There are many stories of Filipino caregivers who have converted to Judaism: One employer I spoke to in the city of Rehovot nicknamed the Filipino who worked for her the Rebbetzin, because of her strict adherence to Jewish law.

As its leader, Rebbetzin Jungreis addressed large audiences around the United States and abroad and, beginning in 1982, broadcast a weekly half-hour Torah program, “Hineni,” on National Jewish Television.

After moving to Long Island, the couple founded both the North Woodmere Jewish Center and Congregation Ohr Torah in 1963, and Rebbetzin Jungreis began developing her speaking style by lecturing to Jewish groups and presiding over Torah lunches.

In 1989, Rebbetzin Jungreis opened the Hineni Heritage Center on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, where it houses a multimedia museum and offers Torah classes, singles events and religious services on High Holy Days.
