Baruch HaShem!!!

Israel is lucky to have you as some of its newest citizens. May this move bring your family peace, prosperity and a deepening of your commitment both to your faith and to each other.

Boruch Hashem! I was worried about you on Yom Tov. Didn't hear from you for soooooooo long. I am posting this happy comment before even watching the vid. B"H you are all ok!

Boruch HaShem! My wife and I are loving your videos. We have been in the Holy Land going on six years. We also love the family profile picture. Please continue to show your journey to Israel.

You guys are such an inspiration and a source of happiness and pride to so many of us Jews . Thank you Hashem for blessing us with the Lev family ❤ .

Kosher and happy Passover, may hashem bless you, and- ''ברוכים הבאים לארץ הקודש''💗

I'm in my conversion process, you guys are amazing. Sending love from Brazil❤ 🇧🇷

Love House of Lev family!! You guys always put a smile on my face and heart! 🤗

You guys are amazing! It’s much harder to make Pesach when you have little children. This is what we do: We move our chometz food and makeshift kitchen (toaster oven and burner) into the dining room for about a week before… while we clean and prepare the kitchen for Pesach. Sometime we have takeout food that week to reduce the cooking load in the dining room. The day of bedikas chometz we clean up the dining room and get it ready for Pesach. We also have an extra fridge in the garage to hold all the Pesach groceries until the kitchen fridge is ready. I do not bring Pesach food into my chometz kitchen. Dry goods will stay in a box until the kitchen is Pesach ready. Once the kitchen is ready I bring all the Pesach goods and food into the kitchen and use the garage fridge for the chometz stuff. Also, no food is ever allowed in any room except for the kitchen or dining room all year.

Your children are so beautiful!!!! I'm really looking forward to your journey to Israel. I was there back in the mid 80s, I stayed on a kibbutz for six months. I hope to go back some day, I would really like to retire there, the only thing holding me back is that I don't want to leave my friends. It's a tough decision. Also downsizing would be tough, I don't even live in a house, just an apartment but I have so much stuff!

I am so excited for you guys. I can’t even put it into words. Just a few more months!! Also, on the grocery shopping, you will have isles that are just sectioned off with plastic and labeled Chametz. So all of the products available are all kosher for Pesach. It’s so convenient. For instance, I was just in Tiberias to grab some mayonnaise, and they only have the Israeli one that is kosher for right now, and the one I normally use is put away. Which I would’ve never known. So convenient. You’re gonna love it. Have a great Yom Tov!

We hope you all had a great Yomtov! The world needs the heilige Harts! ❤❤✡✡

Such a gorgeous family!

Such a beautiful family! We are very happy for you that you are able to go to Israel. May HaShem bless each and everyone of you, and may HaShem establish your handiwork, your handiwork may He establish and allow you to bless Israel with your goodness.

I’m currently nesting while pregnant and this is the perfect timing to celebrate

Chag Pesach Sameach! 💙🤍💙

My sister!! Sending my love! I think of you all often and my soul is just jumping with you and so excited about your blessed arrival.

I can feel the Passover pressure through the video! I hope your Passover has been wonderful!!! Miss seeing you!! ❤

I am in awe of you guys

Wow, your family is amazing. We are lucky to have you as part of the Jewish people!

Yaaay ❤ I can't wait for your new journey to come to Israel

You all give me such chazak when I watch you all. Thank you so much for sharing. Bezerat Hashem we will see your first Sukkot video in beautiful Eretz Yisrael. 🇮🇱 Chag Sameach.

Wow! Amazing! So happy for you! A huge smile on my face! Mazal tov! Hope to see you here in Israel soon! Thank you for sharing your wonderful special inspiring journey with us! May you go from strength to strength. G-d bless!!!

We missed you ❤ Hope you'll go on uploading videos when youll be in Israel

Beautiful family love watching your journey 💞

Now that 1st vlog was simply beautiful. I know you were so tired but these videos are giving us hope in converting also. I just know it's the right path for ALL mankind. Toddah Rabbah❤

So excited for you guys❤ welcome home🙏🏽, the homeland has been waiting for you🌸

How beautiful it is to make Aliyah! I lived in Israel between ages 9-14, dream of moving back one day :)

I came to Israel ( we havnt officially made aliyah yettttt but taking it a year at a time because so hard to leave family) But just want to ease your mind, it took my 5 year old, and 4 year old boys about 8 months to be absolutely fluent in hebrew. They understood quicker, and it's something that is absolutely incredible to watch in a child's brain. When they start school I just kept telling them that Hashem made a miracle that kids brains are like sponges and can learn language WAY faster then grown ups. That gave them a lot of confidence I think, my 5 year old would always repeat it to me. Now I always tell him, remember when Hebrew was hard for you? He corrects me, and already translates for his Dad ( I speak.) Anyways that was my biggest anxiety when I came here so hope it helps! Hope your kids get placed in classes and gans that have kids from all over, we are in a predominately french community, so half my kids class were learning hebrew from French, Ukrainian, and Russian, and half were native hebrew speakers. I think that mix made them feel less weird about not speaking the language.. Older kids do take longer, but they'll forsure get there!!

