One thing Julie told me is she just asked her kids to learn and understand the laws before deciding not to follow them and I respect that. I can discuss the three main laws of orthodox judaism, which are the laws or shabbos, keeping kosher, and taharat hamishpacha (family purity) in another video. And no, we don’t disown our children if they don’t follow the laws the way we do #haircovering #jewishtiktok #orthodoxjewishlife #momlife
Replying to @silverfrost9 Going on a cruise can be such a mystery!! Sometimes I think about how we get on a floating city for a week in the middle of the ocean and just trust the process 🤣 One tip if you get a cabin with a balcony…don’t look out at the ocean at night. Its so dark, endless, and creepy #cruisetok #cruisetiktok #cruiselife #vacationmode #jewishtiktok
Replying to @orange.blush this answer is for those who take birth control. In many communities, Orthodox jewish married women won’t use birth control unless they must for their health. In my community and many other orthodox communities, birth control is widely accepted #jewishtiktok #modernorthodox #orthodoxjewishlife #birthcontrol #jewtok
Hamantaschen are buttery cookies shaped like a triangle and my favorite classic filling is apricot. My favorite out of the box flavors are samoa inspired, strawberry rosé, bagel lox and cream cheese, jalapeno popper, and the salted chocolate chip tahini. Which ones should I make into videos??? #hamantaschen #purim #jewishtiktok #jewishholiday #jewishfood
YES, I will be attempting to make my own cocoa from this. The first step is to ferment the pods with the slimy fruit on it (dont try to take the bean out) for around 5 days. I am absolutely making a separate video of the whole process! #cacaopod #cacaofruit #tastetest #tubishvat #jewishtiktok #koshertiktok
Replying to @ashleigh_el in the hospital, we don’t just stop keeping Shabbos. That means I wouldn’t just watch TV on Shabbos, turn on and off lights, etc. Breaking a law to save your life doesn’t mean Shabbos is done. It doesn’t have to be so black and white #shabbos #jewishtiktok #orthodoxjewishlife #jewtok #jewishlife #jewishlaw
Replying to @aprilove143 there are also people who don’t heat up food on Shabbos day (Saturday lunch) and choose cold/room temperature foods instead. So they’ll pick foods that taste good at room temp, like a deli platter and chicken schnitzel, salads, hummus and othet dips, and also make a cholent before Shabbos, which is a jewish stew that cooks in a crockpot overnight #jewishfood #shabbosfood #shabboscooking #orthodoxjewishlife #jewishtiktok
Replying to @danielle_dawn_41 we don’t need to sit in the dark and freeze on Shabbos, I promise. We can set up the house before Shabbos with all the things we need and then just leave it alone during the 25 hours of Shabbos. Not take a shot every time I say Shabbos 😘 #shabbos #babyitscoldoutside #orthodoxjewishlife #jewishtiktok
Replying to @cantbeleft_unsupervised if someone wants to warm a baby bottle on Shabbos, they can use the hot water from the urn. Some jewish homes even set up more than 1 urn so they never run out of water. We’ve done that when we have guests staying over for Shabbos #hotwaterheater #shabbosmode #jewishtiktok #orthodoxjewishlife #sabbathkeepers
