As a biological Jew who was adopted and raised by christians and is currently in the process of legitimate conversion, your videos are so, so, so, so encouraging and helpful...I feel more at home each time I watch them...so thank you, for what it's worth...

Raised as a Christian in Alabama it is so nice hearing you explain Jewish lore and Holidays. We all have some much to learn and appreciate. Happy Holidays.

The Day of atonement isn't only for Jews it's not a Jewish holiday it is one of God's Feast....everyone should be celebrating this time especially christians.

Im fasting two days a week, and Im also celebrating the sabbath from friday 6 pm to saturday 6 pm.

My family tradition to break the fast definitely includes Bagels, cream cheese, and lox as well as lots of ice cold pickled herring. These are must haves around here!

I am muslim and we have a lot of similarities of fasting etc. And we do wear white with same reason 👍

OMW I had no idea you were a fellow South African!! 😭🙌💜🇿🇦 So awesome!!!!

Wishing you an easy and meaningful fast if you are fasting, and if u arent fasting then a beautiful day connecting to Hashem. :)

I agree, fasting is such a blessing, but it can be hard! I love this service, l had the privilege to watch it. Having a flesh start, is a wonderful gift! Thank you for sharing. Moira From England.

I am trying to reconnect with my Hebrew heritage and found this video. Thank you for posting!

I remember thinking it was SO weird that our synagog served pickled herring and honey cake to break the fast. I remember thinking “you haven’t eaten all day and THIS is what you pick first?” But recently I’ve found myself missing it (even though i literally haven’t had it in over 15 years!)

Thank you, I am new to the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur and this will be my first year to celebrate and fast also take my walk with Father God to a higher level. I will need some guidance so I will visit your channel to learn more. Yahweh is lifting my awareness to him and Yashua with the help of the HolySpirit.

Shana Tova! Your videos are so incredibly positive!

Shana Tova, Marion! I hope you and your family had a great Rosh Hashanah:) I went to Rosh Hashanah service at synagogue for the first time ever and I loved it! I'm so looking forward to the upcoming Yom Kippur service! I just want to thank you again for being such an inspiration in my spiritual journey. I wish you and your channel lots of success in the new year! ❤️✡

Shalom 💖

Thank you! I was reminded of some of the things I needed to remember. Thank you, this was so helpful and blessed!

I learned so much! I had heard of Yom Kippur but had no idea what it actually was until this video!

Kol Nidrei is my favorite service, it's just so beautiful. I grew up as a New York transplant in South Florida so yes Bagels was what we always broke the fast with and nothing like carbs to get some energy back.

Thanks for your teaching.. be blessed in the name of Yeshua. From South Africa

My daughter and I are LOVING your videos from New Zealand! Our family has a tradition of teaching children to fast 2 hours for every year of life as a way of gradually easing them into it gently. So a 4 year old sleeps through it. As do most 5 year olds (no food for an hour or two before bed, and the sleep through the rest of the time). By age 7 or 8 children will need to wake and wait an hour or two to eat before reaching the 14 or 16 hour mark and many of them quickly work out sleeping in makes this easier! Down here in Christchurch the mothers then make a big deal out of how long the child went as we are such a tiny expat community so most of the children view each other as though they are “cousins”....Moving to Wellington next year but if you ever find yourself heading to New Zealand give a shout out and happy to host you for a meal!

Marion thank you so much for all your videos. You were meant for this and I appreciate it so much. I'm learning and living and you've helped me so much. Thanks 💛

Yes Marion thank you for that information.

Thank you for taking the time to share your beautiful religion ! (: Hope you and your little ones are staying safe !

Ahhhh love it!! Your kids are sooo lucky to have you!

I love these fact videos, Marion. I’ve always loved Kol Nidrei and the cello music at our services. You’re right that it’s unlike any other.

Keep this great videos coming!!

You are precious. G-d bless your family!!! You smiled the entire video! So cool!

Very enlightening and informative

Great video about Yom Kippur. I hope you and your beautiful family had a wonderful Rosh Hashanah. It makes me so happy that I am able to connect with someone has awesome has you are!

Thank you very much for the video of Yom Kipur. I could grasp much.

