!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I am a reform Jew, but I love learning about other sects of my religion!
I was surprised about the big kitchen in the synagoge. Really nice to have a look in the synagoge together with you. Thank you.
I love to connect with you! Thank you for sharing your faith with us! ❤
I'm note Jewish but I LOVE to connect with you. Thank you Sarah for your beautiful teachings. Hugs from Barcelona !!!!!!!🙋♀️🇪🇸❤️🇮🇱
I am Catholic and am still surprised at how much we have in common i our churches and synagogues. Thank you for your videos.
The smaller steps in the women’s section was a bit of a surprise, but as a Muslim, after you explained it, it made complete sense!
