The Goodreads description of Deborah Feldman:

“Deborah Feldman was born and raised in the Hasidic community of Williamsburg in Brooklyn, New York. Her memoir, UNORTHODOX: The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots, is being published by Simon and Schuster on February 14, 2012. She is currently working on the first novel in a series about crime in the Hasidic community that is based on real-life characters and events, and is due out from Soho Press in Autumn 2012. She attended Sarah Lawrence College and lives in New York City with her son.”

So now after, “Unorthodox,” she’s “working on the first novel in a series about crime in the Hasidic community, that is based on real-life characters and events, and is due out from Soho Press in Autumn 2012.”

Not only did she leave Yiddishkeit;

she committed a Chilul Hashem against Yiddishkeit.

She’s after money and publicity; and now, it sounds, to me, like she’s really going after the Hasidic community, with a vengeance.

I agree with ZeesKite, on this issue.
