Many people in the blogosphere have already posted links to this touching piece, but since it is somewhat in line with the "Better Know a Kofer" series, I figured it would be nice to add it here also, just in case some of my readers might not have seen it.The link is to an audio/visual slideshow narrated by a former Lubavitcher who talks about her feelings of leaving the frum world of Crown Heights. It's part of a series from the New York Times called 'One In 8 Million ', which briefly profiles all sorts of different kinds of people that are living in New York City.
Make sure to also see the comment thread on the piece, which has many additional worthwhile perspectives.
If anyone is interested in meeting Rivkah, I happen to know of an art exhibition that she will be putting on this week. You can email me privately for details.

The Beauty of Chabad is that many of the so called Kofrim come to chabad Houses when they travel around the world and “some” even end up becoming Chabad.

You see, she's an exhibitionist!
It's an interesting and well done piece.
j: not this kofer. If you grow up chabad and leave, you're permanently inoculated against that particular disease.
