"She wrote a book that I, when it first came out, I actually bought it and own it. And I really loved it. It is called Mitzvah Girls, Bringing Up the Next Generation of Hasidic Jews in Brooklyn."

"Actually, my dissertation research, and that's what became Mitzvah Girls, that's what became the book Mitzvah Girls, was written at a time during anthropology. I knew I was interested in linguistic anthropology and the study of language and culture, but I entered graduate school at a time when anthropology, much like now actually, was doing a lot of self-examination about the ways that it othered exotic people far away. And so one of my motivations in choosing to work with ultra-Orthodox Jews in New York, where I'm from, was really to not study myself so much, but to study a community of which I was part of more generally historically."

"So I spoke to Rebbe. Rebbe, that I had in Queens, that's how much I said. I spoke to him about it, you know. I told him, like, what's the matter with him?"
