She discontinued her acting career and began performing "kosher comedy" to women-only audiences after becoming a baalas teshuva (embracing Orthodox Judaism) in the early 2000s.[2] In 2003 she moved to Jerusalem.[3] She performs both in Israel and internationally.[2] BiographyBorn Ayelet Ben Hur,[5][3] she grew up in a secular Jewish family in Long Island, New York.[4] After high school, she moved to Los Angeles to audition for roles in TV and film. Among her acting credits are an HBO series, a Lifetime TV movie, and a bit part in the 2003 film The Hebrew Hammer.[4][3][3] She also performed stand-up routines on Comedy Central and at the New York Comedy Club and The Improv.[5] Her career took a 180-degree turn when she began attending Torah classes at the Los Angeles branch of Aish HaTorah, an Orthodox Jewish outreach organization. As she embraced a Torah-observant lifestyle, she quit acting and began performing what she calls "kosher comedy" – stand-up routines that are devoid of off-color humor, vulgar references, cursing, and personal attacks, but that instead focus on the humor in daily life.[6][4][7] She also stopped performing in front of men, but plays to female audiences exclusively.[6][4] {{Quote box|width=300px |align=right |quoted=true |bgcolor |salign=right |quote=Welcome to Glatt Kosher Airlines.
