Dear all,
I am very happy to let you know that my new book that just came out:
Young Men in Israeli Haredi Yeshiva Education: The Scholars Enclave in
Unrest, Brill, 2012.
Abstract:
By looking at the case of Lithuanian yeshivas in Israel, Yohai Hakaks book
explores the internal tensions and dynamics of religious orders during a
stage of a relative loss of charisma, in which the enthusiasm of the
founding generation has diminished. It is the first study to include
participant observations conducted within these institutions, which are the
sacred heart of this segregated and highly religious community. The book
highlights the current crisis these fundamentalist institutions are going
through marked by a dramatic growth in yeshiva dropout rates. It examines
the new and innovative ways the rabbis are trying to respond to the crisis.
As part of these attempts the rabbinical discourse portrays a unique
utopian and egalitarian world governed by supernatural forces and unlimited
spiritual resources and incorporates Western psychological and democratic
ideas.
