frum it up

Not the update I was hoping to share… 💔

My computer suddenly stopped working—and with it, I lost 40 hours of work on my next video that was supposed to go up today.

On top of that, my external drives also seem to be corrupted, so I’ve lost additional footage and work as well.

I’m not going to lie, this one really hurt.
So much time, effort, and heart went into it.

So with this, I’m forced to take some time to reset, figure things out, and see if my computer needs to be replaced… and come back stronger, G.od willing 🤍

In moments like this, my first instinct is always to turn to G.od.
I’ll be praying—and also baking challah and doing hafrashat challah, a very special prayer.

If you would like for me to pray for you or someone you feel needs a prayer,
please leave me your or their first name and the name of their mother, and I will gladly include them.

In the meantime, please know how much I appreciate you.
I pray G.od showers you with love , success, joy, health and closeness to Him

I’ll be back very soon ✨ G.od willing
Sending you so much love 🤍

Hello my friend,

How are you?

I wanted to take a moment in my very very busy day before Passover and wish you a Chag Sameach : happy Passover, if you celebrate it. May your celebration be filled with love, peace, and closeness to G.od B’Simcha

If you celebrate Easter, I wish you a wonderful and meaningful celebration filled love, peace and closeness to G.od

Thank you for being here.
My heart is filled with true and deep joy to know we are back together as a family our Frum it up family

Always remember , I’m praying for you and your family, that G.od blesses you with everything you need: health, joy, prosperity, peace and closeness to the King of kings.

With all my love,

Your Sara Malka

Hello my friend,
How are you today? 🤍
I wanted to stop by and thank you for being here—whether you were with me for the premiere of my Clean With Me video two weeks ago, whether you watched it afterwards, or whether you were with me today for the premiere.

It truly means so much to me that you are here with me, spending this time together.

Today I shared a very personal video about the differences between Ashkenazi and Sephardic Passover traditions, and I would love to hear what you think, and if you have any special Passover or easter traditions, to share them with me.

I cannot wait to read you in the comments 💬


May G.od bless you and protect you.

Hello my sweet friend!
How are you?
I am feeling much better, thank G.od, and to celebrate this I am so happy to let you know that Today at noon ( daylight saving time/ NY time) I’m sharing my complete home reset after shabbat AND something very personal as the past year brought many life transitions, challenges, and moments of growth.

That’s part of why I was away for a while. But thank G.od, by His grace, I’m so grateful to be back here with you.

In this video I’m tackling many rooms of our Orthodox Sephardic home as well as something I’ve never shared on my channel before — something I honestly felt a little ashamed of. But I realized that if sharing it can help even one person feel less alone, then it’s worth it.

And along the way, something truly unexpected happened… a moment that felt almost like a small miracle to me.

Because sometimes the spaces we avoid the most are the ones that teach us the biggest lessons.

Maybe also a reminder that it’s never too late to begin again.

See you at the premiere G.od willing! 💙
I cannot wait to hear from you :)

❤️❤️Hello my sweet friend ❤️❤️

How are you ?

I pray with all my heart you are doing FANTASTIC and your summer months have been amazing so far and will only get better 🌸

For us, as the saying goes, we planned and G.od laughed!

I had all the intentions in the world to come back on YouTube in July but G.od had other plans.

Many unforeseen events crossed our path during the last few months : some amazing ( weddings, birth,…) and some challenging : thank G.od for both.
We are gradually coming back to some degree of normalcy in our life and routines and we are so grateful to G.od for that.

Being now in the 3 weeks of mourning in our Jewish calendar it is not an opportune time to publish a new video but G.od willing I will be back by the beginning of September G.od willing ( I pray to G.od with all my heart He will approve that plan!)

Know that I pray for you every day and I am so grateful you are in my life.

I miss you so much and cannot wait to see you soon .

❤️ I miss you ❤️❤️

How are you my sweet friend ?

I have missed you so much!

I have to start by apologizing to you: i am very very sorry I didn’t talk to you in the past few weeks: life has been a bit crazy!

Work has been absolutely Bonkers ( more changes in the teams / more juniors and a very high rate of quitting ( no surprise there!) and since after Passover, right after work I have been tutoring full time our daughter for her big government exam next Sunday so as you can imagine my time to do anything else beside work, children, home, tutoring has been inexistent!!

I hope to be back online as soon as possible to spend more time with you : hopefully by the beginning of July G.od willing!

Until then I pray to G.od to give you everything you need : love , joy, prosperity and above all health

Wishing you all a chag sameach or Happy Shavuot

With all my heart

Your Sara malka

❤️❤️Hello my friend❤️❤️

I hope you are doing AMAZING !

As Orthodox Jews we have a long standing custom to bake key shaped challah ( also called shlissel challah by our Hasidic and Ashkenazi sisters ) for the 1st Shabbat after Pesach or Passover as this period is an opportune time to pray to G.od to give us the “key” for success in all realms of life whether financial , health, finding a soulmate, recovery ❤️‍🩹 ,….

To honour this wonderful tradition I will go LIVE this Friday May 3rd at 1PM EST to share with you some of my favourite key shaped challah designs.
It will be a wonderful time to connect together BzH
You can also ask me all the questions you want about challah, about being an orthodox Sephardic Jewish woman and anything and everything in between!
I hope to see you then

HERE IS THE LINK TO JOIN TOMORROW

Hello my friend
I missed you so much!
I hope you are doing FANTASTIC! BzH/ G.od willing

I am finally landing in my feet after 3 weeks of our life being put in “tornado 🌪️ mode” !!!
Between one of my colleagues being now on sick leave at work, being a reduced staff and consequently all of us had to pitch in to cover, cleaning and cooking for Passover as well as many other challenges thrown in the mix let’s just say it has been hectic thank G.od but throughout all these events I am so grateful to G.od everyone was well BH and we are now entering a much more peaceful period of our life being blessed to enter the Jewish Holiday of Pesach/ Passover BH

I wanted to take this very auspicious time to wish you my friend a Chag kasher v’sameach aka a Happy Passover
May this period of miracles and Salvation accompany you and your family now and for all Eternity
May G.od bless you and your family with love, serenity, success ,closeness to Him and Health

Never forget you are part of my miracles I experience everyday just by you being you

Sending you many virtual hugs and heartfelt prayers
