Why This Site Was Made for You

Chai, in Hebrew = “life.” Chai on Life is for the Jewish woman who is passionate about living her life with meaning. In today’s world, most people are searching for something that adds focus and purpose to being. As observant Jewish women, we get those values from the Torah and the lifestyle that comes with it.

Sometimes, though, in the day-to-day we need a little reminder about how special that gift is. We need to see women who are living a beautiful Jewish life that’s also real and complex and not only learn from them and become inspired by their greatness, but also see ourselves in them and feel like we can achieve the goals we have too.

We also need support. Judaism is meant to be built and centered around community. We need others to lean on, to give us advice, to lend us encouragement and to make a connection with. Knowing we’re not alone in our struggles is imperative to overcoming them.

We also need fun. We need to laugh, to give to ourselves as we give to others and to engage in what we love. This site is meant to be a place to slow down, to recognize your own greatness and to get the resources you need to enhance your Jewish journey. There are so many wonderful things about this life, so let’s soak ’em up.
