Deborah never saw Camp Ramah or even Stern College. By breaking away from Satmar and entering the world of bacon and crab cakes wthout examing the Jewish community outside her ghetto she threw the baby out with the bathwater by assuming all Judaism had to offer her was a shaved head and two head coverings with wide black clothes.

YOU HAVE SO MANY FACTS WRONG... I wish you had a chance to think to ask. Our Jewish teachers encourage us to do just that. It makes me so sad to see what you're doing with your life.... BE PROUD OF WHERE YOU CAME FROM!!! Its not your fault that you grew up in a broken home, but it is your fault for ruining what you had and looking for the bad in everything. By the way- my mother is a tenth grade global teacher for satmar. Many girls go on to pursue professional careers. YOU NEED HELP!

Interesting how the people who consider themselves to be 'non believers' are so quick to 'believe' everything Deborah Feldman has to say

[lilatunes]

While she articulates well, her dishonesty is quite obvious. AFter reading the book, I was left feeling sad for a young girl ( too young to write a memoir) who has not lived in the secular world long enough to call herself Un- anything, other than unstable. She presents a very one - sided view of larger picture . And many details in the book as well her media tour can be proven as blatant lies. Her fame, like most, is temporary, and I hope that one day she will find a balance .

The spelling and grammar on display in the comment here, certainly confirms Ms. Feldman's assertion that the chassidim leave school with a 4th grade education.

[soferfan]

she has one problem she don't remamber her lies..

[pokechopped]

This woman comes across as rational and balanced. I hear nothing outrageous in her claims. She simply describes her experience.

What is modern or forward-thinking about treating women as "dirty", second class citizens or everyone dressing-up in identical 19th century costumes every single day?
