blossom russo is frumming out

a few weeks ago in the jewish week there was an article that outed mayim bialik of the early 90's blossom fame . it stated that mayim bialik is a shomer shabbos jew. after much googling i also found that she only wears skirts and has made stipulations that she prefers skirts and dresses and does not wear sleeveless in acting roles. very interesting. if i would ever have pegged any actress as being likely to be frum later in life it would have been mayim bialik. but maybe it was her tv character that i thought would one day be frum. blossom was such an independent thinker.
i found mayim bialik's facebook fan page so i know that the the frum thing isnt a hoax.
many jews feel a connection to celebrities who are even just jewish. i never thought that there would be a day when there would be an orthodox jewish celebrity . i guess mashiach really is on the way.

Wow. Huge news, I grew up on that nonsense. I mean, she was dressed tzanua on the show, but everybody in the early 90's dressed like that!

On the otherhand though, she kind of "grew up" to be a very Jewish balabusta looking sort of woman, so...it's probably more natural to her than Jews like...Scarlet Johanson!

Cool stuff. I never heard of her until today lol, but I Googled her and came across this really nice article that she wrote. http://www.jewishweddingnetwork.com/mayim-bialik-student-of-the-water. I enjoyed reading about the transformation that she went through coming from a secular background and understanding the mikveh the way we do/should.
