All American BTs end up happy in Jerusalem

These haredi-BT stories all end the same. None end with dissatisfaction, resentment, and fallout. Absolutely not. Whatever issues are acknowledged, the arc doesn’t change.

5 Towns Jewish Times writes,

Sondra’s Search, by Ester Katz Silvers, is a beautifully written story detailing the complex and wonderful path back home towards Jerusalem for a young unaffiliated Jewish woman born and raised in Kansas. The author explores how this young non-Orthodox girl manages to successfully find hope, happiness, and a husband in her personal search for meaning.

Notice the “back home” to Jerusalem. Notice also that she is born in Kansas. What do we know from this absurd language? We know that the 5 Towns Jewish Times is an annoying frummie paper.

So, you got it? Do you need to review it once more?

No problem. Since it was too subtle the first time in the first paragraph, 5 Towns Jewish Times will explain once more how it is to be for every BT.

“In public high school, Sondra started out in a completely non-Jewish environment. She started in Kansas, in a non-Orthodox traditional family, and eventually established a frum home in the Land of Israel.”
