Inbal Bibi Takes Another Step Toward Religious Observance

Yesterday, Bibi shared another post in which she appeared wearing a head covering. She also revealed that she had made a major decision regarding her career, telling her followers, “Today is my last day at the job that required me to desecrate Shabbat.”

In recent weeks, Bibi has been openly sharing her journey toward a more observant Jewish lifestyle. However, her decision to begin covering her hair marked a particularly significant step. She emphasized that she is taking her spiritual journey seriously and is committed to making meaningful changes in her life.

During a question-and-answer session with her followers, Bibi explained her decision to leave her job, writing, “The job required me to work on Shabbat. I resigned, so that I would be able to keep it.”

A Personal Turning Point and a Jewish Wedding in Jerusalem

In a recent interview, Bibi also opened up about her experience with post-traumatic stress and the personal turning point that led her to strengthen her religious observance. “I realized that either I bring the whole world to a stop, or I stop living,” she shared, describing a period that prompted her to reevaluate her life.

About two months ago, Bibi married in a Jewish wedding ceremony held at an archaeological site in Jerusalem. The celebration reflected her growing connection to Jewish tradition, with the reception area designed around the theme of the giving of the Tablets of the Covenant at Mount Sinai. Rabbi Eliyahu Asulin officiated at the chuppah, the traditional Jewish wedding canopy.
