Living Lchaim
Batyah's journey to Orthodox Judaism is a compelling narrative of faith and resilience. From a fulfilling life in the Philippines steeped in Christianity, her world turned upside down when her pastor renounced his teachings. Despite the upheaval, she remained convinced of God's existence and embarked on a spiritual quest, leading her to Judaism. Her search involved significant sacrifices, including leaving her family and career to start afresh in Israel as a cleaning lady. Embracing her new faith, Batyah converted, married into a traditionally Orthodox community, and has since become a Jewish influencer in the United States. Her story highlights profound themes of transformation, identity, and religious conviction.
