      The article discusses the consequences of leaving ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities for both parents and children. It offers information on Footsteps, an organization for individuals who had left Haredi communities founded by Malkie Schwartz, who left the Lubavitch group in Crown Heights. It describes the case of Chavie Weidberger from a Hasidic community in New York City, who got married, had a divorce and decided to leave her community.
