it doesn't have to be expensive
To Anonymous in Toronto:

you don't need a mixer to make challah, you can just buy a fish loaf, and sometimes our chicken soup does double duty for the main meal. Pick and choose. Most people, unless they're having a lot of guests, don't cook as much as Mrs. Winner does here. It's a video so she was probably trying to be inclusive. I always learned that food on Shabbos is automatically better anyway.

Although the presentation is extremely nice and inviting, however, most people can't afford the the fancy kitchen equipment, the expensive silver ware, the cost of the food even. Perhaps a video showing the simpler presentaion with more on the meaning of Shabbos would reach out to more people.

Some people like myself feel sad that they can't have he kind of Shabbos that you presented.

Shabbos
Dear Rebbetzin Esther,
I have reciently discovered my great-grandparents and grandmother were Jewish. Perhaps this is the reason I have felt a strong affinity/love for the Jewish people for as long as I can remember.

I wanted to thank you for your beautiful presentation of the tradition of Shabbos as well as the wonderful recepies.

I'm not sure you intended to reach-out to a lost soul however, you have awakened in me a greater desire to draw close to G-d and His ways.

Shabbos
Dear Rebbetzin Esther,

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It is very informative and enjoyable to watch.

I learned a lot, and now more fully understand just how holy G-d's sabbath is meant to be for His people.
