Hi!
If you came to my blog, you obviously want to learn more about Hasidic Judaism. First, about me. My (pen) name is Rebecca and I’m a 40 yr old Hasidic, married woman and mother of two wonderful children, one with slight special needs. I live somewhere in Europe. I’d like to stay anonymous as this gives me slightly more freedom to write what I want.
What you will find here: I will tell you about our traditions, about why we do certain things and snippets of my daily life which I hope will be of interest to you.
My mission is to show you that we’re all humans after all, underneath all the customs and dress, we all want one thing. Acceptance, love, and respect.
I’ll be doing my tiny part in spreading this around.
I have been published in several places online among them Ozy.com, Ravishly, The Huffington Post, Scarymommy and yahoo! Style. Find all my published pieces here.

Hi Rebecca,
I read your post over on Mamapedia and truly enjoyed your story. As a Christian woman, I have always been inspired and intrigued by Jewish history and the faith of the Jewish people. I look forward to reading your blogs and wish blessings upon your family. God bless!

Good luck with your son. I coached special Olympics and also standard sports. Coaching special I was surprised that a young man came up to me and said, thank you for coming, we appreciate your help. Interestingly, no one in so-called normal sports took the time to thank me and make me feel good.
That’s beautiful, thanks for sharing!
Just ran across your new web page. Really like the look and the organization. I’ve found your insights to be very helpful. It takes courage to be so personal.
Visiting your blog for the first time Rebecca, and it’s always good to learn something new. Your blog seems interesting as you have decided to introduce your way of life to the rest of the world. Would be happy to know more and catch up with your posts.
