Description

Explore the distinct sociological world of the Hasidim in Brooklyn's Williamsburg through this comprehensive study from Routledge. This scholarly examination investigates how the Hasidic community maintains strict religious and social boundaries, separating themselves not only from non-Jews and secular Jews but also from Orthodox Jews who do not meet their standards for religious intensity and traditional behaviour. The book addresses a central paradox: how does this insular community preserve its cultural identity and religious practices whilst avoiding assimilation into American society? Drawing on sociological analysis, the work explores the mechanisms of social cohesion, religious ideology, and community resilience that enable the Hasidim to thrive well into the twenty-first century despite profound isolation. Essential reading for students of religion, sociology, and Jewish studies seeking to understand minority religious communities and the sociology of belief systems.

Key Features

This Routledge publication provides an in-depth sociological analysis of Hasidic religious practices, ideology, and community structure in Brooklyn.

The study examines how the Hasidim maintain social boundaries between themselves and other Jewish groups based on religious standards and behavioural expectations.

Explores the mechanisms enabling the Williamsburg Hasidic community to survive and flourish whilst resisting cultural assimilation into American society.

Ideal for scholars, students, and readers interested in religion, sociology, anthropology, and the sociology of minority religious communities.
