Yael Shelbia Career
Shortly before her 16th birthday, she started posting selfies she snapped herself on Instagram. She later received an invitation to take images from professional photographer Marina Moskowitz after her photos were discovered on her Instagram account. Her Orthodox upbringing has drawn further media attention since she keeps Kosher and observes Shabbat, which has sparked debate in her Orthodox Jewish religious community. Shelbia joined the Israel Defense Forces, the Israeli military, in April 2020. Currently, she is a member of the Israeli Air Force.
Her modeling sparked outrage at her Ulpana, which vowed to file a letter to the Israeli Education Ministry threatening to remove her. Her family, on the other hand, had backed her work as long as it didn’t interfere with her religious studies. She was allowed to continue her education after consulting with Israel’s Religious Education Ministry, but only if she followed specific criteria. Combining a modeling career with a religious lifestyle, on the other hand, has created challenges, particularly in terms of wardrobe modesty. She had to survive on crackers for four days during a modeling stint in Milan because she couldn’t find kosher food. She claims she has lost several modeling contracts as a result of her Sabbath observance and dress choices.
Shlomit Malka, Dorit Revelis, and Sofia Mechetner have all been compared to her because of her rapid career success in Europe and Israel. Shelbia joined the Israeli Air Force of the Israel Defense Forces in 2020, rather than serving as a civilian in the Sherut Leumi. Most devout Jewish females in Israel choose the latter option. She modelled for Kim Kardashian’s KKW Beauty line in 2018, and Kim Kardashian chose her images. Shelbia was named the face of Kylie Jenner’s Biotic Skincare line in 2019. She was cast in her first acting role in a television series on the Israeli Palmach troops the same year.
