Shulem Dees was raised to believe that questions are dangerous. As a member of the Skverers, one of the most insular Hasidic sects in the United States, he knows little about the outside world, only that it is to be shunned. Deep'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 traces his loss of faith, while offering an illuminating look at a highly secretive world.
Shulem Deen is a former Skverer Hasid, and the founding editor of Unpious. His work has appeared in the Jewish Daily Forward, Tablet, and Salon. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.
