Publisher's Synopsis

An anthropologist's view on Hasidic life in Mea Shearim, Jerusalem. Unlike most studies, this focuses on daily life in an isolated, ascetic community. Not only does the author discuss ideas, but he also deals with such topics as community organisation, social control, religious and political leadership, and attitudes towards the outside world.
