Such an honor to be a part of this docuseries on @bbcnews about how religion is booming on @tiktok and @instagram 🙏🏻 You can watch the video here or check it out on bbc.com.

I feel incredibly proud to be a representative of Judaism on social media! There are so many amazing Jewish creators sharing just me and we are building a community of proud Jews teaching the world about our beautiful ethnicity and religion.

Happy Night 8 of Chanukah!
.
Tonight is the last night we light and I’m so happy I got to be here with my family after my Orlando weekend 😍
.
Fun Fact: Jewish days actually begin at night (we use the Hebrew calendar for holidays and Shabbos, mostly, and the Gregorian calendar for weekday life) so tonight is the last night of Chanukah but the holiday doesn’t actually end until tomorrow night!

What an incredible way to end the leadership train

What an incredible way to end the leadership training weekend in Orlando…Epcot without children! And happy 7th night of Chanukah 🕎
.
I learned so much this weekend and I really have a renewed passion for moving my business forward. Admittedly, for a little while I’ve been maintaining my health and maintaining my business, and I realized it’s time to get back into growth mode. For me, growth mode means starting my mornings with intention and gratefulness, focusing on being more conscious of drama and gossip, pushing myself wayyyyy out of my comfort zone to do hard things, and help a lot more people who are seeking growth as well.
.
I took home so many nuggets that I can share with you on my morning dog walks and I’m definitely ready to help more people reach your physical and mental health goals! And my goodness do I want to help so many people live a bigger life!
.
PS. I reached 50K followers on Instagram and I am beyond excited and grateful!! It means so much to me that you’re here, that you comment, that you ❤️ my pics and videos, that you send me private messages and share your stories with me. Thank you for being here and definitely share me with your friends! Let’s keep this growth going!!!

Happy 5th of Chanukah! Celebrating with some drinks at the hotel bar in Orlando 🥂

A full day of leadership training and I’m definitely ready to crash…the tequila also helped with that 😘
.
What’s your favorite drink?

Happy 4th night of Chanukah!
.
I’m spending the weekend in Orlando at an Optavia training event so Justin will be lighting on my behalf. I brought a travel menorah with me but the logistics to light are a bit complicated in the hotel (not really feeling the whole light in the hotel room situation).
.
This Chanukah hat says OY OY OY but when the camera flips it around, it says YO YO YO 😂 Which do you prefer?

Happy 3rd day of Chanukah!!!
.
Okay, I’ve got one more latke recipe before I head to Orlando for a work trip. Maybe you still have some Thanksgiving leftovers??? Make them into a latke!
.
I don’t have an actual recipe for this because I just mashed it all together but I combined raw shredded potatoes, leftover stuffing, an egg, and Trader Joe’s everything but the leftover seasoning in a bowl. I fried them in oil and served with leftover cranberry sauce.
.
Yes, you can add turkey and mashed potatoes! Zach ate these latkes for dinner with turkey and gravy.
.
The perfect Thanksgivikkah recipe! My favorite holiday 😍

It’s been a beautiful Thanksgiving weekend with Justin’s family and we ended off right with the first night of Chanukah lighting 🕎
.
I’m definitely ready to have my house back 🙈 but I’m grateful to be part of a family that love each other so much! Were there some arguments about politics? Maybe 😂 But everyone is so gracious, always offering to help, to do dishes, to take the kids out, to feed the dog table scraps. The house is going to be verrry quiet when they all leave tomorrow.
.
Happy 1st night of Chanukah! Or Hanukkah! Or however you spell it 😘
