Julia Hart from the successful docu-series "My Life: Actually", catches fire following her presentation of New York Orthodox society in an extreme way • "The way this society is portrayed is destructive and dangerous"


A movie has not yet been written about Julia Hart, but it's probably only a matter of time before the person who stars in Netflix's talked about and successful series "My Unorthodox life" will also become a star on the big screen and add another impressive title to her unconventional resume. Of her life.

From living in a closed and conservative ultra-Orthodox community to a life of happiness, luxury and haute couture, Hart is the woman of the moment everyone is talking about - and there are those who are not afraid to express their dissatisfaction out loud and in public.

Josephs' interview on TMZ

Alison Josephs, the founder of the Jew in the City organization, which aims to shatter stigmas about Judaism in general and the ultra-Orthodox community in particular, recently expressed her anger in an interview with the gossip site TMZ where she came out against Hart and did not spare harsh criticism.

Josephs claims that the story presented in the series is sinful to the truth and that it is not really the story of Hart's own life, but an adaptation that she adapted to her measurements.

She added that Hart includes the ultra-Orthodox community from which she comes and portrays her as a fundamentalist and extremist, precisely at a time when hate crimes and anti-Semitism against Jews have reached new dangerous heights: "The way the Orthodox community is portrayed in movies and series is destructive and dangerous." "I believe she actually experienced things and went through a process that left her hurt," she continued, "but that's not her story. This is not the life she experienced when she was part of the Hassidic community.

"There are issues in the Hassidic community that need to be addressed and there is no denying it, but talking about it over and over and presenting everything only in a negative way is not true. I believe she is a person who hurts and I really have compassion for her, but I do not think the Orthodox community should be blamed "That makes her hurt. I'm tired of the superficial presentation of Hassidic Jews in the media. It's not authentic. They always throw the same costume on them, and present them in a ridiculous way."

Hart, 50, was born in Russia and moved with her family to the United States when she was 3, first to Texas and then to Monsey, New York, home to a large ultra-Orthodox community. She married at age 19 and had four children, , Even to the point of suicidal thoughts, she revealed in interviews.

At the age of 42, she decided to leave her ultra-Orthodox lifestyle and returned to the question.

Although she had no official training in design, she launched a luxury shoe brand named after her, and a few years later already served as the prestigious creative director of the Italian lingerie and swimwear brand La Perla.

Back to the question.

Today she is considered one of the most powerful women in the fashion world, and leads a glittering and showy lifestyle when she does not hide her views about her previous life and the world she came from, which led to a wave of criticism and anger towards her, which intensified even more.
