{"product_id":"contemporary-israeli-haredi-society-kimmy-caplan-9781032325583","title":"Contemporary Israeli Haredi Society: Profiles, Trends, and Challenges","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis edited volume offers profiles of contemporary Israeli Haredi (i.e., Jewish Ultra-Orthodox) society from several disciplinary points of view, resisting a generalized approach and examining the different, sometimes competing currents, that define it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt is argued that Haredi society has undergone a process of rejuvenation in recent history: demographically, it has experienced steady and consistent growth; on the Israeli political stage, Haredi parties have become increasingly influential; and culturally, the Haredi presence is increasingly felt in Israeli news media, popular movies, and TV series. Each of the chapters in the book focuses on a particular topic and combines research findings with an assessment of the current state of the field. These topics encompass Haredi ideology, politics, military service, education, geography, the media, and healthcare - together, they paint a complex picture of Haredi society as one of contradictory layers, dimensions, and aspects.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMaking sense of contemporary Haredi society is critical for anyone interested in understanding Israeli society as a whole, but the book will also appeal to historians of religion, scholars of contemporary conservative enclave religious societies and cultures, and those who focus on Jewish studies in the modern era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kimmy Caplan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032325585\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032325583\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/29\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Kimmy Caplan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44491526078719,"sku":"9781032325583","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9cd173ba-e849-4017-bf13-90604605a0b5.jpg?v=1699451700","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/contemporary-israeli-haredi-society-kimmy-caplan-9781032325583","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
