Daniel Klein: Why I left Judaism and The West Bank

 

Daniel Klein was born in Jerusalem in 1991 and raised in a West Bank settlement his family settled before his birth. He grew up deep inside the religious-Zionist world, moving through its institutions, youth movements, schools, yeshiva, and the IDF as a tank commander. He holds degrees in business and law from Reichman University and an MBA from Yale.

After nearly thirty years inside, he began telling the truth about what he witnessed and what he inherited. He writes about ideology, betrayal, accountability, and transformation, and the love, connection, and freedom that become possible when hiding ends.
