This week on Unorthodox, we speak with writer Tova Mirvis. Her memoir, The Book of Separation, tells the story of her decision to leave Modern Orthodoxy, a world she re-created vividly for readers in the novels Visible City, The Outside World, and national best-seller The Ladies Auxiliary.

You can hear Stephanie discussing immigration and the American Dream under Trump on the Jan. 29 episode of WNYC Midday, with two-time Unorthodox guest Negin Farsad.

Our next live show is Wednesday, March 21 at the JCC Manhattan. Buy tickets here.
