World Premiere of My DH’s Movie about My Life Story (10-Minute Personal Video)
My husband made a movie about my life this past summer as part of his popular Stories of Israel project. In this video, I talk about my childhood in a liberal Jewish family in Baltimore, a life-changing encounter with devout Muslim women in Indonesia, my rocky transition to Orthodoxy and then motherhood which spurred my deep yearning to inspire other Jewish moms.
I love this video, I feel like it’s an elevator pitch for my life. It’s succeeded in explaining my life to me…and has helped me gain clarity on this nagging feeling I have that I am…different. Out of the Orthobox.
Love it!!! I have tears in my eyes, this was very special 🙂 Thank you for sharing!

Dear Jenny,
I first met you in real life when I was a college sophomore, far away from being a Jewish mom. Since then you’ve inspired me so much along my journey, but this blew me away “Don’t you miss G-d?” is something I hope to remember every day!
wow! thank you. I remember when you came to us when you were in college.
