Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots

The Hasidic community is trippin', man.

This is a pretty great memoir and I learned a lot. The first half was a little boring though. I don't think this is necessarily the fault of the author, just that she was younger during those years and had less concrete memories to work from. It also ends very abruptly and doesn't really offer a lot of perspective of what happens after she leaves. I think the book should have been written a bit later? But then, she needed the book deal so I dunno.

The ways the Hasidic community repress women and also the men in their communities is atrocious. I'm glad Feldman got out.
