helping you make Torah the heart of your home
I have a couple things I’d like to share with you today. First, the praise! I am so very thankful to YHVH that I am finally feeling better. 🙂 It has been a long first trimester, but I have emerged, ready to tackle the world again. I even have my
Movie Review The 613 Commandments of Moses I was pleased to be given the opportunity to review this DVD set. There is great value in studying the Torah from many angles. So often, we focus on the weekly Torah portion, which is a wonderful way to get familiar with Torah,
My son Noah is very fond of his metal Tonka truck. He drives it around the yard and up and down the driveway everyday. I often park it in the ditch on the way back from the mailbox because its little driver got a bit tired. It was a very
We had a wonderful Sukkot this year! After several years, we felt like we finally ironed out all the kinks and could really enjoy our time. Doug was thoughtful enough to help us keep the meals very simple, so I could rest during the whole week. I basically moved from
Back in July, Doug requested nine days vacation for the fall feasts. A week before Trumpets, we were shocked to discover that he had only been approved for one day, Feast of Trumpets. We felt like our world had crumbled apart. We knew it was risky, but we politely asked
If you see your brother’s ox or his sheep wandering, do not go by without helping, but take them back to your brother. If their owner is not near, or if you are not certain who he is, then take the beast to your house and keep it till its
We had a wonderful time celebrating Yom Teruah! We visited, the kids had relay races, we feasted, and of course, there was lots of shofar blowing! We even tried to think of all the events in Scripture where a shofar was involved. How many can you come up with? While
It’s time to do some knitting. What do you think I will be making with this yarn? Take a guess! I’ll let you know how close you’re getting! UPDATE: Thank you for taking the time to guess! A couple people figured it out! I will be knitting a baby blanket
It’s finally here! ‘My First Torah’ goes live today! I’m super excited! We’ve had some obstacles along the way, like running out of paper and ink, and struggling with the affiliate program. But we have overcome, in true Israel fashion and we are ready to go. Tonight, we will be

This summer, spend a week with your kids having fun and learning more about Torah, reminiscent of vacation Bible school. This year’s theme is “My favorite farm animals.” The kids helped pick out a farm animal for each day, and everything for that day is loosely tied to the animal.
It’s Preparation Day once again! Soon we will get to enjoy another Shabbat! I thought it would be fun to share a bit about what we have planned and then give an opportunity for you to link up, too! Menu On Friday night, we always have burritos with homemade refried
Reprint from July 2012 We often think of Daniel as a man who had things right. He didn’t have any need for confession, right? Yet, that is exactly what we find him doing in Daniel chapter 9. Pray Daniel’s prayer And I set my face unto the Lord God,
You know those moments when you realize this is probably happening because YHVH is trying to teach me something? Well, that’s what’s been happening to us the past two weeks. Doug has not been able to work for almost two weeks, due to circumstances completely outside his control. It has
(Reprint from July 2012) Take the blame Who threw the kickball on the roof? “Not me!” “Not me!” “It was Noah!” “Guys, Noah can’t even walk yet!” Nobody wants to take the blame, if our children are any example. But last time I checked, none of us is perfect. Now,

(Reprint from July 2012) Be quiet We live in a very loud and busy world. Many people spend their whole lives going from here to there and never having a deeper thought than asking what’s for dinner. The silence is scary. We want to enjoy the ripples on top of
Herbs are a wonderful gift from our Creator. As we season our food, we are also improving our health! Herbs at the grocery store or health food store can be expensive, so if there are plants you can grow and preserve yourself, all the better. I have found a very
