Shulem Deen is an American writer who grew up in the Skverer Hasidic community in New York. His work explores religious faith, doubt, belonging, and the costs of leaving a tightly knit religious world.

Deen writes about the tensions between individual freedom and communal tradition, drawing on his own experience to illuminate a world often unfamiliar to outsiders.
