"My childhood as a Hasidic boy was hard” | Izzy Posen

Video Description

*UPDATE:* After we filmed this segment, as I was about to share it, Izzy's young mother passed away in a tragic car accident. I am so heartbroken for Izzy and his terrible loss. He has been writing on his twitter and his website about his grief for his mother and he shared a few words about her in this updated version. She was such a loving and wonderful woman.
