Heretic in the House
Shalom Hartman Institute of North AmericaAmerica has a fascination with Hasidic Jews; they show up frequently in memoirs, in newspapers, and even on Netflix.

- So smart, so good
This was a fascinating series with a really important perspective on the OTD community and the way the rest of the Jewish community (and world) relates to them and their stories.

A deeply insightful look at the narratives that are told about those who have gone off the derech (otd), i.e. left the fold. The host’s passionate point of view as an otd person shines through without limiting the podcast from empathizing with Orthodox society and from seeking an understanding of things that goes beyond the often reductive narratives held by Orthodox society, the “outside world,” and even otd people themselves.
