Jew Fetish. With Deborah Feldman
Deborah Feldman grew up in the Satmar Hasidic community in the New York neighborhood of Williamsburg. Her escape from this ultra-Orthodox community and her emigration to Berlin were the topic of her impressive biography “Unorthodox”. It became an international best seller and was adapted into a Netflix miniseries. In her new book, Jew Fetish, Feldman explores her cultural heritage and Jewish identity in the present day: “What did it mean, that this ‘becoming-German’ I’d worked so hard at was pushing me back towards my Jewishness again, like an obligation that could no longer be avoided?” This book is a plea for a shared community beyond borders, which will give courage to those who are trying to define their own individual identity, regardless of other people’s expectations. Host: Shelly Kupferberg
