Chumi Borenstein

Chumi Borenstein, is a young married woman with a beautiful little son. She loves expressing herself through writing, cooking, baking and being a Jewish mom. Her passion and her dream is to be a kallah teacher because, Chumi believes that there is so much about marriage that is not taught and not said and she feels like it must be relayed. Coming from a very small community, Chumi is used to saying what she thinks and not having much acknowledgement in anyway, so if she offends anyone in anyway, she gets to just blame it on the upbringing 😉
