  • In this video I will take you along for a week in my life as an Orthodox Jew. In this week in the life (WITL), I will take you along as I clean those, homeschool the kids, and deal with the ups and downs and surprises and curveballs of my week as we gear up for Shabbat.
    Hello and welcome! My name is Chana, I’m married to my best friend, and we have three wonderful children together. We also happen to be Orthodox Jews and we homeschool our kids. This video is a sneak peek into our daily lives :) You can see how this particular Jewish homeschool mom sets up her days, rolls with the punches, and gets it all done. Thanks for watching!
