![]() The business side didn’t really interest me as much but it was okay. ![]() I did enjoy reading her life story and how she got to this point. I do think she wasn’t truthful at times and definitely exaggerated a lot of stuff. She constantly explains how she only did something because she was brainwashed, and because she was used to being in control by men. I feel like she blames everything on her “fundamentalist” community/upbringing. It’s unfair to quote a random passage in the Talmud and base it as a belief. This is exactly what the Talmud is, a bunch of Rabbi’s sharing their opinion on something. If you were to put 100 people in a room and record what everyone had to say about a topic, you’d end up with a bunch of different opinions even one or two extreme ones. What she fails to describe is that the Talmud isn’t a book of laws, it’s a discussion between hundreds of Rabbi’s. In the beginning of the book she mostly uses sources from the Talmud to show how fundamental Judaism is. The Hebrew words, the customs, and the difference between different types of religious Jews can be confusing even to other Jews. Honestly, although this book is meant for the “outside world”, there’s still a lot in here that I think would confuse a lot of outsiders. The book starts off with her childhood and goes into her adult years as a religious woman. I’m from the community she used to be a part of, so I may be a bit biased. ![]()
