Growing up as a South Asian-American, I didn't have any female role models.

Every person is different and unique. I am a female. I'm Indian. I'm 4'11"". People should never be defined by what they look like and sort of these demographical parts about them, but the most important thing is the work you do, so females are just as capable as doing that as males, and the same thing with any other person out there.

Sometimes females feel like they should act like men, but they should really just be themselves.

It's about knowing yourself and what you're good at. Females, males - anyone can be anything they want to be.

In Israel, there is no civil marriage. All elements of religious life - from the kosher certification of food to conversion to marriages and burials - are controlled by the rabbinate. In Israel, then, the official religion is not just Judaism. It's Orthodoxy.

My dad was never married. He was kind of a rolling stone. But he was never disrespectful. At the same time, even though he had women in his life when I was a kid, there wasn't any consistency.
