Offline, Tzivia Myers is redefining what tradition means for a Hungarian Orthodox Jewish woman. Online, she is breaking down stereotypes by offering glimpses into her kosher life.
00:00Religious, yet modern at the same time. This is Zivia Myers, an orthodox Jewish woman who lives in a small town near the Hungarian capital, Budapest.
00:15Myers is a Rebetzin, which means that her husband is a rabbi. The couple has two daughters, and together they run a Jewish community center, an art gallery, and a cafe.
00:25It's clear from Myers' clothes that she leads a religious life. She dresses modestly, according to the principles of Snyus, covering her elbows and collarbones, and wearing skirts that fall below the knee.

00:57Snyus is a fordőruha, which is here, and this is a leggings, which can be attached to her fordőruha, so that she doesn't come out, because it is dangerous and not Snyus.
01:10According to Zivia Myers, there are a lot of misconceptions about orthodox Jewish women, most of which come from movies and TV shows.
01:19That's why she started posting videos on social media. In these videos, Myers dispels a few myths, namely that orthodox Jewish women are bald beneath their wigs,
01:30and explains that married orthodox Jewish women cover their natural hair, because hair becomes sacred after marriage.

03:16Is there a family? Where are they?
03:18Where are they?
03:19Online, however, hate speech is common.

03:32which helps people to encourage themselves.
