I received an e-mail from a young lady whose brother is ‘flipping out™’. Her parents, trying to understand what is going on in their son’s mind, would like to get into contact with someone who can explain this BT phenomenon to them in their own secular terminology.
The primary idea is not to convince their son to leave the OJ idea, but how to deal with their son and to understand ‘WTF is going on’.
Her parents live in Orange County, California. Since I live in Europe (time difference) and since I can’t talk at work or home about these issues, I am looking for volunteers to lend an ear to these people and possibly advise them in some areas.
If you are interested and kind enough to help out, please contact me at undercoverkofer (at) gmail.com.
two book recommendations, based on reviews:

and this. I have a book on women by Steinsaltz. If they want a peek at some of what he might be doing, this might help: http://www.amazon.com/Teshuvah-Guide-Newly-Observant-Jew/dp/0029311500/ref=pd_sim_b_5
black becomes a rainbow by feldheim.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it's still in print thought , since it was by a frum publisher and it's so negative about the frum daughter
I'd love to talk to them. You can refer them to my blog, my email is in on my profile.
ReplyDeletekisarita- thank you! I am trying to access your blog but it says i have to be invited..
ReplyDeleteI know I'm a new poster, but as someone who went the secular->BT->Not Orthodox route, I think I can help out. I'm also in Los Angeles, which helps with the distance issue.
