Book Description
Inside the closed community of Borough Park, where most Chassidim live, the rules of life are very clear, determined by an ancient script written thousands of years before down to the last detail-and abuse has never been a part of it. But when thirteen-year-old Gittel learns of the abuse her best friend has suffered at the hands of her own family member, the adults in her community try to persuade Gittel, and themselves, that nothing happened. Forced to remain silent, Gittel begins to question everything she was raised to believe. A richly detailed and nuanced book, one of both humor and depth, understanding and horror, this story explains a complex world that remains an echo of its past, and illuminates the conflict between yesterday's traditions and today's reality.

Languages : en
Pages : 347
Book Description
“An absolutely crackling, unputdownable mystery told by a narrator with one big, booming voice. I loved it.” —Gillian Flynn, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Gone Girl One of The Boston Globe’s Best Books of the Year In her riveting debut, journalist Julia Dahl—a finalist for the Edgar and Mary Higgins Clark Awards—introduces a compelling new character in search of the truth about a murder and an understanding of her own heritage Just months after Rebekah Roberts was born, her mother, an Hasidic Jew from Brooklyn, abandoned her Christian boyfriend and newborn baby to return to her religion. Neither Rebekah nor her father have heard from her since. Now a recent college graduate, Rebekah has moved to New York City to follow her dream of becoming a big-city reporter. But she’s also drawn to the idea of being closer to her mother, who might still be living in the Hasidic community in Brooklyn. Then Rebekah is called to cover the story of a murdered Hasidic woman. Rebekah’s shocked to learn that, because of the NYPD’s habit of kowtowing to the powerful ultra-Orthodox community, not only will the woman be buried without an autopsy, her killer may get away with murder. Rebekah can’t let the story end there. But getting to the truth won’t be easy—even as she immerses herself in the cloistered world where her mother grew up, it’s clear that she’s not welcome, and everyone she meets has a secret to keep from an outsider. “Fast-paced, suspenseful . . . rises above the crime-novel genre in its unusual psychological, spiritual and sociological dimensions, entering a world unfamiliar to most people.” —The Washington Post

The Taharas Hamishpacha Workbook
Author: Dovid a Kaufman
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781974600533
Category : Purity, Ritual
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
.This workbook is a valuable resource for women suffering from anxiety or OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) particularly regarding taharas hamishpacha (family purity), mikvah, and related issues. It is not a guide to the halachos (laws) of taharas hamishpacha. Rather, it enables a woman who has anxiety regarding these matters overcome her anxiety, by guiding her through an evidence-based step-by-step program using proven cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques. It can be used as a self-help book or as a treatment manual in a therapy setting. The book teaches how to deal with uncertainty, fear of taking risks, and extreme fear of sinning. It addresses how women can learn to face these challenges without compromising on their Jewish values. And to the contrary, how Jewish values encourage living with joy and happiness rather than anxiety and fear. Rabbi Shmuel Kamenetsky shlita: This work is of great usefulness for those struggling with these matters. Rabbi Yehuda Jacobs (mashgiach, Beis Medrah Govoha, Lakewood, NJ): This book combines Torah wisdom with the practical knowledge needed to address these issues. Rabbi Avrohom Spitzer (Skver Dayan) and Rav Eliezer Harari shlita: This work will help women fulfill the mitzvah with happiness and in a relaxed manner. Rabbi Yaakov Forchheimer attests to the knowledge of the author, and that the work is consistent with halachah. Dr. Elna Yadin and Dr. Jonathan Huppert, renowned experts in the field of Anxiety and treatment of OCD, both note that the book was written with sensitivity, and -- at the same time -- is consistent with evidenced-based practices. TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter One SERVE HASHEM WITH JOY Chapter Two THE IMPERFECT MAN Chapter Three TAKING THE RISK Chapter Four FEELINGS Chapter Five WHAT TO DO Chapter Six THE BASICS Chapter Seven DESIGNATE FOR YOURSELF A RAV Chapter Eight DO IT! Chapter Nine PREPARING FOR MIKVAH Chapter Ten AFTER TEVILAH Chapter Eleven "IT'S ALL IN YOUR MIND!" Chapter Twelve BOSS BACK YOUR ANXIETY Chapter Thirteen IS IT OCD? Chapter Fourteen DO I NEED HELP? Chapter Fifteen NOW IT'S UP TO YOU A WORD TO THE MIKVAH LADY
