Deborah has been through significant trauma and chose to leave Judaism. It’s unfortunate that she does not realize that there are good & simple Jews out there who follow the letter and spirit of the law without going to extremes.
I just cannot understand why there is so much verbal bashing going on in this thread. Who are we to judge her? God hands each of us our own party bag of tests, & we do not know (& certainly cannot judge!) how or why anyone reacts to their handout.
I want to reiterate that it is important to remember that this is a public forum, & one does not know who is reading. The ramifications would be devastating.
Be. Careful.
