[5] [6] She previously owned a namesake shoe collection, and was creative director at the Italian luxury house La Perla.

[7] Haart is the subject and executive producer of the Netflix miniseries My Unorthodox Life, which described her 2013 decision to leave her Haredi community.

[9][10] Initially, Haart attended the Adolph Schreiber Hebrew Academy of Rockland, a Modern Orthodox day school in New City, New York.

In the seventh grade, Haart transferred to Yeshiva of Spring Valley, a Bais Yaakov school in Monsey, New York.

In the Haredi girls' schools, the primary focus had been on teaching religious observance, as well as on preparing to be godly wives and mothers.

[1] Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, Haart worked as a Judaic Studies teacher at Yeshiva Atlanta; "staff who knew her at the time – when she went by the name Talia Hendler – recalled that she was beloved by students and known for her sharp style".

[10] The money from these secret sales provided for her the means with which to leave the Haredi community, and to establish a new life for herself in the secular world.

[16] At La Perla, Haart created the first stretch Leavers lace, and launched a collection of ready-to-wear lingerie with built-in support.

[22] The collection received a lot of positive media attention,[23] and was celebrated for its "innovation, inclusivity, and inspiring message of empowerment".

[26] Julia Haart is a prominent advocate for women's rights, democracy, and social justice, using her public platform to highlight the challenges faced by marginalized communities worldwide.

Haart partnered with actor Liev Schreiber in organizing charity events that successfully raised over one million hryvnias to support Ukrainian children affected by the war.

[28] These funds were used to provide critical resources, including medical supplies and educational support for children displaced by the conflict.

In 2024, she launched Ahm Nation, a website to support social media advocates, helping them combat rising online antisemitism and providing resources for fighting hate speech.

[32][33] In one 2024 rally, Haart spoke about her personal experiences as a Jewish woman and expressed her pride in her heritage, stating that she has “never been prouder to be a Jew”.

During these protests, Haart spoke about the systematic oppression faced by women in Iran, including restrictions on dress, education, and freedom of speech.

[36] Haart, along with Kate Rigg, Heidi Sieck, Nicole Ansari, Shaunna Thomas, Marlene McCarty, Antoinette Cooper, Miriam Haart, BETTY, A'shanti F. Gholar, and Jen Aks organized cultural and art events such as the Paint2Power public art-making initiative, which raised awareness about the plight of Iranian women through creative expression.

On August 4, 2022, Vice Chancellor Morgan T. Zurn of the Delaware Chancery Court issued a ruling that although Julia owns 49.99% of the company, Silvio Scaglia is the controlling shareholder.

In February 2023, Julia Haart filed a fraud lawsuit against Silvio Scaglia, Paolo Barbieri, Jeffrey Feinman, and the accounting firm, DDK & Company.

Haart alleged that Scaglia and his co-conspirators misrepresented her ownership in the company, and induced her to continue working as CEO of EWG without a salary or contract.

The court found that Haart’s reliance on Scaglia’s statements about owning 50% of Freedom Holding Inc. (FHI) was reasonable due to their fiduciary relationship as family members and co-owners.

Claims of fraudulent concealment related to FHI’s preferred stock were also reinstated, with the court affirming Scaglia’s duty to disclose due to their fiduciary relationship.

Furthermore, the claim that Feinman and DDK aided and abetted Scaglia’s fraud was reinstated, with the court finding that the preparation of key documents, including tax returns, constituted substantial assistance.

However, Haart's legal team raised questions about his financial claims, pointing to reports of Scaglia's spending on yachts and private jets during the summer.

[44] In January 2025, the honorable Judge Pearlman awarded Haart 50% of EWG, Freedom Holding and a 65 million dollar penthouse in New York City.

[45] The documentary series follows the professional and personal life of Haart in her role as chief executive officer of Elite World Group, as well as an author, mother and wife.

"[49] In April 2022, Haart released her memoir, entitled Brazen: My Unorthodox Journey from Long Sleeves to Lingerie, published by Penguin Random House.

[50] The book details Haart's life story from an ultra-religious housewife to shoe designer, to CEO of the modeling agency, Elite World Group.

Batsheva studied at The Center for Culinary Arts and the Capri School of Hair Design, then entered the world of work.

[58] Three of Haart's children have university degrees: Aron had wanted, not to pursue secular education, but to study at yeshiva, in order to become a Haredi rabbi.

Batsheva was married to Binyamin "Ben" Weinstein, a Modern Orthodox Jew from a Haredi background, from 2012 until their divorce in November 2021.
