Opis

Shalom Auslander was raised with a terrified respect for God. Even as he grew up and was cast out of his community, he continued to struggle against Him daily. This text reveals Auslander's youth in a strict, socially isolated Orthodox community, and recounts his rebellion and efforts to make a new life apart from it.
