As a member of the strictly religious Satmar sect of Hasidic Judaism, Deborah Feldman grew up under a code of relentlessly enforced customs governing everything from what she could wear and to whom she could speak to what she was allowed to read. Yet in spite of her repressive upbringing, Deborah grew into an independent-minded young woman whose stolen moments reading about the empowered literary characters of Jane Austen and Louisa May Alcott helped her to imagine an alternative way of life among the skyscrapers of Manhattan.

Dès qu'elle a senti ce petit être au creux de ses bras, si fragile, Deborah Feldman a su ce qu'elle devait faire. A peine âgée de 19 ans, elle a toujours vécu au sein de la communauté hassidique Satmar. Elle a toujours suivi les principes implacables qui régissent les moindres détails de sa vie : ce qu'elle peut porter, à qui elle peut parler... Tous les principes sauf celui de ne pas lire de littérature.

In 2009, at the age of 23, Deborah Feldman packed up her young son and their few possessions and walked away from her insular Hasidic roots.

Out of her experience came the incendiary, best-selling memoir Unorthodox, and now, just a few years later, Feldman has embarked on a triumphant journey of self-discovery - a journey in which she begins life anew as a single mother, an independent woman, and a religious refugee.

Como miembro de los satmar, una comunidad de judíos ultraortodoxos de Williamsburg (Brooklyn, Nueva York), Deborah Feldman crece bajo un estricto código de normas que rige desde su idioma -el yiddish- o su indumentaria hasta sus lecturas y las personas con las que se le permite relacionarse.

Con solo veintitrés años, Deborah Feldman tomó a su hijo y sus pocas posesiones, y dejó atrás la comunidad jasídica Satmar de Williamsburg (Nueva York) en la que había crecido, decidida a forjarse una vida mejor lejos de la opresión y el aislamiento de su educación judía ultraortodoxa. A partir de esa experiencia escribió Unorthodox, su primer memoir, que fue aclamado por la crítica y los lectores, y se adaptó a una exitosa serie de televisión.

»Ja, Berlin war es, das neue Leben in Deutschland war es, der Grund, warum plötzlich all diese Fragen in mir aufzogen. Ich hatte mich vom Thema jüdischer Identität in der Gegenwart weitgehend verabschiedet, ich wollte nur Mensch unter Menschen sein, Berliner unter Berlinern. Wie weit ist mir das überhaupt gelungen? Wie habe ich es auszuwerten, dass dieses Deutschwerden, worum ich mich so fleißig bemüht habe, mich zu meinem Judentum wieder zurückschob wie zu einer unerfüllten Pflicht, die kein Vertagen mehr duldet?«

Deborah Feldman cresceu sob um código de costumes rígidos, que regulavam praticamente tudo que dizia respeito à sua vida, desde o que ela poderia vestir e com quem poderia falar, até o que lhe era permitido ler.
