Childhood & Early Life

During the early years of Emily’s life, neither Howard nor Alison was an adherent follower of Judaism but Emily has always been deeply religious. Even when she was young, she would fast for Yom Kippur and participate in family Passover Seders. Howard, on one occasion, even stated that he disliked wearing yarmulkes and quipped that Emily’s bat mitzvah’s theme ought to be “I hate Jews.”

Childhood & Early Life

Despite all their differences, Emily and her father have always had one thing in common: they both practice Transcendental Meditation. Emily got her mantra at the age of ten. During his appearance on Jerry Seinfeld’s ‘Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee’, Howard stated that “Everyone in my life meditates; I don’t think I could really live without it.”

Childhood & Early Life

Emily had the typical upbringing of a child of a celebrity. Her father repeatedly told her and her sisters that everybody was watching them. While he had maintained that the warnings were for the girls’ own protection, Emily came to view it as narcissism.

Childhood & Early Life

Emily Beth Stern graduated with a degree in theatre from the New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. However, she did not immediately find success in her professional life and has lamented not getting her family’s guidance on the subject. They had never discussed it while she was growing up, which ended up doing her a disservice.

Career

In 2005, she landed the role of Madonna in an off-off-Broadway production of ‘Kabbalah’. Highly excited to be cast in the production, she agreed to dye her hair black and go completely nude. However, problems started when the play got mediocre reviews. Emily later stated that the low ticket sales compelled the director, Tuvia Tenenbom, to make use of her status as the daughter of a celebrity. She alleged that an unauthorised video of her being nearly nude was put out to promote the play. In response, Tenenbom rejected the allegations. Emily left the production after six weeks with the help of her father’s lawyers, accusing Tenenbom of manipulating her love for the show for his personal gain.

Career

In the mid-2000s, she embraced Orthodox Judaism, letting go of her previously very active Friday nights in favour of 20-person Shabbat dinners in an uptown apartment. She has also become a Torah scholar, studying the scriptures at the Drisha Institute.

Career

Emily was supposed to hold a photo exhibition on November 18, 2015, at the Hadas Gallery in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. Named the ‘Wells of Miriam’, the exhibition would have concentrated on the water-retention landscape in Portugal. Emily compared it to the mikveh, a bath used for immersion in Judaism to attain ritual purity. However, she cancelled the exhibition after an interview she gave to the New York Post was published on 8 November. It portrayed her father in a negative light and caused family turmoil. The exhibition was ultimately held at The Jewish Museum of New Jersey from May 1 to June 3, 2016. In the same interview, Emily mentioned that she rarely went on dates due to her father’s emphasis on sexuality in his own professional life.
