Cholent and Chadors: A chassidic woman's experiences in a multi-cultural workplace

Miriam Schweitzer is a chassidic woman living in
Antwerp, Belgium. Despite suffering from M.S., she
lives an active, busy life.
For several years, Miriam worked at “Het Lieve
Schatje,” a multi-cultural daycare center in Antwerp.
Although it was challenging at first to work with
women of various religious and ethnic backgrounds
very different to her own, Miriam came to love her
job. However, due to circumstances beyond her
control, she was eventually forced to leave.
Miriam’s upbeat attitude, enhanced by her strong faith
in Hashem, has helped her navigate life’s challenges.
This is her story.
