Intro IRB #3 Unorthodox by Deborah Feldman


For the third marking period I am going to read Unorthodox by Deborah Feldman. This book shares what it is like living in a Hassidic community as a woman. Unorthodox is a memoir that tells Deborah's personal story of marrying and having children while following the strict religious rules, which pushed her to want to leave. I chose this book as a recommendation from my mom. I also am interested in learning about practices of other sects of Judaism. This summer I may be living in an orthodox community and I am curious to read about this woman's life.
