Talk about convoluted allegiances!!... Orly Taitz was born to a Jewish family in Chişinău, Moldavian SSR in the Soviet Union (present day Moldova).[6] Both of her parents were science teachers.[11] In 1981, Orly immigrated to Israel,[1] where she obtained a dentistry degree at Hebrew University.[1] In 1987, she met Yosef Taitz who proposed four months later. Orly immigrated to the United States in May 1987, marrying the Latvian-born[11] Yosef in Las Vegas.[6] Taitz became a naturalized United States citizen in 1992.[2][12] She received her law degree from Taft Law School[11][13] and was admitted to practice law in California in December 2002.[14] Taitz lives in Laguna Niguel, California[15] and owns dental practices in nearby Mission Viejo and Rancho Santa Margarita.[6] She has three sons,[6] holds a second degree black belt in Taekwondo, and speaks five languages: English, Hebrew, Romanian, Russian and Spanish.[16][17] Before her national news exposure, Taitz was quoted in The Orange County Register in 2006 supporting Israeli military actions against Hamas and Hezbollah,[18] and downplaying the impact of the espionage trial of two American Israel Public Affairs Committee staffers.[19] (Charges against both were subsequently dropped.)[20] Taitz has also said that she lost relatives in the Holocaust and that her grandmother witnessed the Kishinev pogrom.[16][21]
