She married Wharton grad Yosef Hendler - in an arranged union - at age 19, moving with him to Atlanta, Ga., before returning to Monsey. Haart herself attended the Beth Jacob Jerusalem girls seminary, described as a “Harvard of Jerusalem” and one of the top seminaries in the world, after high school.

“Far from being fundamentalists, we have all been brought up in a very open Orthodox type of life: We watched TV and movies, we traveled, - and we were all educated.”įeinsod, now a principal at the global accounting firm of Ernst & Young, recalled how Haart wanted to fit into the community even more: “Julia wanted a more Jewish name and she changed it to Talia when she was in high school.
