Los que se van no regresan

A moving and revealing exploration of Hasidic life and one man's struggle with faith and family within this community. Shulem Deen grew up believing that questions are dangerous. As a member of the Skver community, one of America's most isolated Hasidic sects, he knows little about the outside world other than that it should be avoided. They arrange their marriage at the age of eighteen and several children soon follow. Deen's first offense, turning on the radio, is small, but his curiosity leads him to the library and then to the internet. He soon begins a feverish investigation into the principles of his religious beliefs, until, several years later, his faith completely crumbles. Now heretic, he fears being discovered and excluded from the only world he knows. His relationship with his family is at stake, he is forced into a life of deception and begins a long struggle to cling to those he loves the most: his five children. In Those Who Go Don't Come Back, Deen bravely recounts his heartbreaking loss of faith as he offers an enlightening look at a highly secretive world.
