Ex-hassidic woman who jumped off roof blasts Orthodox in last letter

A Jewish woman in New York whose suicide precipitated a fierce debate over the treatment of those seeking to leave ultra-Orthodoxy this week sent a letter to a close friend lambasting religion and recounting her difficulties in fitting into the Belz hassidic sect as a child in Brooklyn only days before her death. Faigy Mayer, 30, climbed a ledge and jumped Monday evening during a party on the roof of the 230 Fifth restaurant and lounge in the Flatiron District, just south of midtown.
