Jessica and Lenny’s story is one of resilience, faith, and the beauty of divine timing. Jessica grew up moving around the world as the daughter of a US military family, eventually becoming more observant. Lenny grew up in Philadelphia in a secular Russian family and found his way to Judaism through friendships, trips to Israel, and years of learning in yeshiva.
Both navigated challenges in dating as baalei teshuva until, against all odds, they were matched by artificial intelligence!
From transatlantic Zoom dates to a whirlwind engagement after only a week in person, their journey shows how Hashem orchestrates every detail, sometimes in the most surprising ways.
Their story is a powerful reminder of hope, growth, and the miracles hidden in everyday life.
