| Abstract | "Among scholars of Jewish Studies, the process, history, and literature of exiting one's native religious community is increasingly recognized as a new area within the field which, ironically, has a history stretching back to antiquity. By presenting scholarship from a diverse range of disciplines-including history, sociology, psychology, and gender studies-this volume deepens and broadens readers' understanding of the complexity of the topic of taking leave of the Orthodox community in which one has been raised and establishing a different kind of life that is outside of its borders"-- Provided by publisher. |
