Exploring the lives of ultra-orthodox Jews in the New York area, the book delves into the experiences of those who secretly seek secular knowledge while maintaining ties to their communities. Through ethnographic research, Ayala Fader highlights the challenges faced by these "double-lifers," who navigate complex relationships and ethical dilemmas. The text also discusses the community's awareness of this trend and their institutional responses, including a unique blend of religious therapy and modern psychiatry aimed at addressing doubts and skepticism.
