Here’s a little about why I share about my life as an Orthodox Jew online.

Come with me to visit @tourocollegeofdentalmedicine. It is one of 35 schools that makes up Touro University, and the largest university under Jewish auspices. Touro University takes great pride in balancing religious traditions with secular education and their cutting edge programs. I was also impressed with their honor code, that instills ethics and morals along with outstanding academic achievements. @wearetouro #touropartner #dentalschool #college #education

Are Orthodox Jews allowed to shave their body hair? #shave #jewish #headwraptutorial #tichel

Here’s a recap of our Succot holiday. #succot #recap #family #holidays #jewish

September was a fun filled month. Kids went back to school, we celebrated Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Succot. We had so much fun filled family time. #family #holiday #girls #girlmom

As Orthodox Jews we dress modest even while swimming. These are our modest bathing suits. #swimming #waterpark #bathingsuit

Day in my life as an Orthodox Jew. We are celebrating the holiday of Succot and all 5 of my daughters are home from school. #dayinmylife #jewish #momlife #succot

Preparing for Succot, the next Jewish holiday. #succot #succos #jewish #holiday #lulav

While shabbos and Yom Tov (Jewish holidays) are similar in what we are and are now allowed to do, there are some differences. #holidays #yomtov #cooking #shabbos #shabbat

Come shopping 🛍️ with me in the Hasidic community of Borough Park. The Jewish holiday of Succot is coming up and we need to get a Lulav and Esrog. #shopping #husbandwife #boroughpark #lulav #esrog

Why do we say Havdalah and the meaning behind each item used. #havdalah #candle #blessings #jewish

Yom Kippur just ended, and there’s one more thing we have to do before breaking the fast. Havdalah! #havdalah #yomkippur #jewish

All the food we made before Yom Kippur fast. #meal #food #yomkippur

Tonight starts Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement. It is considered the holiest day and we spend the day praying to G-d to forgive us or any wrongdoing and seal in the book of life. #yomkippur #jewish #dayofatonement #cooking

Why do we say ‘Aman’ and what does it mean. What is so funny to me is after I recorded this video and played it back, I realized that I didn’t include the pronunciation of how my family says ‘Aman’ which is more of a Yiddish dialect. We pronounce it as uh-MAIN. #aman #amen #prayer #education #religion

What is the average age most Orthodox Jewish couples get married? This ‘average’ age might also change from community to community. #marriage #jewish #bride #agegap

Why do Jewish women cover their eye when the say a blessing over the shabbos candles? #candles #shabbos #blessings #jewish

Come get ready for Rosh Hashanah with me. Rosh Hashanah is the celebration of the Jewish New Year. Let me tell you about it as I cook. #roshhashanah #newyear #jewish #holiday #cooking

It’s almost Rosh Hashanah, let’s go ask my 5 daughters some ways we celebrate. #roshhashanah #newyear #jewish #holiday

Come with our family to Costco and see what items they have for Rosh Hashanah #costco #roshhashanah #jewish #kosher
