Mazal Tov to Chana Ximena and Avishai!
I’m sure some of you still remember my interview with JewishMom.com’s incredible Social Media Coordinator Chana Ximena Orozco, “From Soap Opera Star to Orthodox Jew https://jewishmom.com/2021/06/23/from-soap-opera-star-to-orthodox-jew/?fbclid=IwAR1ixXa-HM7G4gCoxTyBTmUo9D-KMAQOpLaonFVAytpjts5g4_ZHgqnlk_g&mibextid=Zxz2cZTo refresh your memory, Chana Ximena was a wildly popular Mexican soap-opera star who moved to Israel and converted to Judaism 2 years ago.
I met (then just) Ximena 3 years ago because she was working her way through seminary cleaning houses–including mine! It took a few months for me to discover that the person washing my floors had hundreds of thousands of social media followers ( (240,000 on You Tube, and 115,000 on Instagram!!!) and that her talents would be better put to use helping me inspire Jewish Moms than cleaning my house!
B”H, last year Chana Ximena married her wonderful husband, Avishai Abutbul, from Ashkelon, and this winter they had their first child, Benayahu Shlomo.
Mazal tov!! May they merit to raise him to Torah, Chuppah, and Maasim Tovim!.