So excited for you that b'ezrat haShem "Next year in Jerusalem" is going to be the real deal for you! I hope we'll get to see you enjoying that moment, if only virtually!

Chag sameach to your beautiful, holy family!!!

IN Israel, the kitchen counter tops are made of ganite. You dont have to cover them with contact paper. You scrub them down, then splash boiling water all over. Walah! Kosher for Pesach.

I live a Chabad life,B"H. The only processed food we eat is wine, a few use cold pressed oil. AND NOTHING TOUCHS OUR matzos the first 7 days. 4 or 5 weeks before I clean the big scrubbing jobs. Then it gets a quick clean just before the Yom Tov. Where you put your hot foods down it is best to have 3 layers under. EVERY YEAR I GET BETTER AT THIS. How careful you are can have what things we not knowing did wrong disappear . YOU ARE ALL DOING SO WONDERFUL!!!!

I admire you guys so much... If you ever in mood for good and kosher Moroccan meal, you are more than welcome! ❤ from Jerusalem

So inspiring! Love you, House of Lev!!!!! Hatzlacha on your aliyah!

So excited for you guys but gonna miss y’all! Hope your Chag has been amazing🔥

Watching the videos of your beautiful family, has been the light in all this darkness. I’m glad you’re making aliyah. Your amazing children will be better off growing up in Israel. Chag sameach and all the best to you guys!

Hey guys, the vlog was great, it was very insightful. I definitely enjoyed it, lots of effort there. I felt Akiva's frustration 😂😂. May the memory for every frustration be for a blessing, lol. Looking forward to meet you both in Israel G-d willing. Happy Passover and B'ezrat HaShem on preparing to move from the US.

Chag Sameach ❤

Not in any way a criticism of you Akiva and Chava (luv y’all and your content to bits, so inspiring) but I am very curious how Leah and Betzalel feel about the move to Israel 🇮🇱. I realise it is some years away because both are still in high school but as citizens of Israel will they not be required to do national service? The younger bubs will obviously grow up aware and ready for this eventuality, not knowing any different, but how do your older ones feel that in 2-4 years time they will be soldiers? How do you as parents feel about this? I pray for peace as much as the next person, that no Jew ever need lay down their lives again but the threats nonetheless persist. With Hashem’s grace we will triumph but still how does everyone feel beyond the excitement, as there is some very serious, even scary, consideration as a parent and as a teenager to be made. Chag Sameach and All the Best

The couch- a place of mystery, though you should never be totally surprised at what turns up . Mazel Tov to all of you. love and peace and strength to you as venture forth.

Some of the most delicious (i.e. cutest) memories of Pesach are how the little kids get the Four Questions just a little bit wrong. If it's good enough, their nephews and nieces will hear of it, and the teasing won't end even when you have grandkids. (The repetition of "mikol haleilot" at the end of each question is quite common. Happens in every household.)

Wow! What a special time. Pesach prep for the first time! Hope it was a beautiful Yom Tov! Sending love from Cedarhurst, NY . You guys are so inspiring! Found your channel recently, always looking for kosher screen time for myself to watch and relax and ultimately connect! Keep being awesome! As a Giyores myself who grew up in the mainstream orthodox system here in NY… I definitely had my ups and downs. Baruch Hashem, it’s been a journey. We are all on our unique journeys in life. You guys seem so incredibly authentic and special. Hatzlacha Raba!

What a beautiful Jewish family ❤❤ Hugs from Israel

WELCOME HOME!!!!! Hope to bump into you guys some time!!!! I'm in Beit Shemesh!

Beautiful family happy passover

ברוכים הבאים לישראל!!! It's always amazing to see people WANTING to come live with us in israel 🇮🇱 It's HARD to live I'm israel (I was born and raised here), but it's completely worth it! This country is holy and gorgeous, and the very best thing about it is the Israelis, we are worm and welcoming, so..... WELCOME HOME ❤

You made a nice video. And just accept with some laughter in your heart that you are still 'students'. You will experience that every year things go easier. You just have to find your own prep routines. Next pesach for sure with your own easy to find seder bord.👍🌻

Amazing 🎉I’m really considering doing Aliyah with my 4 kids too. May HaShem guide me.❤

Love you all! Please keep posting- do a parsha of the week class -you inspire me! You are my TRIBE

can't wait to meet you guys

I’m not crying, you are!

Wow!!! We want to do that!!! Looking forward !!!

