lizshayne 's review for:
When inspiration fails to motivate, spite is a heck of a motivator.
But of course, they thought of that too.
Although I would argue the deep drive to prove oneself an intellectual equal and capable of achieving knowledge in the realm of Torah is less spite than a fury at being denied the ideal religious relationship with God. (And if you don’t think it’s the ideal, stop acting that way.)
This review is clearly less about the book than it is about me. But what else would you expect from an orthodox woman who learns Torah full time?
Fascinating, helpful, mindbendingly frustrating and proof that while I know which Chabad rabbis are which, I will never be able to keep the Teitelbaums straight - I’m glad I read this piece of my own history.
