Description

Explore the deep connection between Jewish identity and sacred texts in The People of the Book by Samuel C. Heilman. Published by Routledge, this study examines how Orthodox Jews maintain their faith through the traditional practice of lernen. By focusing on the ritualized review and study of sacred scrolls rather than physical idols, the author provides a unique look at how religious tradition survives in the modern world. Based on two years of intensive observation, this work follows five study circles located in New York and Jerusalem. It offers a detailed perspective on the drama and fellowship found within these religious communities. This book is an essential resource for those studying anthropology, sociology, and the lived experiences of religious groups.
