Do all your daughters attend the same school and sons, the same cheder/yeshiva? |
My elementary school daughters are all in the same school, my younger goes to a separate preschool. My boys used to be in the same cheder, the older one is now in mesivta so they're not together anymore.
What is your favorite part of Chanukah?

I played dreidel with my kids, sang and played piano, make latkes, and later went to a bar mitzvah!
Do you see your children's upbringing/childhood as the same or different than your own? How so?

I would just make sure the child is in no danger to himself (because he is crying or screaming, he shouldn't fall down the steps, shouldn't bang his head on the floor). every few minutes just ask him if I can help. Basically to let him cry it out.
As we are getting closer to Pesach, do you ever say ''I should have had this room cleaned already''? (dealing with rooms that you know have no Chametz like the Garage, or laundry room)

No. I start cleaning for Pesach after Purim.
(Various "sorting and organizing" projects around the house I do when I can, and do not consider them related to Pesach.)
If you have had a parent pass away, do you find that the yahrzeits get easier with time?

This is a loaded question. Certain things get easier. My father zl' is gone quite a few years. In the beginning was really hard. Now it's a Yahrzeit to go to the kever , speak about our Dad and Zeidy. My Mom is gone just a bit and it just feels so hard and sad. I assume when it becomes a few more years the ache might be less. For now, it's there.
Do you have any close friends that you have a monthly outing with for pleasure?

Firstly: dear Rachelli66, welcome aboard Imagames. We're so glad that you joined us.  Happy playing.
You wrote in another game that your dear mother was niftar recently. I wanted to reach out to you there, but it was quite a few posts later when I joined the game and noticed it.
So, you're probably in the year of aveilus now?
It pained me so much to read about your loss. I had tears in my eyes. I know how it feels when a parent is niftar. My dear father was niftar suddenly when I was 20. May your mother be a meilitzah yosher for your whole family. And may Hashem Give you the strength to bear the pain and ease it for you.
Tof Umachol: Re your Q about yahrzeits: Like Rachelli66 wisely said, in the beginning it's really hard, then it does get easier. I'm not fortunate to go the kever of my dear father, z"l, on his yahrzeit, since he is not buried in the country I live in. I'll just say this, it's a couple of decades since my father was niftar, it did get easier on the yahrzeits, and then suddenly the last 7-8 years the yahrzeits became very painful for me again. Perhaps you and Rachelli66 can pm me your wise advice why this happened? I'll appreciate it. TIA.
May we only have simchas to share, be"H.

Besides the Covid year, did you ever make the Seder at home with just your husband and children?

Yes we have been doing it for years. Our children are now adults so now we have along with our marrieds, the grandchildren.
Have you ever felt a need to travel to certain Countries mainly for teaching your
children about the Jewish history that was there?

I have been trying to listen to speakers teach about Megillas Rus. (Through Torah Anytime).
A couple years ago we had Rabbi Lazer Broide teach and it was amazing. These are Megillos I never really learned in school. (Rabbi Broide has his own Wednesday Night podcast).
Of course a No Bake Cheesecake makes Torah Learning for the family a special treat.
Speaking of Torah Anytime, if you listen (or not) who is a speaker you really enjoy listening to?

Rav David Ashear, shli"ta - daily emunah. Each word of his is a pearl of wisdom. Hs shiurim have made a big impact on my view of life. B"H.
Do you prefer to go to your parents for Shabbos/Yom Tov when some of your other married siblings are also staying there, or when no other sibs. are there, so you, your family can get all the attention?

I am at the stage of life were my parents\in-laws come to me, it's to much to go to them.
Do you find Shavous easier because it's only 1-2 days then Peasch and Sukkous?
