Shulem Deen (born 1974) is an American Jewish author, essayist, and a critic of ultra-Orthodox and Hasidic Judaism. He is the author of the memoir All Who Go Do Not Return (2015), and is a regular columnist at The Forward. He is also the founding editor of Unpious, a journal for voices critical of Hasidic lifestyle and beliefs.

Career

Deen first became known as the author of the blog "Hasidic Rebel,"[1] which he wrote from 2003 until 2012, and which was the subject of a 2003 feature article in the Village Voice.[2] Deen's blog was the first widely read website by a practicing Hasid casting doubt on his religious faith.[3] In 2010, Deen launched the Unpious website along with "Shtreimel," another ex-Hasidic blogger, and has served as its editor throughout. The site was intended as a platform for voices critical of the Hasidic and ultra-Orthodox lifestyle and beliefs.[4]

His memoir, All Who Go Do Not Return, was published in 2015, and chronicles his transition from devout member of the Skver Hasidic sect to secular Jew.[5] Deen's book is part of a subgenre of memoirs by formerly Orthodox writers,[6] and is considered to be one of the best.[7][8]

Deen is a regular columnist at The Forward, and writes widely on the intersection of Hasidic and secular life, including articles in the New Republic, Salon, and Tablet. His work is also seen to be highly critical of the ultra-Orthodox lifestyle and worldview.[9]

He currently serves as a Board member at Footsteps, a New York City organization that assists formerly ultra-Orthodox Jews with transitioning to life outside the Orthodox world.[10]

  • 2016 Great Lakes Colleges Association New Writers Award for Creative Non-Fiction
  • 2017 Prix Médicis essai for Celui qui va vers elle ne revient pas (All Who Go Do Not Return)[11]

Personal life

Deen spent his early life among Satmar Hasidim in the Borough Park section of Brooklyn,[12] and joined the Skver sect when he was a teenager, moving to the town of New Square, the sect's headquarters, to settle after marriage. He was married in 1993, and has five children.[13] In 2005, Deen was expelled from New Square by its leaders for holding heretical views, and several years later divorced his wife and left the Hasidic lifestyle entirely. He is mostly estranged from his children, who have remained among the Skverer Hasidim in New Square, N.Y.[13][14] He currently lives in Brooklyn New York [3]
