Wow wow!! Unbelievable strength.. Keep it up❤

Your son is just such a sweet soul! I wonder where he gets that from! Haha! You guys just blended your kindness and sweetness into a person! It’s amazing may Hashem bless you forever ❤

I hear....but I love her outfit. Hatzalacha on getting through the Aliyah process

Super inspirational! Really needed to hear all of this today in this season of life.

I really needed this video. Toda raba 💕

Thank you for sharing your journey ❤ Shavua Tov!

How awesome that you are moving to Israel! You will love it so much. Love what you are saying about "going higher" and the turbulence that accompanies that ascendency. You guys are on the right track. What an incredible journey you are all on. Adore the vlog. Very inspiring. Blessings to all your family.

The Barmitzvah Boy. Wow!

I loved this. Thank you. What you guys shared in the end and how you apply Torah to help daily life was solid and uplifting. I never heard the airplane metaphor before. I love it and it strongly resonated. Good luck with your Aliya!!!

Moving to Israel (or really any new country as an immigrant) is tough - even when there is no war etc, you guys are either a bit crazy or super brave or both. Good luck in your journey! May it be a meaningful one!

What unique souls. So inspiring. Wishing you the best of luck. Israel will be lucky yo have you. Welcome home!

Thank you very much for all the Inspiration. I'm pretty sure you'll love to live in Israel (I live in Israel). You'll fit right in.

Haha the Na Na Nach kippa on Yosef is just adorable, You all will fit right in in Israel 🇮🇱

For the car!

❤ you dear family! God bless you!

Mazel tov on your journey! You are an inspiration. Your journey will certainly have challenges but it will be worth it. ❤✡️

Happy belated mother's day (and birthday to your son!). Best wishes in your transition and I pray that Israel is treating you well ❤

מרגש מאד לצפות בסרטונים שלכם !בתפילה וברכה שהכל יישאר לכם כלכך יפה וטהור פה בארץ הקודש 🩵🤍🩵 ואת קושרת את הכיסוי ראש כלכך מקצועי ויפה נשמח לסרטונים על קשירת מטפחות 🙃… שיהיה לכם יישוב טוב, בהצלחה רבה ובקלות.

Beautiful video. I agree; making Aliyah is a big thing. Every move, actually. But it seems that you are taking it with the right mindset. Keep the faith, and all will be well. Best of luck!

Thanks so much for uploading another beautiful video wishing you good luck on your moving beautiful family

We are in our final stages for Aliyah. Had our interview last week. Some challenges came up do to missing documents. Making Aliyah is always a challenge because one has to earn it. It’s a gift from HaShem to be able to make Aliyah. Kol Tov.

You guys are amazing 💗 Wishing you all the best always 🥰 You are an inspiration to everyone who has the privilege of following you!

Thank you so much. This really helped me. May Hashem bless you and your family 💙💙🩵🩵🇮🇱🇮🇱

וואוו אתם כל כך טהורים ומיוחדים ברוכים הבאים לארץ הקדושה🎉🎉🎉

Keep going higher. You are an inspiration!!

Your family is so beautiful! We love watching them grow! May Hashem yisborach watch over them always. You are such an inspiration. Keep going strong and of good courage. We love and admire you

Thank you for sharing and keeping it real. Sometimes it is hard to be joyful in some situations, but staying humbled is important for me personally. Learning to be trustful, confident and content with God’s power in my life has forced me to be grateful. Much love from Boston ❤.

Wow wow wow!!!!!!!! We we'll all be celebrating with you from all over the globe 🌎

Congratulations!

Thanks!

