Abigail Shapiro Was Born Into a Conservative Jewish Family
Abigail Shapiro’s brother first schooled at Walter Reed Middle School in Studio City, Los Angeles, before he transferred to Yeshiva University High School of Los Angeles, where he completed his high school education at the age of 16. Thereafter, he proceeded to the University of California, Los Angeles, where he obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science before attending Harvard Law School.

Abigail is of Lithuanian-Jewish and Rusian-Jewish ancestry. She was born and raised in Los Angeles to parents who are both members of the entertainment industry. Her father is a composer while her mother is an executive of a TV company. Much of her early life and upbringing are yet to be uncovered, but we can confirm she was born into a Conservative Jewish family. From what we gathered, her family embraced Orthodox Judaism at some point, and she continues to practice the faith.
Given her family background, one does not have to ask questions about the source of her conservative views. Abby takes pride in describing herself as a “conservative influencer,” but this has not always been so. According to her, she was compelled to keep her conservative opinions to herself because of the fear of being regarded as someone who does not care about the well-being of other women. However, she now seeks to encourage conservative women to cease being silent about their views and spread values she believes goes a long way in encouraging people to be better.
