That piece eventually led to a follow-up on Bridgerton and what it mirrors about Orthodox sexual education. https://t.co/Y9jtktA67l

All the Bridgerton buzz this week sent me back to an earlier piece I wrote for @MomentMagazine on the show’s surprising overlap with the Orthodox dating scene. https://t.co/uWzc5ykxni

MUST WATCH:

“The children were crying and begged please turn off the Menorah, our home is going to become a target of hate.”

Sorella, who runs a Chabad center in Sydney with her husband and family, shared a deeply moving moment with @SharriMarkson on @SkyNewsAust following the Sydney Chanukah terror attack. What happened next, sparked by a neighbor’s response, turned fear into courage, and the Menorah lights back on, and inspiring millions to light a Menorah.
