Abby Stein Biography

Abby Stein is one of the most popular and richest Journalist who was born on October 1, 1991 in New York City, United States. Stein was born in 1991 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, in New York City. She is the 6th child in a family of 13 born to a family of notable Hasidic leaders. She has five elder sisters. Her family is of Polish, Ukrainian/Romanian, Serbian, and Israeli descent, with modern Ukraine being the predominant origin. She grew up speaking Yiddish and Hebrew and was educated at a traditional all boys Jewish Day School. The community in which she grew up was highly segregated by gender, which impacts almost all aspects of daily life. She attended the Viznitz Yeshiva in Kiamesha Lake, Upstate New York for her high school education, also receiving ordination as a rabbi there in 2011. In 2012 she left the Hasidic community (often referred to in Jewish communities as going “off the derech”), and in 2014 she started school at Columbia University’s School of General Studies.

When Stein left her community in 2012 and came out as an atheist, her parents said that “No matter what happens, no matter how you are, you are still my child.” However, when she came out as trans, her father told her that “You should know that this means I might not be able to talk to you ever again.” Since then her parents shunned her, and stopped talking with her altogether. She has also received some hate from her former community, though in an interview with Chasing News (a Fox News Short film company) she said that she got less hate than some people would have expected.

In December 2015 Stein founded a support group for trans people from Orthodox backgrounds. The group’s first meeting had 12 people attending, most of them fellow Hassids struggling with their gender identity. Stein’s avid blogging also gained her a big following in the Jewish community, and she has become a role model for former ultra-Orthodox Jews – both LGBTQ and not.

In November 2015 Stein made headlines when she came out on her blog as transgender, and started physical transition. She was featured in some major media outlets, including The New York Times, New York Post, New York Magazine, NBC, Daily Dot, and more. She also appeared on TV, on CNN, Fox News, HuffPost Live, and Vice Canada. She also appeared on several international TV networks, and in numerous international newspapers and magazine in over 20 different languages.

Stein is also the first woman, and the first openly transgender woman, to have been ordained by an Orthodox institution, having received her rabbinical degree in 2011, before coming out as transgender. She has not worked as a rabbi since at least 2016.

In 2010 Stein married a woman, Fraidy Horowitz, with whom she also had her son, Duvid. The marriage was an arranged marriage by a matchmaker, and the couple only met for 15 minutes prior to the engagement. As Stein left the community, she divorced her wife. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal right after her divorce she said that “They had a good relationship,” and that at the time of the divorce she was able to “obtain a ‘normal agreement,’ including weekly visits, joint custody, split holidays, joint decision-making on major life events and every second weekend with her son.”
