Deborah feldman memoir5/25/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() If you're interested, here's a NYT profile of me: and an interview on WNYC's All of It with Alison Stewart. ![]() I can tell you all about what it was like to grow up as a part of the Satmar Hasidic community, my escape, and my life in Berlin now, as well as what it was like to have a TV series made from my life story. My marriage was arranged when I was 17 years old, and I had a son at 19. I was raised in the Satmar Hasidic community in New York. In 2012 Deborah released the explosive memoir In Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of my Hasidic Roots, recounting years trapped in her Satmar community, the religious sect barring her. My book Unorthodox: A Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots was the inspiration for the new Netflix series. But I will be back tomorrow to tackle some of the rest! Thank you so much!) Unfortunately I have been typing rapid-fire for 90 min straight and have run out of steam. Update! I love your questions! There are so many of them and they are all great and my fingers are itching to answer them all. (Update 2: I'm back online, and will be logging on sporadically throughout the day to answer some more questions and follow up on some old ones. ![]()
