"Off the Derech," translated as "Off the Path," is the term used within the Orthodox Jewish community to describe those who have left Jewish observance This groundbreaking new book by Faranak Margolese examines why Orthodox Jews stop practicing Judaism, confronting one of the most pressing issues in the religious Jewish world today.

Based on a study which involved over 500 Jews who left Orthodox Judaism, Off the Derech presents the first comprehensive examination of the causes of defection from Orthodox Judaism. It clearly and thoroughly explains those causes, and provides solutions to this increasingly common phenomenon. In doing so, Off the Derech enlightens not only the Orthodox but Jewish parents and leaders from all streams of Judaism as the research provides valuable insights into assimilation and Jewish continuity at large.

This highly anticipated work, over five years in the making, is certain to become the definitive handbook on what is emerging as one of the most difficult issues in the Orthodox and Jewish world today. It is a must-have, invaluable handbook for parents, teachers and Rabbis alike..

Most believers will agree that we are living in the end times. Because of this, it's time to make sure we are "right" with God. And being "right" with Him means we need to ask ourselves some tough questions: Did Yahweh really hand down two separate rules - one set for Jews and one for Gentiles? Does God approve of the fact that we changed His Messiah's name, birthday, and the dates of His death and resurrection? Is He pleased that we are ignoring His commanded seventh day Sabbath and the Biblical Feasts which are not only His "appointed times" but which all foreshadow Jesus - who has so far only fulfilled the first four of the seven? If, as a believer in Christ, I am a part of Israel, shouldn't I be keeping Yahweh's "forever" commands? The answer will surprise you!.
