Hasidim has long been the subject of historical, philosophical, and literary accounts, but it is only in recent years that it has begun to attract the close attention of social scientists.

Industry Reviews

"While there are a few studies of the Hasidim in North America, the range of this book is unmatched in the more recent literature. The essays cover most of the major issues and problems such as the questions of Jewish women in the Hasidim, Jewish culture, politics and social structure, and comparative fundamentalism. It is a substantial contribution of Jewish Studies and anthropology." - Sander L. Gilman, Cornell University

"Hasidim in the United States is clearly an important subject. There is increasing interest in the Hasidic community among other Jews, scholars of religion, and residents of large urban areas. This book is an excellent anthology of current research on Hasidic communities in the United States." - Zalman Alpert, Yeshiva University
