The House of Yael

I’m Yael. I’m rebuilding my life through Torah wisdom, early mornings, and a lot of honesty — and I’m bringing you with me.

  • Shabbat Does Not Cancel Because I Have a Flight

    I have to travel to Denver this week. Not a vacation. Work. And with travel landing smack in the middle of my week — scheduled by everyone except me — I have a conflict. A conflict with Shabbat. I land late Friday night. Well after candle lighting. Which means that by the time I get…

  • Acharei Kedoshim — The “After” I’m Learning to Live In | Becoming Yael | House of Yael

    Acharei Mot begins with “after.” After the intensity. After the chaos. After things that shake the system. It doesn’t pretend life is always calm or orderly — it meets you right after the moment where you’re trying to find your footing again. Boy, do I feel this every day — the “after.” After the divorce……

  • What We Let In, What We Send Out  | Torah Alive | House of Yael

    I’ve noticed something about myself lately, and if I’m being honest, I don’t love it. When I see the comments—the ones about Jews, the ones that are so blatantly wrong, so hateful, so disconnected from reality—I feel it immediately. That pull to respond. To defend. To correct. To say something back that makes it clear:…

  • Breaking the Cycle: What Mesillat Yesharim and Pirkei Avot Taught Me This Week  l Mind, Body & Soul | House of Yael

    These past few months and weeks have been… a lot. Between work stress, family drama, Pesach prep, and that whole war-plus-rising-Jew-hate reality we’re all trying to stand upright inside, it’s been heavy. The sleepless nights, the emotional eating, the skipped workouts — even on the best days, one quick scroll through the news is enough…

  • A Jewish Eye on the Morning | Monday, March 17

    Three stories this morning that every Jew and every freedom loving person needs to see clearly. Iran’s women’s soccer team members who defected are facing brutal treatment — a chilling reminder of what this regime does to its own people, especially women who dare to step out of line. This is the same regime launching…

  • Are We Actually Free? What Jewish Identity Really Means in 2026

    Jewish Identity | House of Yael What does it mean to be a free Jew in 2026? It should mean walking down the street with your Star of David visible. Keeping kosher without apology. Walking into synagogue on Shabbat morning without scanning for threats. Being openly, visibly, unapologetically Jewish in every space you occupy. That…

  • Next Year in Jerusalem — And Why Every Jew Needs to Understand What That Actually Means

    Torah Alive | House of Yael Every year at the end of the Pesach seder, Jews around the world say the same four words: “Next year in Jerusalem.” It is not a suggestion. It is not a metaphor. It is not a political statement invented in the 20th century. It is in the Haggadah. It…

Welcome to The House of Yael

House of Yael is the place I built because I couldn’t find what I needed anywhere else — a real, honest, Torah-grounded space for Jewish women who are trying to live with more intention, more faith, and more strength. Not a news ticker. Not a lecture. Just one Jewish woman documenting the journey of building a life that actually looks like what she believes — and inviting you to do the same.

This is for the woman who wants to go deeper in her faith, take better care of her body, navigate a complicated world with Jewish eyes, and build something that lasts.

You are in the right place.
