My doctor at that point runs in and she looks at me and she's like, okay, I'm not taking out your uterus yet.

We're going to try one more thing.

At that point, I'm just lying there like, I don't care, do whatever you have to do because I'm just thinking of my three children.

I'm thinking like, I'm only 25 years old.

Like, you know, I need to live and so I sat there in that moment

and I was like I knew I needed to like to you know do something big in general I do feel like

a very close connection with Hashem and I felt like right away when I'm in this crisis, I was, that's like the only

thing you turn to or, you know, you have to just turn straight to Hashem and I said, okay, I'm going to

stop wearing my wigs. Would you give up something so important to you if it was for Hashem?

Ellie found herself having a once in a lifetime experience, talking to God when her life was literally on the line, and her decision might shock you. I am honored to co-host this episode with my wife, Gita. This week's sponsor is Will Salis, BF Design, kosher.com, and the 49 Gates book. This episode is in loving memory of Miriam Sara Bhass Yaakov-Mosha, and Shem and David Binyakov Shlema. Here we go. I am here with my favorite co-host ever, my wife, Gita, and we have Ellie from L.A. Yeah. Uh, Kita, could you start it all for us? Sure. Okay. So, Ellie, can you give us a little bit about your background?

Sure. So I grew up in Hollywood, Florida, regular, like, mainstream,

um, went to all the regular basic schools there, Base Yaakov, went on to seminary.

Um, I got married to my husband, right, like a few months after I got back from my year in Israel, and we now live in Los Angeles. Which seminary did you go to? I went to Michala. Same. Oh, nice. Okay, cool. Yeah, I actually went Shan-Aulf and Shanabat. Same. Oh, nice. Right when I came home, like a few months after, which is like Barha Shah, I met my husband.

And then he was from LA.

So after we got married, it was like, we moved to LA, actually specifically the valley.

And yeah, my husband is just from, you know, regular Ashkenaz family.

But I was, I'm coming from like a Svarty background.

So marrying into that now, I became like Ashkenaz, obviously.

And yeah, so.

Could you get, like, did your family wear Shaitdals?

Yes, yeah.

My family wore Shaitdels.
