Description

Explore a deep sociological study of the Hasidic community in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. This work examines how this specific group maintains its unique identity by creating a social boundary between themselves and others. The text looks at how they separate from non-Jews and even from other Orthodox Jews who do not meet their specific standards of religious intensity and behavior. This book addresses the central question of how a community can maintain such strict social isolation and avoid assimilation into American culture while continuing to thrive well into the twenty-first century. It provides a detailed look at the religious ideology and traditional behaviors that define this group. For students and readers interested in the sociology of religion and anthropology, this Routledge publication offers a clear perspective on how social walls are built and maintained in a modern setting.
