The Rebbe: The Life and Afterlife of Menachem Mendel Schneerson
ISBN: 9780691154428 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. From the 1950s until his death in 1994, Menachem Mendel Schneerson--revered by his followers worldwide simply as the Rebbe--built the Lubavitcher movement from a relatively small sect within Hasidic Judaism into the powerful force in Jewish life that it is today. Swept away by his expectation that the Messiah was coming, he came to believe that he could deny death and change history. Samuel Heilman and Menachem Friedman paint an unforgettable portrait of Schneerson, showing how he reinvented himself from an aspiring French-trained electrical engineer into a charismatic leader...

ISBN: 9780765802781 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. An encounter with the death of another is often an occasion when the bereaved need to be sustained in their loss, relieved of the anxiety that the meeting with death engenders, and comforted in their grief. It is a time when those left behind often seek to redress wrongs in themselves or in the relationships that death has shaken and upset. In both collective and individual responses to the trauma of encountering death, we witness efforts to counter the misfortune and to explain the meaning of the loss, to turn memory into blessing, to reconcile life with death, to regenerate life, and...

The People of the Book : Drama, Fellowship and Religion
ISBN: 9780765807472 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 358 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Judaism has long derived its identity from its sacred books. The book or scroll--rather than the image or idol--has been emblematic of Jewish faith and tradition. The People of the Book presents a study of a group of Orthodox Jews, all of whom live in the modern world, engaged in the time-honored practice of lernen, the repeated review and ritualized study of the sacred texts. In preserving one of the activities of Jewish life, Samuel C. Heilman argues, these are the genuine -People of the Book.- For two years, Heilman participated in and observed five study circles in...

Defenders of the Faith: Inside Ultra-Orthodox Jewry
ISBN: 9780520221123 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 430 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this first in-depth portrait of ultra-Orthodox Jews in Israel today, Samuel Heilman introduces a community that to many may seem to be the very embodiment of the Jewish past. To outsiders who stumble upon these neighborhoods and find bearded men in caftans, children with earlocks, and women in long dresses, black kerchiefs and stockings, it may appear that these people still hold fast to every tradition while turning their backs to the contemporary world. But rather than being a relic from the past, ultra-Orthodox Jews, or haredim, are very much part of the contemporary...

Via a participant-observer approach, Synagogue Life analyzes the three essential dimensions of synagogue life: the houses of prayer, study, and assembly.

Portrait of American Jews: The Last Half of the Twentieth Century
ISBN: 9780295974712 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Has America been a place that has preserved and protected Jewish life? Is it a place in which a Jewish future is ensured? Samuel Heilman, long-time observer of American Jewish life, grapples with these questions from a sociologist's perspective. He argues that the same conditions that have allowed Jews to live in relative security since the 1950s have also presented them with a greater challenge than did the adversity and upheaval of earlier years. The second half of the twentieth century has been a time when American Jews have experienced a minimum of prejudice and almost all...

Who Will Lead Us?: The Story of Five Hasidic Dynasties in America
ISBN: 9780520277236 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Hasidism, a movement many believed had passed its golden age, has had an extraordinary revival since it was nearly decimated in the Holocaust and repressed in the Soviet Union. Hasidic communities, now settled primarily in North America and Israel, have reversed the losses they suffered and are growing exponentially. With powerful attachments to the past, mysticism, community, tradition, and charismatic leadership, Hasidism seems the opposite of contemporary Western culture, yet it has thrived in the democratic countries and culture of the West. How? Who Will Lead Us? finds the answers...
