{"product_id":"studying-hasidism-marcin-wodzinski-9781978804210","title":"Studying Hasidism: Sources, Methods, Perspectives","description":"Hasidism, a Jewish religious movement that originated in Poland in the eighteenth century, today counts over 700,000 adherents, primarily in the U.S., Israel, and the UK. Popular and scholarly interest in Hasidic Judaism and Hasidic Jews is growing, but there is no textbook dedicated to research methods in the field, nor sources for the history of Hasidism have been properly recognized. \u003ci\u003eStudying Hasidism\u003c\/i\u003e, edited by Marcin Wodziński, an internationally recognized historian of Hasidism, aims to remedy this gap. The work's thirteen chapters each draws upon a set of different sources, many of them previously untapped, including folklore, music, big data, and material culture to demonstrate what is still to be achieved in the study of Hasidism. Ultimately, this textbook presents research methods that can decentralize the role community leaders play in the current literature and reclaim the everyday lives of Hasidic Jews.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marcin Wodzinski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1978804210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781978804210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/09\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Marcin Wodzinski","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43940511940863,"sku":"9781978804210","price":51.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_1602422b-5a28-4830-bbaf-6cb84e12a381.jpg?v=1681447624","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/studying-hasidism-marcin-wodzinski-9781978804210","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
