How We Met | Orthodox Jewish Dating and Engagement | Orthodox Jewish Mom (Jar of Fireflies)
Update: our wedding pictures and wedding story are now posted! Here is a link: • Our ORTHODOX JEWISH WE... Enjoy!
I’m off in nature this week but I wanted to be sure you got a video! So today I’m telling you the story of how I met my husband and how we got engaged. I’ve been asked this question often, so today you get the full story! I talk about orthodox Jewish dating, and how I met my husband plus how we got engaged as an Orthodox Jewish couple.
Hello and welcome! My name is Chana, I’m married to my best friend, and we have three wonderful children together. We also happen to be Orthodox Jews and we homeschool our kids. This video is a sneak peek into our daily lives :) You can see how this particular Jewish homeschool mom sets up her days, rolls with the punches, and gets it all done. Thanks for watching!

Just rip the bandage off😂😂😂 “ I don’t want to date her I want to marry her”. LOVE IT❤
I love the part of the video where you show just three sets of little sneakered feet. You are so blessed Channah. And now, today, you have added another precious firefly.
What a sweet story! Your future husband knew a good thing when he saw one, lol! My future husband did the same thing - he asked me to marry him on the first date, too. We've been married for 38 years this coming Friday. May you two have a long and joyous life together! ✌

I'm a Catholic, but am familiar with some of your practices. I had 2 Jewish roommates in college. Going grocery shopping was interesting, because we had to make sure that things were kosher or parked, so I got used to reading labels. It was very educational.

This is such a great story. So inspiring. When you said he flew out with a ring in his pocket I immediately said...."I love it! A man with a plan in alignment with G-d!" Thanks for sharing. I actually was curious about this after watching your conversion story. I'm also in Texas! So cool 🔅.

I'm in east Texas! I agree the pines out here are so majestic! I enjoy your content. interested in how a Jewish community evolves and how the interaction between Gentiles is handled( if at all)
You are the only other person who converted for the exact same reasons as I converted. I wanted to convert as a child and my father told me if, as a young adult I wanted to convert, he’d help me anyway he could, my dad died when I was 17 but I still wanted to convert so I did it alone. Of course my rabbi turned me away twice but he knew I meant it. I’m still Jewish even though my husband is catholic. It’s in my soul…I cannot change my soul. Thank you for your videos because I truly cherish them. I’ve just begun to go through them and I’m a bit teary-eyed because I do cherish them. Never lose sight of your bliss...
I love your “how we met” story.

Such a beautiful story of how you met. You know when you know as they say! You were clearly meant for each other. I’d love to see some wedding photos. I met my husband and I knew within an hour of meeting him that he was the man I wanted to spend the rest of my my life with. We’ve been together for 19 years and have been married for 16 years. Your camping trip looked awesome! ❤️❤️❤️

Chana, I discovered your channel a few weeks ago because it popped up on KZread. So glad it did. Boruch Hashem!! I have been frum all of my life although I did grow up modern orthodox and in my teens I decided to become more frum so I definitely went on my own journey and today we live in Lakewood, NJ. I have really been enjoying your videos. I was watching this video while eating breakfast this morning and I thought it was fantastic!! Couldn’t believe that your husband proposed on your first date!!! That’s amazing!!! I met my husband the traditional way with a shadchan. No cool story there but the work that my husband and I have put into our marriage over 21 years and the growth that we’ve experienced is certainly cool- Boruch Hashem!!! Anyway thanks for your videos and sharing your life with us.
