Examining the relationship between Judaism as a religious culture
and kibbutz life, this is a ground-breaking work in the research of
Judaism.
The book takes as its point of departure the historical fact that
it was Orthodox pioneers of German origin, in contrast to their
Eastern European counterparts, who successfully developed religious
kibbutz life. Employing sociological concepts and methods, the
author examines the correlations between two evolutionary phases in
kibbutz development and two modes of Judaism: the rational Halakhic
and the emotive Hassidic modes. In doing this, he explores the
relationship between two diverse dispositions towards the divinity
- the transcendent and the immanent - and two diverse modes of the
self and their related communities.
This innovative and insightful work will be of essential interest
to scholars of the sociology of religion, Jewish studies, modern
Jewish history and Israel's national history, and will also
interest those more broadly engaged with theology and religious
studies.
