The High Price of Leaving Ultra-Orthodox Life
On Thursdays, the not-for-profit association Footsteps has a drop-in gathering for its participation of once in the past ultra-Orthodox Jews, who generally allude to themselves as "off the derech." "Derech" signifies "way" in Hebrew, and "off the derech," or O.T.D. for short, is how their ultra-Orthodox families and companions allude to them when they split far from these tight-sew, impermeable groups, as in: "Did you hear that Shaindel's little girl Rivkie is off the derech? I heard she has a cell phone and has been going to exhibition halls." So despite the fact that the term is troubled with the burden of the very thing they are attempting to escape, individuals stay clustered together under "O.T.D." on their websites and in their Facebook bunches, where their favored hashtag is #itgetsbesser — besser signifying "better" in Yiddish. Once in a while somebody will fly up on a message load up or in an email gathering and say, "Shouldn't we choose to call ourselves something else?" But it never takes. Recoveries are chaotic/italianska.
