New blog on the block: Ba'al Tshuvas Anonymous.
Hopefully we can all learn something from it.
edit: it should, but probably doesn't, go without saying that I am not thrilled with the other title "off the derech". But I do contend with some of the apparent excesses in the kiruv world from a failure to articulate an intelligent Orthodoxy that holds up to scrutiny. Much good is done, apparently, but also much harm. Hopefully this blog will result in some constructive criticism of the ways that Orthodoxy has tried to attract outsiders and result in improvement--and in any case, one person's honest thoughts about his true experiences are what they are.
