Yehudis Fletcher’s story is at the same time painful and inspiring. Despite resistance, she has dared to remain.”\u003cbr\u003e\nHarriet Wistrich, author of Sister in Law\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYehudis Fletcher was six years old when she decided to find out if there was actually a G-d.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne Sabbath evening, she dared to defy a fundamental rule. She didn’t wash her hands before breaking bread. At the table, Yehudis braced herself for a terrible, biblical being swallowed by the ground or consumed by fire. But nothing happened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt was at this moment that she discovered a spark within that would grow to make her invincible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs the daughter of a rabbi raised in an Orthodox Jewish community, Yehudis struggled to conform to the strict expectations placed upon her and her siblings. Outspoken, curious and desperate to know more about G-d, she felt fenced in by arbitrary rules and questions left unanswered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs she grew older, these restrictions intensified and her questions for G-d hung heavier than ever. Repeatedly let down by those who were supposed to protect her and pushed on to a path that seemed to take her further away from who she really was, she began to yearn for a life where she could embrace all facets of herself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Yehudis’s sexuality came to blows with the expectations of her family and her community, the pressure to inhabit a binary position reached fever pitch. Confronted with either losing the faith she loved or losing herself, Yehudis made the most daring decision of she decided to stay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWry and exhilarating, Chutzpah is a fearless exploration of what is possible when one person simply refuses to choose between abandoning their roots and abandoning themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Books Feri","offers":[{"title":"Premium Paperback","offer_id":45409731674303,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true},{"title":"Premium Hardcover","offer_id":45405279977663,"sku":null,"price":355.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/8148\/0895\/files\/41kre4XOmrL._SY445_SX342_FMwebp.webp?v=1767696660","url":"https:\/\/booksferi.store\/products\/chutzpah-by-yehudis-fletcher","provider":"Books Feri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
