Shulem Deen

    Shulem Deen es el autor de unas memorias que narran su travesía al crecer dentro y, finalmente, abandonar una de las sectas jasídicas más aisladas de los Estados Unidos. Su escritura profundiza en temas trascendentales como la identidad, la fe y la búsqueda de pertenencia en un mundo a menudo definido por límites inflexibles. Como ex blogger y editor fundador de una revista en línea para voces del margen jasídico, Deen examina críticamente la complejidad que enfrentan los individuos al emprender el difícil camino para alejarse de una comunidad religiosa profundamente arraigada. Su obra ofrece poderosas perspectivas sobre los paisajes psicológicos y sociales de abandonar dicho mundo y la subsiguiente búsqueda de autonomía personal y autodescubrimiento.

      A moving and revealing exploration of ultra-Orthodox Judaism and one man's loss of faith Shulem Deen was raised to believe that questions are dangerous. As a member of the Skverers, one of the most insular Hasidic sects in the US, he knows little about the outside world—only that it is to be shunned. His marriage at eighteen is arranged and several children soon follow. Deen's first transgression—turning on the radio—is small, but his curiosity leads him to the library, and later the Internet. Soon he begins a feverish inquiry into the tenets of his religious beliefs, until, several years later, his faith unravels entirely. Now a heretic, he fears being discovered and ostracized from the only world he knows. His relationship with his family at stake, he is forced into a life of deception, and begins a long struggle to hold on to those he loves most: his five children. In All Who Go Do Not Return, Deen bravely traces his harrowing loss of faith, while offering an illuminating look at a highly secretive world.
