90 Day Fiance Holiday Update: Alexei & Loren Goldstone Brovarnik Introduce Shai to Jewish Culture
Shai Josef gets a taste of his very first traditional festival. The 90 Day Fiance baby celebrates this year’s Hanukkah with his proud parents Alexei Brovarnik and Loren Brovarnik. The family of three is in a festive mood as they kicked off the eight-day festivities.
Loren took photos of her son Shai enjoying his first-ever Chanukah (the traditional spelling of Hanukkah). The seven-month-old baby boy donned a black overall outfit with a white and blue accent. Shai definitely looked like he’s having a blast as he flashed the biggest and sweetest smile for the camera. Loren couldn’t help but gush at her cute son, calling him their “Mensch on a Bench”. The TLC mom explained that the word “mensch” refers to “a person of integrity and honor”.
The “Mensch on a Bench” became popular as a product after it was featured on ABC’s Shark Tank. It’s an alternative for Jewish families to the “Elf on the Shelf”.
