Whether you're shidduch dating or married, a young girl trying to eat a sweet or a woman trying to fit into a dress, the community constantly examines you to make sure it fits into their idea of what a female body should look like. Has it always been like this? More importantly, what's the alternative? How can the Jewish community support the development of strong, confident, and intuitive girls and women today? Filmed at the William Breman Jewish Heritage and Holocaust Museum in Atlanta, Georgia in cooperation with the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta. Sara, Founder of Fit Jewess, is a fitness coach with the mission of connecting Jewish women worldwide and fostering a community united through fitness.

Sara takes a body positive, weight-neutral approach to health and this is apparent in her training style. She encourages her clients to see exercise as a way to become empowered and feel more confident by increasing energy, gaining strength and discovering how amazingly capable their bodies are.

Beny discusses what few are willing to talk about: porn and the addiction to it. Beny grew up in a world very different than the world we live in today. Viewing porn required a lot more of an effort than it does today. Nevertheless, at the ripe old age of 11, Beny was introduced to pornography by a childhood friend. Over the next several years, additional experiences with sex and porn left Beny with a template of sexuality that is very different than the one he hopes to give to his own children. Eventually, Beny developed an addiction to porn that nearly consumed his life but luckily, he asked for help and was introduced to a world of healing and understanding that has brought Beny many unexpected gifts and blessings. In this talk, Beny shares these with us. Be prepared for a conversation around sex and pornography that is very different from what we’ve become accustomed to. ———— Follow Beny on Instagram: https://instagram.com/benyschon Subscribe to our MicDrop channel for more great stories.