I am so happy for you guys. Thank you very much for this message today because I needed to hear it right now and I received it. Baruch HaShem ❤

Omg !, your son has a beautiful light in his eyes ! That pure beauty! All the best ! You guys are inspiring ❤

Absolutely amazing family❤

This popped up, and I was so happy to see something cheerful from Israel!! (Even tho my daughter lives in Emek and is very happy!) But a couple of things.... 1. LOL--You don't need to fly to another country to go to the dentist, lol! So funny!! I do get it was the last appt, tho! (Altho, where were you that you were 40 mins from Western???) There are plenty of great English speaking dentists in Israel! Happy to recommend ppl if you need any names! And many are originally from LA or go back and forth and work in both places, as many do. 2. I am not sure what the current rules are for Olim driving the vehicle of ISR citizens, but pls check it out!!! It's very kind of people to lend theirs out, but some don't know that they can't.... pls just check the current laws, with your insurance agent, or Nefesh B'Nefesh!! 3. You have not truly experienced the Aliyah of someone from abroad, new to Ulpan, until you are in the SuperSol, trying to figure out which floor cleaner to purchase or whatever, and suddenly you just become totally overwhelmed and lose it, and become a puddle of tears in the Super! Regardless of who is sees, what others think of you or what you are doing, you just start bawling! I am sure it is better with the invention of all of the translation apps, from photos, etc, but it's not the same...... anyways, it is TOTALLY NORMAL!! It has happened to EVERYONE!! Think of it as a rite of passage! 4. Lastly, your son's leining sounds great!! Much nachat! And I hope I am not too late, but just FYI, a few tips....many people will generally organize with their photographer to meet at the shul the week prior with the BM boy and family all dressed up, and they open the aron/bring the sifrei Torah out, and the photographer will take pics of his Abba looking over the BM boy's shoulder as he is pretending to lein up on the Bima. Typically done right after shacharit one morning so they still have their tallesim on, etc. But generally take tefillin off for the photos (don't wrap too hard that AM or they will leave marks for an hour, lol!). When you call the shul to arrange for the shamash to be there when you need, and possibly the Rav to be present for a few pics, ask them what they recommend. And ask your Rav what the minhagim typically are (although you can start you own new ones, remember!!). And of course, ask your photographer! And if you're wrapping tefillin for the first time and to make the bracha at the kotel, then of course you want your photographer to be there as well! I still enjoy all those pics when I look back at them! Even tho I know the "Bar Mitzvah" pics were all "staged"! Some in Israel do it the same way we do in LA, or NY, Miami, etc., and I am sure many don't. Israel is always much more laid back. It depends a lot on one's guests too. AND ..... if I am "too late", remember as it is all "staged", and these ideas are new, you can still do it after! If you want it at at all that is (I am a planner, which is why I am so focused on the details, lol!). But either way, he sounds great!! KK, anyways, be safe, keep well, and pls let me know if you do do need any referrals or even ideas or more tips. Happy to help!

You are an amazing couple. May Hashem continue to bless you. From NY

Beautiful to see you praying Mincha! Proud Jews! Waiting to see your vlog coming to Israel, I hope you can celebrate next independance day here with everyone in Israel! 🇮🇱

Love you guys!!!

Waiting for you in our eretz hakodesh ! Sure Alyah is a challenge, our land is acquired with efforts but definitely worth it !

What a sweet and handsome young son! it’s a joy to watch your videos; a break from all the stressful videos that I’ve been watching about everything going on in Israel and Gaza. ♥️🇮🇱♥️

What a beautiful family inside and out!

After you get here, you can redo your son's bar mitzvah at the kotel on a Monday or Thursday. It's really beautiful.

Love you all❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤congratulations I’m sure you’re all loving Israel- say hello to yom tov glazer. You will definitely find a connection with him and his family

Welcome Welcome Welcome to the Israel your home land ❤️❤️❤️ Wish you only the best and all the blessing 🙏🏻✨🦋🙂

Your videos make my day, The House of Lev is so precious and Blessed in Hashem's Love, Light and Promise- Thank you for sharing your world and lifting us all heavenward 🙏🙏🙏🏿🙏🏿💗💗

You guys are a true inspiration! I struggle with bitachon sometimes and hearing you guys really helps me! Thanks so much for your content and may Hashem continue to bless you and your family through your journey ❤️❤️

Beautiful family!! Keep strong! Lots of Hatzlocha

I love your family❤

[I asked this on vlog #1 but maybe you didn’t see it. All G, I am early this time 😊] 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 [correct me if I am mistaken] ? 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. Such a beautiful family and Chava your outfit is stunning. Wishing you all many blessings.

Beautiful ❤️ Will be joining you guys soon!!!!!

