  • đŸ˜ČOrthodox Jews Can’t Start Shabbat Without these 14 Surprising Things Shabbat Prohibitions
    #shabbat #jewish #orthodox
    Today I will be answering so many of your Shabbat questions about how Orthodox families keep Shabbat. There are 39 categories of prohibitions on Shabbat which are derived from activities which were required in the setting up and maintenance of the the Tabernacle or Mishkan. I have attached a link to help explain: www.chabad.org...
    -How do Orthodox Jews heat up food for Shabbat?
    -Can Orthodox Jews rip Toilet paper and paper towels for Shabbat?
    -Preparing Plastic wrap, parchment paper and foil for Shabbat use
    -Do Orthodox Jews keep Shabbat in the dark?
    -Preparing the oven for Shabbat use
    -Do Orthodox families not have Heat/AC on Shabbat?
    -How do Shabbat Observant families have Hot water on Shabbat?
    -Preparing the Fridge for Shabbat Use
    -Preparing bedrooms and guest rooms for Shabbat
    How do Orthodox Women Light Shabbat Candles?
    -What is the Shabbat Candle Blessing?
    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:

      I live in Israel and have a solution for the problem of using a roll of plastic wrap on Shabbat. Available in all the supermarkets here are "shower caps" which come in a box of 20 and stretch over bowls and platters. If you can find shower caps in the dollar store you could use them.

    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

    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!

      Honestly, growing up in a time when stores (even groceries) were closed on Sunday was another aspect that made Shabbat observance more difficult, because it meant that both days off were restricted in what could be done. Nowadays, I can plan all my errands for Sunday, the one day I have free to do things. (I generally plan my week, my meals, get groceries, go to my off-site storage, go to the pharmacy, etc.)

    Hi Sonya. For shabbos I use twist tie baggies to lay over things that need plastic like let’s say a fruit platter 
 because the precut plastic wrap for me got stuck to everything and then didn’t stick where I needed it. Lol. I just lay it over the item and if necessary I also pre ripped the ties in case I needed one. Also there are stretchy container : bowl covers that I use on shabbos that are very helpful. 😊

      As a kid we didn't know that either.. the Shabbos sponge came out about 8-10 years ago. Before that, some people used plastic bags. This is much better!

    I love that my Jewish friend explained it as not allowed to do anything that requires work. And that you are not even allowed to ask someone to do it for you, like she can't ask someone to push her floor on the elevator, she cant even tell them if they ask, she just says "I'll get off on your floor" and use the stairs the rest of the way. I think she said her building is looking at turning one of the elevators into a Shabbas elevator, that its constantly running and programmed to stop on every floor and automatically opens the doors on each floor, kinda the same idea as your timer for your fridge

    Very interesting to see and learn all the preparations that go into the celebration. It is a lot to do every week but it seems to be a very rewarding experience and it is part of your identity and your life style is centered around it. It is a wonderful thing to experience such peace and calmness for your family and household. I was wondering if you have family or close friends spend a Shabbat with you and if they spend the whole weekend sleeping over because of the restriction of driving? Thank you Sonya for the knowledge of this whole topic.
