As we already know, Loren Brovarnik takes her Jewish heritage seriously and even traveled to Israel for Birthright trips, where she ultimately met her husband, Alexei Brovarnik. However, before she went to Israel in her 20s, she admittedly did not know much about her religion's history. "I thought, why would I go there? I'm not going to ride a camel! It was so ignorant of me," she said at a virtual event called Disability Reality Check (via The Times of Israel). 

Through that enriching and life-changing journey and also, of course, from marrying Alexei, Loren, who did not grow up religious, has become more involved in her faith. "Now I'm so pro-Israel and pro-Judaism," she said. "Not that I wasn't before, but Alex and I are much more traditional. We do Shabbat, we say the prayers, we light candles ... "

In fact, when the pair married, they had two ceremonies — one in the U.S. in 2015 and then another in Israel in 2016. And when it came time to name their son, they gave him a religious-inspired moniker. His name, Shai, as Loren explained on Instagram, means "gift" in Hebrew. And now, as Alexei told Birthright Israel Foundation, the couple speaks Hebrew at home, enjoys Israeli TV, and even frequents Israeli markets and restaurants. And as evidenced from their time on "90 Day Foody Call," they even cook Israeli dishes for dinner!
