A Window into a Hidden World

Growing up in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Deborah was raised in the insular world of the Satmar Hasidic sect. Her life was dictated by strict religious customs, oppressive gender roles, and a constant fear of violating God's wrath. "Unorthodox" offers a rare glimpse into this enigmatic and deeply conservative society, exposing its hidden rituals and the unbearable pressure it places on its members.

A Daughter's Quest for Identity

As Deborah matured, she began to question the foundation of her faith and the rigid rules that governed her every move. Torn between her love for her family and her longing for personal freedom, she embarked on a perilous path of self-discovery. Through secret readings, clandestine encounters, and stolen moments of solitude, Deborah gradually peeled back layers of her Hasidic upbringing, revealing a vibrant and independent self hidden beneath.

A Scandalous Rejection

Deborah's decision to leave the community sent shockwaves through Williamsburg. Her book provides a gripping account of the pain and ostracism she faced as a result.
