Teens will devour this candid, detailed memoir of an insular way of life so unlike that of the surrounding society.– Paula J. After giving birth to a son just over two years later, Feldman musters the courage to take the steps that will ultimately sever her ties to this community. Unorthodox is the universe’s leading Jewish podcast, hosted by Stephanie Butnick, Liel Leibovitz, and Joshua Malina. At 17, she is completely unprepared for the intimacy and strictures of her own arranged marriage. She finds solace and inspiration in the pages of forbidden novels like Little Women that she keeps hidden beneath her mattress. Feldman bravely lays her soul bare, unflinchingly sharing intimate thoughts and ideas unthinkable within the deeply religious existence of the Satmars. Compulsively readable, Unorthodox relates a unique coming-of-age story that manages to speak personally to anyone who has ever felt like an outsider in her own life. She yearns to take control of her future even as she knows the restrictive path her religion dictates. Her mother flees her untenable arranged marriage, leaving young Devoiri to be raised by her strict paternal grandparents. Her father’s childlike behavior and lack of personal hygiene leave him all but unemployable. Further to the enormous amount of rise and fall, Michael Stavrakakis. Feldman carries a stigma of shame in the Satmar community of Brooklyn, NY. Factoring in the concept, calling Unorthodox a metal opera seems less outlandish than calling it a doom metal album, since the focus falls squarely on expression and drama instead of the sometimes straight-faced and conservative stylings of metal’s dourest sub-genre. Her oldest aunt, controlling, take-charge Chaya, constantly reminds her to obey, as do her teachers and her Yiddish textbooks. From an early age, this adage is repeated to intellectually curious, always questioning Devoiri Feldman. Adult/High School–“An empty vessel clangs the loudest.” Outspoken, insolent women in the Satmar Hasidic sect of Judaism are likely to be spiritually hollow.
