Corinne Gideon frequently updates her followers about her family life. She's married to Hili, a religious man with 14 siblings, and often shares about her special connection to Judaism. This time, while spending family time with her parents, she felt it was important to share her heartfelt reflections.
"I'm the youngest and even though it's hard to think about it, I've had the least time with my parents," she shares. "So I try to make the most of every minute. Mom and Dad visit every year, and each year I do everything I can to be there—sometimes with a baby, pregnant, or with a little girl and a baby at home. We all sleep together in a small house by the sea, wake up together in the morning, and go to sleep together at night. Conversations about life, the past, and the future, just like back in the day, when I lived with them over a decade ago."
"The years pass, and that time won't come back," she urges. "Spend as much time with your parents as you can, appreciate every minute with them. Tell them you love them. Family is what remains both at the beginning and the end. There's nothing more important than that."
Recently, Gideon wrote a post in support of the ultra-Orthodox community after they faced backlash in the streets. "Sometimes I feel like you don't hear enough about ultra-Orthodox families like mine, so I'll tell you myself," she wrote. "Hili has 14 brothers and sisters and they all work (and pay taxes, yes?). Their spouses work too—imagine that? Two of my brothers-in-law are in security forces, holding such high security clearances that I have no idea what they do. And they're ultra-Orthodox. Our family basically, and statistically speaking, represents the majority of this sector."
"I admit that it was convenient for me to hold certain views in the past. In the best case, you'd call them prejudices
in the worst case—racism," she continued. "I just wanted to remind everyone of the facts—of the difference between facts and prejudices. First and foremost, for my family."
