Özet
 A 2025 AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION STONEWALL HONOR BOOK

In this “searing testament to the strength in claiming one’s destiny” (The Washington Post), a young woman desperately attempts to protect her children and family while also embracing her queer identity in a controlling Hasidic community. This memoir is perfect for fans of Unorthodox and Educated.

Growing up in the Hasidic community of Brooklyn’s Borough Park, Sara Glass knew one painful truth: what was expected of her and what she desperately wanted were impossibly opposed. Tormented by her attraction to women and trapped in a loveless arranged marriage, she ultimately could not conform to her religious upbringing and eventually made the difficult decision to walk away from the world she knew.

Sara’s journey to self-acceptance began with the battle for a divorce and custody of her children, an act that left her on the verge of estrangement from her family and community. Controlled by the fear of losing everything, she forced herself to remain loyal to the compulsory heteronormativity baked into Hasidic Judaism and married again. But after suffering profound loss and a shocking sexual assault, Sara decided to finally be completely true to herself.

Kissing Girls on Shabbat is both an unflinching window into the world of ultra-conservative Orthodox Jewish communities and an inspiring celebration of learning to love yourself that ultimately “leaves a mark” (Publishers Weekly). Biographies & Memoirs Anı

I enjoyed listening to Sara's telling of her story of being brought up in a high-control religion. It was thought provoking and has left me with much to think about.

A very thoughtfully written book. Explores all areas of her life, giving insight into her and her communities lifestyle and beliefs.
So many barriers to break through but some women are born strong and ready to stride forward to protect themselves and their family.

I loved this personal story about growing up in an ultra-observant Jewish sect; the impact of mental illness in families; being queer; and motherhood. The author is a therapist and this means this book has a thoughtful, reflective and balanced quality that is sometimes lacking from such memoirs. The section specifically aimed at clients for example is testament to the the author's professionalism and authenticity. I also loved that it was read by the author.

Brilliant, sensitive, thoughtful queer Jewish memoir
