In praise of Foreskin’s Lament

If you haven’t read this memoir by Shalom Auslander, I highly recommend it. It’s his loss-of-faith story. He was raised as an Orthodox Jew, and it poignantly and hilariously relates the difficulties he encountered as he left the faith in which he was raised.

I just discovered this video set to the author reading a passage from Foreskin’s Lament:

Anyone with a loss-of-faith experience, no matter the religion, will appreciate Auslander’s tale.
