Gila has always been interested in the topic of male-female relationships. Unimpressed by how they were conducted in the secular world, she made it her goal to understand the traditional Jewish approach, which she later adopted in dating her husband. Today she is happily married to Avraham and the mother of seven.

Shortly after marrying, Gila embarked upon a teaching and speaking career, which developed into a writing career. The result was a first-of-its-kind book in the Jewish world, which became a bestseller: The Magic Touch: A Jewish Approach to Relationships, a frank discussion of the controversial practice of refraining from all physical involvement before marriage.

Gila subsequently published Outside/Inside: A Fresh Approach to Tzniut (modesty, better translated as internality), a spiritual look at self-definition; Head to Heart: What to Know before Dating and Marriage, a series of essays on topics relevant to marriage preparation; Choosing to Love: Building a Deep Relationship with Another Person—and with Yourself, a broader and deeper exposition of love, touch, and tzniut; and Finding Ourselves in the Crowd: What 18 Out-of-the-Box Jews Can Teach Us about Individuality in Orthodoxy, stories of unique people following their souls to achieve unique things in the religious Jewish world. Her books have been translated into Hebrew, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, and Italian. 

Believing that her messages are universal, Gila recently embarked upon a new project: reaching out beyond the Jewish world. With this in mind, she released Hands Off! This May Be Love: God's Gift for Establishing Enduring Relationships for a general, spiritually-oriented audience, including religious Christians and other people of faith.

Gila is now a popular international lecturer. In addition to speaking widely in Israel, she has given talks in schools, on campuses, and for organizations, synagogues and churches in 39 major North American cities, as well as outlying communities. Her lecture tours have also taken her to Switzerland, the United Kingdom, South Africa, Russia, Argentina, Chile, the Netherlands, and Brazil. She was featured in the Aish HaTorah film Inspired.

As a speaker and author, Gila's greatest gratification is being told, as she has been by countless people, "Your words changed my life."
