  • Deborah Feldman: Unorthodox
    Theresa Brüheim 30. April 2020 Deborah Feldman: Unorthodox Es war einmal ein regnerischer Sonntagnachmittag – die Kontaktsperren aktiv, die Kulturorte geschlossen, die beste Zeit für „Netflix & Chill“. Zwischen schon Gesehenem und weniger Sehenswertem ploppte die Miniserie „Unorthodox“ auf. Nach vier Folgen und vier Stunden „Binge Watching“ war klar: Morgen muss die gleichnamige Buchvorlage von Deborah Feldman direkt gekauft werden. So packend die Geschichte, so bewegend die filmische Umsetzung, so dringend das Bedürfnis mehr zu erfahren. Deborah Feldman wurde in die chassidische Satmar-Gemeinde, eine ultraorthodoxe jüdische Gruppe mit strengsten Regeln, in New York hineingeboren. Sie wächst dort im Haus ihrer Großeltern, Holocaust-Überlebende aus Ungarn, auf und wird mit 17 Jahren durch eine Kupplerin verheiratet. In „Unorthodox“ erzählt Feldman, wie sie voller Mut und unfassbarer Kraft aus ihrer repressiven Ehe und der sektenartigen Gemeinde Stück für Stück und mit 23 Jahren endgültig ausbricht. Die Leserinnen und Leser erfahren nicht nur Feldmans persönliche Geschichte, sondern lernen über religiöse Traditionen, erfahren vom jüdischen Williamsburg der 1990er/2000er Jahre und erhalten einen nie dagewesenen Einblick in die abgeschirmt lebende chassidische Satmar- Gemeinde. Diesen Teil hat auch die Netflix-Adaption mit dem Buch gemein; in anderen Teilen unterscheiden sich Serie und Buch bewusst stark vonei-nander, wie Feldman im Making-of der filmischen Umsetzung erläutert. Die Hauptfigur der Serie ist die junge Esty, die schwanger vor ihrem chassidischem Mann nach Berlin flieht und eine Musikausbildung anstrebt. Für viele mag das bereits 2016 auf Deutsch erschienene Buch „ein alter Hut“ sein, Ihnen sage ich: Schauen Sie die fantastisch umgesetzte Serie in jiddischer Sprache mit der brillanten Hauptdarstellerin Shira Copyright: Alle Rechte bei Initiative kulturelle Integration Seite 1 / 2 Adresse: https://www.kulturelle-integration.de/2020/04/30/deborah-feldman-unorthodox/ Theresa Brüheim 30.

  • Unorthodox: the Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots by Deborah Feldman
    Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots by Deborah Feldman Traces the author's upbringing in the Hasidic community of Satmar in Brooklyn's Williamsburg, describing the strict rules that governed every aspect of her life, denial of a traditional education and arranged marriage at seventeen to a stranger before the birth of her son led to her plan to escape her cloistered world. See also: Exodus: A Memoir (2014) in which 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. The Netflix series Unorthodox (2020), a TV drama about a Hasidic Jewish woman in Brooklyn who flees to Berlin from an arranged marriage and is taken in by a group of musicians, until her past comes calling; inspired by Deborah Feldman’s memoir. FURTHER READING: The Pious Ones: The World of Hasidim and Their Battles with America by Joseph Berger (182) A New York Times journalist and author takes readers inside the notoriously insular world of the Hasidim to explore their origins, beliefs, and struggles--and the social and political implications of their expanding presence in America. Becoming un-Orthodox: Stories of ex-Hasidic Jews by Lynn Davidman (300.10) Based on her in-depth conversations with over forty male and female Haredi “defectors,” Lynn Davidman, the Beren Distinguished Professor of Modern Jewish Studies at the University of Kansas, explores what prompts some ultra-Orthodox Jews to abandon their insulated lives and shed their distinctive clothes and behaviors to enter the secular world.

