What struck me most about their conversation was Mayim explaining Jewish ideas to Howard \u2013 like <em>mikvah<\/em> and modesty \u2013 publicizing these <em>mitzvos<\/em> to millions of his listeners. Howard challenged Mayim, wanting to know why she covers up so much \u2013 unlike most actresses in Hollywood \u2013 and Mayim explained that her body belongs to her, not Hollywood. Apparently, Howard was so struck by this idea that the next morning when he started his show he referenced it.<\/p>\n<p>Howard Stern didn\u2019t cross my mind again until a couple months ago, when I stumbled upon a poet whose work is featured in the LA Jewish Journal. A line in one of her poems jumped out at me \u201cWhy in the\u2028 world why in the heavens\u2028 when God says find a mate, \u2028Adam never stops to say,\u00a0You, God. Us.\u2028\u201d It was so profound, I wanted to hear more. So I started clicking through to read more of her work and as I read, I got to an article which explained who her dad was. I was fascinated! Howard Stern\u2019s daughter became an Orthodox Jew?! I reached out to her, we had a wonderful coffee meeting and told her I\u2019d love to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nachumsegal.com\/jm-in-the-am\/jew-city-speaks-allison-josephs\/\">share<\/a> her story and her art with the world.<\/p>\n<p>Emily grew up Reform and \u201creally did love it.\u201d She sang in the choir, was close with the cantor, and always felt a connection\u00a0with Judasim. But the ritual element was always missing. In her search to find a community that resonated with her, she stumbled upon Orthodoxy. She started out in the theater community majoring in theater at NYU, then at the age of 23, she randomly walked into a <em>havdalah<\/em> ceremony, hosted by the organization Romemu, in a yoga studio one Saturday evening. She had never seen a ritual that related to the world in such a grounded way. After that night in the yoga studio she found two ways of expressing her soul in the world authentically: by relating to matter through halacha, and infusing Judaism into her art. Inspired by the language of Torah, and wanting her writing to speak the same language, Emily joined an art fellowship at Drisha Institue (a seminary for Jewish education on the Upper West Side) and wrote a play there. While at Drisha she was lead to study at Nishmat, which is a center for advanced Torah study for women, in Israel.<\/p>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"http:\/\/jewinthecity.com\/2015\/06\/howard-sterns-daughter-became-orthodox-the-wells-of-miriam\/#ixzz3cmF6TFWQ\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jew in the City has the full story: Like most people on planet earth, I\u2019ve known who Howard Stern is for years, though, I\u2019ve never really listened to his show or watched more than an occasional clip of \u201cAmerica\u2019s Got Talent.\u201d Then my friend Mayim Bialik was interviewed on his radio show last year and,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":730,"featured_media":40219,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cloudinary_featured_overwrite":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[85],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-40218","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-inspiration"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.9 -