What a beautiful family thank gd

Mom is very beautiful. Good luck and peace

He is doing so well BH. Just amazing family! Ahm Israel chai💕

A M A Z I N G ✨️ ❤️ 💜 💙 💗 ✨️

Mazel Tov! To the most amazing family in the world, only Nachas from your beautiful family!

Happy birthday!

Happy Mother’s Day!! ❤ Glad you enjoyed your day.

Wow❤❤ goosebumps. So so beautiful

OMG these kids are just so cute! ❣️

Another beautiful video from House of LEV, thank you! Look into it though, I've heard it can actually be worthwhile to import a car from the USA to Israel - taxes are 117% on a car (you get to take off the 17% as an oleh, but it's still 100% duties), but I think shipping a "2nd hand" car doesn't incur that - even with shipping expenses I've heard it can be cheaper. Also not sure what car you'd want, but some models aren't available here, especially bigger mini-van style cars are limited availability.

You're a wonderful family ❤❤❤ love our Jewish people ❤️✡️🇮🇱 AM ISRAEL CHAI 🙏🏽

You are so inspiring !! Keep shining your light !! Thank you for sharing your life with us !! May you have much nachat !! All the best and much hatzlocha !

Another great vlog! Thank you!

Mazel tov to your dear son ,i just love your videos we live in Jerusalem, i just love that hasem is focused on Israel all the time its just fantastic to live in a jewish country maybe we will meet one day ,we are davening for you all and hope you will soon be home in Israel keep well koll tov

Beautiful Israel beautiful family ❤

Love the vids! Keep it up 👌❤

Love you guys. Best to keep hands out of pockets davening mincha!

May you continue to be elevated and elevate others along the way.

Think about Bet Shemesh. There are a lot of Americans here, it's got a wide spectrum of religious Jews, and it is stunningly beautiful. And there is good transportation to places like Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Because there are a lot of Americans, English is spoken everywhere, and you can easily blend in with the other Americans. There are a number of shuls here that are predominantly English speaking people.

Hang in there! Car problems should be your worst tsuris. 😅

You can also rent a car. Best of luck to you and your wonderful family.

I love your beautiful family ❤

My son just had his bar mitzvah. If he reads in shul on the Thursday before, you can film it. That's what we did. MAZAL TOV

Shalom Family I bless Hashem that you are well and that you all made home safely. I don't know the type of car you have but it might be worth checking the transmission cable. It runs from the transmission underneath the car to the shifter. Over the years it can become worn if that happens the transmission will not shift correctly . Easy fix and way cheaper. Shalom

I feel so peaceful watching you. You are the most authentic, sincere people. Love you!! 💙💙💙 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 🇮🇱

Welcome home ❤❤❤❤❤❤

ברוכים הבאים, בהצלחה אהובים❤❤

❤ good luck 👍

Shkoiach! So beautiful what you said around minute 16:08 of the video, about aliyah! 💙🇮🇱💙 Mazal Tov for your son's Bar Mitzvah! in Eretz Israel you will find out that it's not a Jewish practice to use candles on birthday cakes. We light candles, don't blow out the candles... there are those who does anyway... your children will have many friends and will see what they do. Also you will enjoy Tu BeAv , the day of love, usually a day for friends and families love, not only for romance - this is our day of everyone - as everyday is mother's day, father's day, etc, differently from this mother's day in diaspora. Shkoiach! 🙂💙🇮🇱

B/H about your son's upcoming Bar Mitzvah! Your emunah what beautiful souls you have what faith!

What a gorgeous brave strong glorious family! You sure didn't choose small undertakings! If you had just chosen to venture off your born path to study, Dayenu! It would have been enough! But you chose study, for your ENTIRE family, including the older ones! Mind blowing! Then you embraced conversion! Again, for your ENTIRE FAMILY! 🤯 Again! AND becoming new strangers in the land of Israe!! In a time of conflict where the world stands against the Jewish state! You are very special people! Menches, all of you! I kvell witnessing all your splendor!

hello beautiful family

Very proud of your son. Torah reading is not easy.

Usually the bar mitzvah boy has his last lesson in the shull from the sefer tora so he feels comfortable. U can film him then if u want to. ( that's what I did with my sons 😉) he is doing a great job👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Adorable good luck
