Riv-Ellen Prell spent eighteen months of participant observation
field research studying a countercultural havurah to determine why
these groups emerged in the United States during the 1970s. In her
book, she explores the central questions posed by the early havurot
and their founders. She also examines the havurah as a development
of American Judaism, continuing-rather than rejecting-many of the
previous generations' ideas about religion. Combining history and
ethnography, Prell uses current theories about ritual and prayer to
understand men's and women's struggles with their religious
tradition and their desire to create community.