Even though I don't agree with your religion I think this is great. My mom was Jewish and she lived in Czechoslovakia. And she always wanted to move closer to her people good luck with your move

We can't wait to welcome u home with open hands 💜

Mazel Tov , guys !!!!! Your Aliyah is an obvious spiritual pull back home. ❤

I follow the sefradic tradition it’s not that hard to Kosherize the kitchen . For example we kasher the utensils in the Dishwasher. There is no need to kasher the countertops . We kasher pots by putting them in the oven on highest heat for about 30-45 min or ..just putting them in a bigger pot with boiling water ( like you did 😊) . We don’t kasher glass we just clean it . Etc

Chag Semeach Pesach! My first Passover as a Jew as well. So excited!!

Wow how fantastic! Have a wonderful life in Israel!

Some people have a separate pesach kitchen, and they begin to cook after Purim, that’s not my case. I usually kasher 3 days before and during that transition time I make a designated chometz section in my house either down stairs or in the garage.

Your children are so lovely! Chag Pesach Sameach!

No way! Mazal Tov! Chag Sameach! Welcome to new beginnings! Wishing you all a safe move!

I was super exhausted getting ready for Pesach this year. It felt like I was never going to finish. Now I am still putting the kitchen back together. My husband said I am doing too much but I want to put things in the way I like and not the way there were. Yes, it makes more work but once I'm done it will be worth it.

You are the most amazing Jewish couple in the world!! Beautiful family ❣️

Much success lev family,very refreshing.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Wow I am so excited for you! I ove Israel and cant wait to visit it again! May God bless you!

Can’t wait to see you guys make Aliyah! Very exciting and definitely worth it, when I’m able to convert I hope to one day make Aliyah and join the Jewish nation of Yisrael

Good for you! You guys give us so much chizuk

‏Mazal Tov, move to Israel is the better decision after the conversion. I wish the best for you and your pretty family

You guys did great!! Until next year in yerushalayim!

Looking into making Aliyah after Pesach. Hope to gleen some tips from you!

Chag Sameach to you and your family! ♥ So happy for your family!

I love seeing you with your sweet family! I would love to know if becoming Jewish impacted your relationships with eachother or with your kiddos. How has Judaism impacted how you parent? So excited for you!!

A beautiful and blessed family!

My heart is soaring with joy at watching y'all.

Am curious where you're planning to dig in roots when you arrive here. Wow what a challenge! Facts: You have to buy closets. Not everything is kosher here, but there are many kosher supermarkets. Our week starts Sunday - Friday work places close but shopping and school are open! A decent sized apartment here is less than 900 sq feet. Most live in apartments. Even though most Israelis are secular, they still love Friday night family dinners with kiddush and love Passover Seders. Hope you had a good one!

I have a table and large boxes underneath the table, in my lounge with all chametz household products that i have gathered (for anyone to use), from all the rooms around the house and our car, the weekend before Pesach weekend, that we use and bring back to the table. I buy extra pesach foods i.e. fruits veg to transition over a couple days before Pesach, once we finally remove all chametz, we eat out for a couple meals (to reduce the stress i.e. lunch and or dinner night before erev pesach, as by that time i want no more back and forth or emotional or mental attachment to the chametz, just remove it - or im forever cleaning and the kids need you also untired). Chag sameach!

You guys have a beautiful family. Praying everything goes well with the move.

When the sweet girl sings she has a Yiddish accent:))_HAG SAMEHACH_Hearty family

I love you guys! Hope Passover was blessed for you. Send you my love ❤

This is so special that you guys are preparing for aliyah and Pesach at the same time. It is literally an exodus for your blessed family. Thanks for sharing the blessings with us! :)

I’m not Jewish but I love watching your channel and love your little family. Your kiddos are so cute! Good luck on your move and please please be safe! Not gonna lie it scares me a bit with everything going on but I know Hashem will bless you in all you do.

Can't wait ❤

Waiting for you here overlooking Jerusalem!

I've been having matzah pizza every day and I'm LOVING it ❤

Good Luck to your beautiful family!!!

I'm considering making aliyah in a few years as well. Mazel 🔥

❤❤❤❤ Good Luck guys. We love you

Bless your family!! So amazing!

Can you post more about your aliyah plans? Neighborhoods for amricns? Kids reaction? Wen ur moving? Thanks for the channel really enjoying it

Mazel Tov, welcome 😊

Before the holidays moms maid would clean the house!!! She was from Porteges!! I'm single and its hard to do when family lives far away and I live in a non jewish area in Pa. I also don't keep kosher anymore! Been thinking of emergrating ti Israel, mazel tov on your future move there, my you have all the succuss life has to offer there!!!!!

We have wooden backgrounds in Israel, too FYI.

I just clean a part of the counter ahead of time. Also clean and kasher my oven and stove and we just eat out of our microwave and toaster oven for a week or so.

Wonderful news

Your kids so gorgeous Just like the parents Good luck in Israel ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
