About this listen

A moving and revealing exploration of Hasidic life and one man's struggles with faith, family, and community.

Shulem Deen was raised to believe that questions are dangerous. As a member of the Skverers, one of the most insular Hasidic sects in the US, he knows little about the outside world - only that it is to be shunned. His marriage at 18 is arranged, and several children soon follow.

Deen's first transgression - turning on the radio - is small, but his curiosity leads him to the library and, later, the Internet. Soon he begins a feverish inquiry into the tenets of his religious beliefs until, several years later, his faith unravels entirely. Now a heretic, he fears being discovered and ostracized from the only world he knows. His relationship with his family at stake, he is forced into a life of deception and begins a long struggle to hold on to those he loves most: his five children.

In All Who Go Do Not Return, Deen bravely traces his harrowing loss of faith while offering an illuminating look at a highly secretive world.

I enjoyed the matter-of-fact, yet expressive narrative. It was non-judgemental and insightful. Narrated by the author, I was drawn into his life and thoughts.

Honest, beautifully expressed and emotive

This is such an interesting and heartfelt book. It really lifted the veil on a community that I knew very little about. The fact that it is Author-narrated lends credence to the storytelling.

Very interesting

From someone who has no detailed knowledge of Jewdaism, but with an interest in it's more stricter form, I found this an excellent read. Whilst it was sad to hear the struggle, it was very thought provoking and left me feeling more informed but with extreme sympathy for Shulem.

Very insightful
