Network star and entrepreneur Cindy Chady gave followers a glimpse into her growing religious observance and said one of her biggest dreams is to build a family with a God-fearing husband. In an Instagram Q&A held on Saturday night, she told more than 160,000 followers that she wants “to make God happy, make my family happy, work on my character, help others and become a better person every day.” She also said she hopes to marry a God-fearing man and raise “righteous children.”
Chady has been publicly describing a process of becoming more observant in recent years. According to the article, this includes keeping Shabbat, following kosher dietary laws, giving ma’aser, and dressing more modestly. In earlier interviews, she said she draws regular inspiration from lessons by Rabbi Yigal Cohen.
The Q&A also touched on how to deal with sadness or “bad thoughts.” Chady said the answer is to strengthen faith, adding, “Perfect faith is all we need. To know there is someone above you who cares, sees and directs everything.”
She then offered a practical coping method for difficult moments, telling a follower to clap and start dancing when sadness sets in, and to put on a Torah class in order to overcome it. She specifically recommended the short teaching series “Emuna be-Kitzur,” saying it helps strengthen the day.
