Qesher Book Club: ‘Brooklyn Odyssey: My Journey out of Hasidism’
Hosted By: Qesher
Qesher presents a conversation with Zalman Newfield about his memoir “Brooklyn Odyssey: My Journey out of Hasidism,” which recounts his upbringing in the Chabad-Lubavitch community of Crown Heights and his eventual departure from the faith of his youth. Trained as a Lubavitch emissary who traveled the world doing Jewish outreach, Newfield describes how reading, travel, and education gave him new perspective and led him to assert his individuality. The memoir moves through moments of devastation and joyful resolve while reflecting his enduring bond with his family and Jewish tradition.
