Our ORTHODOX JEWISH WEDDING | Sephardi Jewish Wedding l Orthodox Jewish Mom (Jar of Fireflies)

I’d love to hear what you think! Was there anything that surprised you?

The way he looks at you! Like his entire world is in your eyes.

You’ve become a very intimate part of my morning. Just you and me and several thousand of your YouTube family. My husband passed away 11 years ago past August, so sharing your family with me means a lot especially when I’m feeling alone. Please know you’re so much more than entertainment, you’re a joyful bundle of goodness.

I love you and your family! I am a 77 year old grandma from Oklahoma, USA. I most usually watch you on my TV. You have a beautiful smile and such pretty eyes! No wonder your husband fell for you! And he is also sooo handsome! 😊 May God continue to bless your lovely family!

Chana, you were a beautiful bride. You're so correct, your mother-in-law is amazing! I love the outtakes at the end of your videos, they're so funny! Thank you for sharing your beautiful day with us!

You looked so beautiful. Your husbands’ happiness shows in his eyes. I was awestuck by seeing what your mother-in-law made from the 10 yr old used halter topped wedding gown. She is a very talented Renaissance Woman - your gown is the most beautiful modest style gown i have ever seen. There are several religions that prefer modest gowns and they could use yours as a gorgeous design. I also noticed your mil’s dress ( at least i think that was her feeding you wine) that aqua gown was also stunning. When my family (10 siblings) have had weddings its very similar in everyone contributing-“ many hands make light work” (and delicious food) So glad you shared such a joyous occasion with us.

Your MIL did a fabulous job on your dress, it is absolutely beautiful as were you and your husband.....you still are.......loved hearing the different traditions for your wedding. Sounds wonderfully exhausting! All in a good way. Thank you for sharing. Cheers from Canada....

This was so lovely! My partner is Ashkenazi and I am converting through the Conservative movement, but am half-Syrian so when we do get married I want to incorporate some Sephardi and Mizrahi traditions into our ceremony and reception. I loved seeing the kaftan your MIL sewed!

How amazing that your Mother-in-law recreated your wedding dress and she did a beautiful job!

What a lovely bride! And I can't help but notice ten years after your wedding day, you are still glowing with love, it's all over your face and in your happy eyes! So very nice to see! <3

This is one of the most beautiful, sacred marriage union celebrations I've ever seen! Just radiates such JOY! TY for uploading this.

10 October 2023 Tuesday . I am praying for you and your Husband and Family . And everyone .🙏💗💙 Thinking about you and your Family . ❤

I have always loved wedding dresses with long sleeves! And yes to small weddings, marriages and funerals are huge events here in Ireland with hundreds of people typically attending but I find them overwhelming as an introvert.

You were such a beautiful bride! This was one of my all time favorite videos you have done! Loved every minute of it!💖💝

Chana, this video made me so emotional. It was the happiness on your faces and the sense of community which reminded me of home. I’m from India but live elsewhere now. Back in the old days, weddings used to be like this where the entire community would come together to help celebrate the occasion. Also, it is so interesting to see similarities in different traditions. Such as the henna ceremony, it is such an Indian thing as many Hindu communities (not all) do that as well. The tradition of the bride circling 7 times that you mentioned sounds so much like how Hindus do 7 circles (both bride and groom) around the fire to pledge their allegiance to each other. And not to mention your MIL sewing skills, I could not tell that the dress you wore was a halter neck!! Thank you for this beautiful video Chana and I hope you keep smiling and spreading joy always. 🙃☺️

What a lovely bride you were! Many brides today do not see the simply beauty in a modest wedding dress. My son was married in the Phillipeans to a wonderful girl there. My daughter in law honored my request for a modest wedding dress. Needless to say I believe (as my son does) she is worth more than rubies!

I think it’s amazing how close knit Jewish families are and how your in laws did all the catering and your MIL made your dress modest and made the other lovely outfit (don’t know how to spell it 😂) I think people could learn a lot from your way of life! It’s so true when people say it takes a village I would feel so blessed to be able to raise my kids in such a tight knit community full of like minded people, hopefully one day🙏🏼❤️

Such beautiful memories! Everyone looks just so happy. You were glowing and your husband looked at you like you were so precious to him.

I got really emotional listening to your wedding story. ❤ You are a special soul.

My three year old son watched this video with me, and when he saw the first picture of you with your veil he said, "She's an ice princess!" Then he saw a picture of you and your husband and said, "Oh.... they are getting married. Are they getting married?" So cute!! Absolutely beautiful photos. It is so fun to look back on a wedding day. ❤ My husband and I are celebrating 16 years this November. I will have to pull out my wedding photos. 😊
