Sotah by Naomi Ragen

4.0

I've wanted to read this for years. There's a WORLD of difference between "cultural" or secular Jews and Orthodox Jews, and another, even huger world between Orthodox Jews and the Hasidic community! This book takes you right into one family in the Hasidic community of Jerusalem and follows three sisters from adolescence through their young marriages. Some of it is shocking, some of it fills me with despair, and yet some of it is very enlightening. All of it, however, fills my feminist being with deep frustration. Such and interesting story.
