Stein was raised in an Orthodox Hasidic Jewish family. After suppressing her gender identity since childhood, she left the Hasidic community in 2012 and came out as trans in 2015. Now identifying as ex-Orthodox, Stein is still a practicing Rabbi, serving part-time at Brooklyn's Kolot Chayein synagogue. She released her first book in 2019, a memoir titled Becoming Eve: My Journey from Ultra Orthodox Rabbi to Transgender Woman. That memoir has since been adapted into the off-Broadway play of the same name.
