"Unorthodox" is the title of a new book that just was published by Deborah Feldman. She was brought up in the Satmar sect of Hasidic Judaism and it is a fascinating read. I did not know that Satmar is a cannibalization of Saint Mary - who would have known? I knew that the ultraorthodox were super pious in their outward appearance but the that Rabbi had to look at your underwear if you had doubts if your period had ended or not and before you could go to a mikvah - that beat all. Apparently you can send you husband with your underwear to the Rabbi. I think my doubts would have vanished for good. Can you imagine that in any Christian religion?
"Here husband, I don't know what this spot is - take my panties and go check it out with the pastor." Well, Deborah left the Satmars and so we have a book about them. Only in America.
