In Jewish Radical Ultra-Orthodoxy Confronts Modernity, Zionism and
Women's Equality, Motti Inbari undertakes a study of the culture
and leadership of Jewish radical ultra-Orthodoxy in Hungary,
Jerusalem and New York. He reviews the history, ideology and gender
relations of prominent ultra-Orthodox leaders Amram Blau
(1894-1974), founder of the anti-Zionist Jerusalemite Neturei
Karta, and Yoel Teitelbaum (1887-1979), head of the Satmar Hasidic
movement in New York. Focussing on the rabbis' biographies, the
author analyzes their enclave building methods, their attitude to
women and modesty, and their eschatological perspectives. The
research is based on newly discovered archival materials, covering
many unique and remarkable findings. The author concludes with a
discussion of contemporary trends in Jewish religious
radicalization. Inbari highlights the resilience of the current
generations' sense of community cohesion and their capacity to
adapt and overcome challenges such as rehabilitation into
potentially hostile secular societies.
