About
Breaking Frum seeks to center the stories of those who have 'gone OTD.' OTD, or Off the Derech, simply means to stray from the path, or more broadly, to stray from the path which was laid ahead of you. OTD has historically been used as a derogatory word to talk about someone who is leaving their Frum community to seek out that which is 'of the world.' For some folks, this is true, but not so much for others. What does that mean, you might ask? Let's talk about it.
