I learned something about this insular community. I am a staunch Zionist!!<br /><br />Deborah, your response to the lady who returned to the Lubavichers would have been much better if you omitted the profanity. After attending a good college, you should have a large enough vocabulary to express yourself well with currently acceptable words, not trash talk. a well expressed opinion has much more credibility and weight than one with the use of profanity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759092166629916017.post-7111109333264459872013-01-20T19:03:30.044-08:002013-01-20T19:03:30.044-08:00I recently read this book and was shocked at how d...I recently read this book and was shocked at how different the portrayal of the Satmar community was from reality. This woman obviously is troubled and wrote a book full of exaggeration and outright lies. Why? That is not my place to decide, but it is a tragedy that she did write such hurtful untruths. I do not need to conjecture, that would be unfair. What a shame that this woman didn't remember the lack of merit to Lashon Hara.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759092166629916017.post-12957608729960238662012-12-21T21:45:26.015-08:002012-12-21T21:45:26.015-08:00You mention irrelevant quibbles when this entire w...You mention irrelevant quibbles when this entire website is a complete fraud,, redirecting from what should be a feminist site.

The author said she had changed names in order to protect the people in her life. That may explain certain omissions, as well. A sister who wasn't around is not a glaring omission. Gay people and Jewish people are often targeted for hate crimes. Could it be the author was trying to protect those she cares about?JMyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12898466344397975963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759092166629916017.post-53878994373958092462012-12-03T05:57:15.807-08:002012-12-03T05:57:15.807-08:00Wow...I loved Deborahs book and I find your attemp...Wow...I loved Deborahs book and I find your attempt to discredit her as futile.

Deborah Feldman also hid and omitted the fact that she wrote beautiful English poetry as a child, writing to her Aunt a Hanukah Poem which you can see on Shmarya Rosenberg's Failed Messiah blog, she has the Audacity to lie and tell us the reader that she had a 4th grade education when proved otherwise.<br /><br /> Yes anyone can write a book including James Frey, but this a free country where we are allowed to voice the truth without any censorship.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759092166629916017.post-22329561925414913392012-03-07T06:32:45.827-08:002012-03-07T06:32:45.827-08:00I skipped a day of Satmar bashing of this girl. S...I skipped a day of Satmar bashing of this girl. She states in her book that she went down from the apartment she lived in, we presume with her parents or mother, to her grandparent's apartment. A girl of 16 who didn't get along with her mother perhaps so ran to her grandparents? Unheard of right? Wrong. Girls of that age are difficult and if they live in an unhappy household and a grandparent is nearby, the child will go there. Normal rebellious behavior. <br /><br />I found no bashing of her grandfather in the book. Yes, he was extremely religious, he checked the house apparently everywhere before Passover, and he was strict. He was also very bright, a Torah scholar according to the author. She stated she didn't believe anybody else in the community was a wise as he was. As to her grandmother she implies that she spent just about all of the time in her kitchen. Apparently she liked being there with her grandmother. What is she saying that is so bad about her grandparents?<br /><br />Jesse Kornbluth asks at the end of his article in The Huffington Post, on 3/6/2012<br /><br />"Why didn't the Satmars take me on about the blatant sexism that oppresses both women and men in their community?"<br /><br />Referring to other schools the author may have attended of which I've heard no disputes, you write above, "<br />she was likely expelled from both schools". The word, "likely" is as vague as Deborah's book. But I do not doubt she was expelled. She may have been. She doesn't seem like an easy person and might have been a difficult student. <br /><br />Deborah may be a troubled girl....I do not know. If so, instead of bashing her, why do you not feel sorry for her? She did not say awful things about the Satmar community. She said what she saw and what she perceived and how she felt about living that type of ultra-Orthodox life. You treat it as if her opinions are a shame. If you all stop posting here against her this will go away. However, as long as you post, it shows up on a Google search so we are reminded that you still want to knock any credibility she may have while assuming no responsibility for blatant sexism, marriage to virtual strangers, head shaving, & everything being the fault of the woman in your eyes, etc. <br /><br />And you are attacking all authors who write about her book favorably. For what purpose? Is the secular view going to change? Are writers going to stop writing about her as long as you keep her in their minds? No to both. <br /><br />Why did the book begin when the author was 11 years old? Well, perhaps that is when a young girl begins to think, assess, and find fault with things due to reaching puberty. Did you think of that? Does anybody remember their lives before they were 11 enough to write about it? I doubt that. <br /><br />So the mother dragged the father into court asking for money for both children. You put an exclamation point after that sentence. Oh, is that unheard of in divorce cases? To the best of my knowledge, the father pays child support for children up till 18 or if they are attending college, age 21 in the state of NY. That is the law. It is what the mother's attorney would have asked for. <br /><br />You may not like America, gentiles, secular Jews or Zionist Israel, or speaking English, but you live here in this country, in the U.S.A. In this country the girl has a right to publish her views if a publisher will take her on. A woman has a right to divorce her husband. To whatever man or woman wrote on another Deborah bashing blog, the husband didn't go to a prostitute because it was the fault of his wife. I didn't answer him because what he said was disgusting. There is no excuse for a husband using the services of a prostitute unless he doesn't care what disease he gives his wife. It is nothing but the lowest of low things to do. Normal, decent, young American men do not do such things to their wives and if they do, the wife gets rid of the man promptly - in any religion, unless the woman is oppressed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
