For more than thirty years Julia Haart, 50, lived life as an ultra-Orthodox Jew in the Haredi community. She finally left at the age of 42, going on to become creative director at La Perla. She is now a successful businesswoman.
Here she tells her story... “I always divide my life into two parts. I say that my life until I walked out the door is what was done to me, my life afterwards is what I’ve accomplished.
My parents [Lina and Alan] became really religious when I was nine. First it was kosher, then it was don’t wear pants [trousers], then it was you can’t do dance trials, cheerleading trials. It just happened so gradually.
And by the time you are there, you are just convinced that it’s what God wants, so who am I to argue against God. We moved to New York when I was 11. From then until I was 42, the only part of my body that was uncovered were my hands and my face.
I wore stockings with socks on top of them, God forbid the stocking would rip and a piece of skin would come through. My hair was covered in a wig. In my teenage years I was living like in Bridgerton in the 1800s with a lot less fancy clothing - and a lot less fun! The idea is that women are supposed to be wives, mothers, look after their children.
You don’t have dances, dates or a prom. From 11 until I got married at 19, I didn’t even shake a man’s hand. You can’t be alone together.
Going out is sitting in a crowded place to talk about your purpose, your beliefs, what are you going to be like as a wife. I got married to Yosef [Hendler] at 19. He was 24.
I hadn’t had sex before my wedding night. Luckily for me I had illicitly read Barbara Cartland. I was very naughty.
