Written by one of this countryOCOs leading experts on American
Judaism, this book offers a snapshot of Orthodoxy Jewry in the
United States, asking how the community has evolved in the years
since World War II and where it is headed in the future.
Incorporating rich details of everyday life, fine-grained
observations of cultural practices, descriptions of educational
institutions, and more, Samuel Heilman delineates the varieties of
Jewish Orthodox groups, focusing in particular on the contest
between the proudly parochial, contra-acculturative "haredi
"Orthodoxy and the accomodationist modern Orthodoxy over the future
of this religious community. What emerges overall is a picture of
an Orthodox Jewry that has gained both in numbers and intensity and
that has moved farther to the religious right as it struggles to
define itself and to maintain age-old traditions in the midst of
modernity, secularization, technological advances, and the
pervasiveness of contemporary American culture."
