{"product_id":"b0ckd2jwsd","title":"Contemporary Israeli Haredi Society (Routledge Jewish Studies Series)","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\n\n\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\n\n\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","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":52820901495000,"sku":"YSL36266","price":25.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0835\/3356\/2072\/files\/71ep_LC0uAL._SY1500.jpg?v=1793098558","url":"https:\/\/www.bookmebay.com\/products\/b0ckd2jwsd","provider":"BookMebay","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