I just adore the way you explain things....don't think it can be done any better. Shana Tova, dear Marion, Andrew, Max and Corey!!! May God bless you abundantly

That is so beautiful.

Happy belated Rosh Hashanah. From our families to yours as my grandmother used to say it to us in Russian translating for you to English on Rosh Hashanah we are inscribed and on Yom Kippur, we are sealed. I have not been allowed to fast due to my medical issues and other things. We had a great Rosh Hashanah holiday and took our book to our local Chabad shul to attend service and for him to hear the shofar not to mention to touch the Torah. Since he is only almost 21 months old and not yet independently walking it is hard to just leave him with other kids to play while we go to service. So my husband and I trade-off when we go to attend services. For Yom Kippur we will be doing the same I am going to go to some of the service and my husband will too with trading-off once again in watching our boy. Our mom's club does meetups each week and one of them happens to be on that day of Yom Kippur with a mark playdate. I know I am supposed to attend services with our little one or be home so it is hard to decide on what to do because I know it is a holy day where you are not supposed to be doing much other then saying sorry with praying.

Lovely

thank u

I wouldn't say that they just DONT have a big meal because my grandma suggested that we had a big dinner on yom kippor

Can you please do a video on how to behave at a Shiva house? One of my friend's passed away and I want to know what to expect at a Shiva house.

My grandson is due on Yom kippur

I unfortunately will not be able to fast due to my medical issues. I have low blood sugar so I need to eat every four hours. Good Yom Tov! Kol Nidre the prayer sends the shivers down my spine. I wear a tallit and kippah since I am allowed to as a Reform Jew.

We always break fast with breakfast/brunch. I just can't eat anything heavy or leafy. I need bread-like products. LOL. We do eat a heavier feast before it starts though. I haven't fasted in so long.....at least, not full fasting. I can't, neither can my husband. So, we try to keep to liquids or liquid foods. Like, broth and shakes and stuff. It's never fully satisfying, but we are getting in the type of nutrients we need to not get sick (or when I was breastfeeding after baby started some solids). Also, I allow my daughter, who is 14 this year, to do the same. I feel like we are still kind of getting the message, and not getting sick. I always say "just do your best, that's all you can expect of yourself".

Do you do miktzah stuff on Yom kiper

Shana Tova!

Thanks for your video Marion. I love some of your sentiments about your faith.

Can you do a video explaining the thing you wear across your shoulders? The thing you wear when you get married and buried (I'm so sorry I don't know what you called it). Or maybe just a video explaining Jewish funerals? I went to one and had no idea what was going on and felt so bad because it was my grandpa. :(((((

I looked at the Machzor for Yom Kippur in shul today, and I turned to the Musaf section.... It's like 300 pages long.. 😢😢😢 ... ugh.....

I think I understood Yom Kippur fairly well already somehow ... perhaps from childhood friends. I have to say though ... To be in a household where some people are fasting and others are not ... That has to be torture.

Shana Tova Marion for You and Your Family.

G’amar chatima Tova

I wish you would make a video with your mother. You are so sweet, it must be connected to her too ...

what month is it held?

WE LOVE YOU, VERY SOON

How sucot?

How many children do you have? because you siad you have not fasted for 5 years

If you only have to fast for 24 hours why can’t you just cook the day before? That way you can have a nice meal when it’s time to break your fast…

So no water?

I ask all Jewish people and my friends.what did you do wrong for god on earth to forgive you.. Are talking about god man on earth.Or the sun 🌞 of god that shine on us?

Girl! You following me back yet?

You talk too fast ! Slow down! Thank you 🙏 from my heart to yours Michael ❤️🎶

What’s the real story why you celebrate it ? .. I don’t understand it ? just for God you keep fasting .. and why god allowed pregnant women not to fast ? Is he dr or something ..🧐🤔

May I ask I thought Jewish marred women cover there hair

The Jewish people, or you?

Very nice, but please, don't talk so fast... Hatima tovah! 🌻

slow down

You shouldn't be so giddy and saying over and over again, "You Guys..." Highly unprofessional. Also, there is absolutely NOTHING WRONG with having a bagel to Break the Fast. Meat? I am a Vegetarian. To me you devouring MEAT is a Sin within itself. That creature was slaughtered.