  • The Unorthodox the Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots
    The Unorthodox The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots by Deborah Feldman Led by Shelli Feldman Monday, December 17, 2018 1-3pm “The instant New York Times bestselling memoir of a young Jewish woman’s escape from a religious sect, in the tradition of Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s Infidel and Carolyn Jessop’s Escape, featuring a new epilogue by the author. 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. It was stolen moments spent with the empowered literary characters of Jane Austen and Louisa May Alcott that helped her to imagine an alternative way of life. Trapped as a teenager in a sexually and emotionally dysfunctional marriage to a man she barely knew, the tension between Deborah’s desires and her responsibilities as a good Satmar girl grew more explosive until she gave birth at nineteen and realized that, for the sake of herself and her son, she had to escape.” …Simon & Schuster, Publisher NOTE: This book was met with great criticism from the Satmar Community of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. This book is available at the Brooklyn Public Library and book sellers like Amazon in both hard copy, audio, and eBook formats. The book was made into a movie that is free on Amazon Prime. We meet at the Hadassah Brooklyn Office in The East Midwood Jewish Center 1625 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn NY 11230 (between Avenues L & K) $10 in advance.

    National Museum of American Jewish History Quarterly Members’, Docents’, & Volunteers’ Book Club Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots By Deborah Feldman Discussed at NMAJH on September 27, 2016 At the age of 25 she published The New York Times Bestselling memoir, Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots (Simon and Schuster, 2012) and two years later she followed up with Exodus, a memoir of post-religious alienation and identity (Blue Rider Press, 2014.) Her work has been translated into Hebrew (Kinneret) and German (Secession Verlag). Currently she is working in two mediums, film and writing. She is most interested in exploring the intersection between globalization, religion, and identity. Deborah lives in Berlin, Germany with her ten-year-old son. Source: http://www.deborahfeldman.com/about.php - retrieved 8/30/16 1. Does feminism have a role in orthodox Judaism? How does Rachel Adler address this question? 2. What are the silences in the book? What impression do you have of Feldman’s husband? 3. How did Deborah’s grandmother’s experience compare to that of other Jewish immigrant women? (Paula Hyman article). Was it similar? Different? Why or why not? 4. In “Acknowledgments,” Feldman thanks her mother for her support as Feldman was writing, yet in the book there are few references to her mother. Does this suggest anything about the author? Is she self-centered or could this have been an editorial decision? 5. How do the obligations/laws of the Satmar sect of Hasidic Judaism prepare men and women differently for life? Deborah’s grandfather was involved in real estate along with his religious studies.

  • De-Colonialization of Body, Spirit and Mind in the Memoir of Deborah Feldman
    IAPT – 2/2021 typoscript [FP] – 09.06.2021 – Seite 138 – 2. Satzlauf De-Colonialization of Body, Spirit and Mind in the Memoir of Deborah Feldman Constanze Thierfelder Conscious – and especially unconscious – God-representations play an important role in the de- velopment of an individual’s psyche. God-representations can also be the agents of colonializa- tion. They can make the individual consent to their own oppression. In the case of Deborah Feldman, they were part of the restrictive context in the ultra-orthodox community in which she grew up. But a different God-representation helped her to find a way out of this repressive sys- tem. In all of her struggles, the body was the site in which different God-representations played out and demonstrated their importance and meaning. Finally, Deborah had to make the decision over which God-representation she wanted to trust. I.

  • ANALYZING CULTURAL TRAUMA Hasidic Community Through the Lens of Netflix Film Series: Unorthodox
    Vol-7 Issue-2 2021 IJARIIE-ISSN(O)-2395-4396 ANALYZING CULTURAL TRAUMA Hasidic Community through the Lens of Netflix Film series: Unorthodox Aishwarya Prasad 1 Postgraduate Student, Department of English with Communication Studies, Christ University, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India ABSTRACT Unorthodox is a Netflix film series that talks about the Hasidic Community. The drama series is based on Deborah Feldman's memoir Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots. It highlights the aftermath of the Holocaust and its impact on developing the ground rules of the Hasidic community. There are intersectional themes within the series. But this paper will focus on the origins of the community. Cultural lineage, its growth, strength, and weaknesses are viewed on the basis of emotional and spiritual bondage through distributed trauma. Within the structure of the film series, the after-effects of the Holocaust, leading to the existence of the Hasidic Community as it is today are analyzed. The psychological effects post-war, the beginning of a newer and stronger belief are all bound to this experience. An analysis on these grounds takes place based on the understanding of the Trauma theory within its primary text. The cultural significance of passing over a legacy based on the grounds of a shared (collective) traumatic experience is researched. In other words, it is a critical analysis of how much influence a severe historical trauma can have on its generations. Their lifestyle, traditions, rituals, and beliefs will be looked at from the perspective of Cathy Caruth’s findings in trauma theory. The societal factors that influence and contribute to the Hasidic way of existence can also be studied through this paper.
