Die in Englisch verfasste Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Habad Bewegung und deren Agieren in Israel. Der Verfasser definiert zunächst die Geschichte und die Grundlagen des ultraorthodoxen Judentums, des Hassidimus und der Habad Bewegung. Dabei werden primär die religiösen Elemente betont, die teilweise einen paradoxen Charakter haben. Besonders die Verbindung mit Gott, dvekut, und die religiös notwendige Selbstaufhebung, bitul, werden erklärt. Danach richtet sich das Augenmerk auf drei politisch relevante Bereiche, die nicht nur für die Habadniks von höchster religiöser Bedeutung sind. Zunäch

Habad --- Religion and politics --- Religion and state --- Ultra-Orthodox Jews --- Chabad --- Lubavitch-Chabad --- Hasidism --- Hasidim

Le Talmud, objet de toutes les méprises, est depuis deux mille ans au cœur de la vie juive traditionnelle. Livre unique, il a subi, à l'image de son peuple, les errances, les persécutions, les métamorphoses. Pierre-Henry Salfati, lui-même talmudiste, nous fait découvrir à travers tous les continents et toutes les époques comment le Talmud a généré communautés et individus incroyables, aux histoires surprenantes et uniques : les génies qui connaissent chaque centimètre carré de ses milliers de pages par cœur, les employés de Manhattan qui l'étudient chaque matin clans le train, les hassidim messianiques de Jérusalem, les collectionneurs fous... Parmi cette galerie fantastique, le livre est lui-même un personnage à part entière. On découvre ainsi des histoires de faux traités, d'autodafés, de cimetières livresques, de controverses avec le Ciel, d'imprimeries babéliennes, ou encore de divorce royal - celui d'Henri VIII en l'occurrence... De New York à Jérusalem en passant par Paris. Venise ou Worms, Pierre-Henry Salfati nous initie avec bonheur à un monde peu connu, peuplé de figures exubérantes et de mystères historiques. Une vraie belle histoire juive, en somme, clans tous les sens du terme.

The Habad school of hasidism is distinguished today from other hasidic groups by its famous emphasis on outreach, on messianism, and on empowering women. Hasidism Beyond Modernity provides a critical, thematic study of the movement from its beginnings, showing how its unusual qualities evolved. Topics investigated include the theoretical underpinning of the outreach ethos; the turn towards women in the twentieth century; new attitudes to non-Jews; the role of the individual in the hasidic collective; spiritual contemplation in the context of modernity; the quest for inclusivism in the face of prevailing schismatic processes; messianism in both spiritual and political forms; and the direction of the movement after the passing of its seventh rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, in 1994. Attention is given to many contrasts: pre-modern, modern, and postmodern conceptions of Judaism; the clash between maintaining an enclave and outreach models of Jewish society; particularist and universalist trends; and the subtle interplay of mystical faith and rationality. Some of the chapters are new; others, published in an earlier form, have been updated to take account of recent scholarship. This book presents an in-depth study of an intriguing movement which takes traditional hasidism beyond modernity.

A rare look into the lives of Hasidic youthFrom the ardently religious young woman who longs for the life of a male scholar to the young rebel who visits a strip club, smokes pot, and agonizes over her loss of faith to the proud Lubavitcher with a desire for a high-powered career, Stephanie Wellen Levine provides a rare glimpse into the inner worlds and daily lives of these Hasidic girls.Lubavitcher Hasidim are famous for their efforts to inspire secular Jews to become more observant and for their messianic fervor. Strict followers of Orthodox Judaism, they maintain sharp gender-role distinctions.Levine spent a year living in the Lubavitch community of Crown Heights, Brooklyn, participating in the rhythms of Hasidic girlhood. Drawing on many intimate hours among Hasidim and over 30 in-depth interviews, Mystics, Mavericks, and Merrymakers offers rich portraits of individual Hasidic young women and how they deal with the conflicts between the regimented society in which they live and the pull of mainstream American life.This superbly crafted book offers intimate stories from Hasidic teenagers' lives, providing an intriguing twist to a universal theme: the struggle to grow up and define who we are within the context of culture, family, and life-driving beliefs.
