Finding Ourselves in the Crowd: What 18 Out-of-the-Box Jews Can Teach Us About Individuality
Wilderness therapist.
Black belt.
Zoological historian.
Agunah advocate.
Environmentalist.
And Orthodox
These are just some of the people you'll meet in Finding Ourselves in the Crowd, 18 stories of out-of-the-box individuals in the Orthodox world—men and women, young and old, "frum from birth" and ba'alei teshuvah, ranging from Chassidic to Modern Orthodox.
Aside from their commitment to Torah, one thing unites them all: They believe in themselves—so they choose to be themselves.
Read about them,
appreciate them,
and become inspired to be yourself too.
