Susannah Heschel, Eli Black Professor of Jewish Studies, Dartmouth College Lynn Davidman offers us a window into the hearts and minds of young Jews who have left the world of ultra-Orthodoxy. Offering a range of reasons for their departure, they describe both their love and frustration with pious communities, and with the constrictions and, at times, lovelessness and abuse they experienced in their families. An excellent study of an important and growing phenomenon.
Jonathan D. Sarna, President, Association for Jewish Studies This is the best-written and most insightful study yet of those who abandon Orthodoxy, breaking with the religious worlds in which they were raised. Award-winning sociologist Lynn Davidman highlights the role played by rituals of the body in the whole process of becoming un-Orthodox. Her broad lens and rich comparative insights elevate this study into a major contribution to the study of religion.
Robert Wuthnow, Andlinger Professor of Sociology and Director of the Center for the Study of Religion, Princeton University This is a beautifully-written and important book. It is not only a masterful contribution to scholarship on contemporary Judaism, but the rare and moving story of those who have turned away from the Jewish Orthodox faith, losing the only identities and communities they have ever known and endeavoring to reinvent and reconstruct them.
Joyce Antler, Samuel Lane Professor of American Jewish History and Culture, Brandeis University A learned, imaginative study of defectors from Orthodox Jewish communities; Davidman's analysis of identity narratives and the process of transformation is original and provocative.
