Having grown up in the zeitgeist that proclaimed, “If it feels good, do it”, was she really ready to live the life of “rituals, rules, and restraints” that the Torah prescribed? The Skeptic and the Rabbi is a rare memoir with historical depth, spirituality, and intelligent humor. Gruen speaks with refreshing honesty about what it means to remain authentic to yourself while charting a new yet ancient spiritual path at odds with the surrounding culture....

I’d recommend this book for a peek into observant Judaism (although it by no means represents all of Orthodoxy)

I really enjoyed the book overall. I appreciated the author’s description of her struggles with, and learning about, becoming more observant. I valued her insight into the journey. My only issue was the fact that near the end of the book the tone turned decidedly self-righteous and a bit smug in describing her interactions with non-orthodox Jews.
