Reply To: Memoir called "Unorthodox" and its effect on us

I don’t think she is against Judaism, and I don’t think anyone thinks that. I think the point was that religious extremism, in its attempt to strive closer to G-d and further from the outside world, is not the best way of life for her. There is nothing about that that puts Judaism in a bad light. It may just be putting extremism in a bad light, but even then, it is clear that such a lifestyle does work for some people. But with any extremism, there will always be people that simply can’t handle it, and I think everyone understands that. As Jews, it is important to find a place in Judaism where we can reach our full potential, and that is different for everyone.
