The book 'The End of Love' by Tamara Tenenbaum explores the complex intersection of culture, religion, and personal identity within a Jewish Orthodox community. The author reflects on her upbringing in Buenos Aires in a Modern Orthodox family and compares it with the more insular Hasidic Jewish communities. Through personal anecdotes and cultural observations, she examines themes of community, tradition, and the quest for autonomy and understanding in a broader societal context. The narrative delves into the challenges of balancing cultural expectations with personal desires, particularly in terms of education, relationships, and self-expression. Tenenbaum's work is intended for readers interested in cultural studies, religious identity, and personal memoirs, offering insights into the nuanced realities of growing up within a tightly-knit religious community.

A Well-Worn Tallis for a New Ceremony is a study of contemporary ultra-Orthodox religiosity in Israel. This book analyzes the ongoing reconstruction of Haredi culture in Israel, a process which has been spurred on by the challenges of modernity, the worldwide resurgence of religion, and the strong sway of Israeliness. Despite its founders' and the present leadership's long-standing eff orts to establish and buttress a community enclave, various modern trends and state institutions, such as secularization, consumerism, feminism, and the military, are having a profound impact on the yeshiva world. In other words, modernity is making inroads into the Jewish state's Haredi "ghetto" and transforming many aspects of everyday life. Over the course of her extended research on this community, Stadler has discerned changes in several key areas, including religious life; the family structure; and the community's interface with government authorities and the rest of the populace. Her book sheds light on all of these developments.

Written by one of this country's 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.
