Foreskin's Lament

Actually enjoyed the book and related to it quite a bit. Like the author, I grew up in Monsey NY as an orthodox Jew and attended the same synagogue and day school. I too have issues with god, not sure he exists actually and if he does i don't think he gives a crap what a person eats. Difference is that the author seems to have had a horrible upbringing which is why he is so bitter. I am no longer observant but have a great relationship with my family despite the fact that I feel that they are a bit fanatic. The author really points out the problems with how judaism is taught in day schools and is a prime- example of what can happen when the methods backfire ... To the author, chill out, life is too short to be so obsessive over something that is truly unknown.

Easy to read, conveying feelings and emotions directly, as well as Jewish ways of life, thanks God!? that are valid for only a very small part of Jewish population. Although, very few would challenge it as the author does. I enjoyed it very much. A good one!
