Description:
I was born in Jerusalem and raised in a West Bank settlement in a religious-Zionist home, where I lived for the first 22 years of my life.
These essays document how I liberated myself from the ideology, what it cost me to tell the truth, and what I discovered on the other side.
I write about the inherited beliefs, conditioning, trauma, fear, and belonging that shaped what I was able to see, and the process of breaking free.
I offer this collection to those on the outside who want to understand, and to those still inside who are ready to find their way out.
