Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Academic Studies Press is pleased to announce the publication of two new titles in June! A Well-Worn Tallis for a New Ceremony: Trends in Israeli Haredi Culture By Nurit Stadler ISBN 9781936235827 174 pp. (cloth) $79.00 / £37.50 A Well-Worn Tallis for a New Ceremony is a study of contemporary ultra-Orthodox religiosity in Israel. This book analyzes the on-going reconstruction of Haredi culture in Israel, a process which has been spurred on by the challenges of modernity, the worldwide resurgence of religion, and the strong sway of Israeliness. Despite its founders and the present leaderships long-standing efforts to establish and buttress an community enclave, various modern trends and state institutions, such as secularization, consumerism, feminism, and the military, are having a profound impact on the yeshiva world. In other words, modernity is making inroads into the Jewish states Haredi ghetto and transforming many aspects of everyday life. Over the course of her extended research on this community, Stadler has discerned changes in several key areas: religious life; the family structure; and the communitys interface with government authorities and the rest of the populace. Her book sheds light on all these developments. Series: Jewish Identity in Post-Modern Society Granddaughters of the Holocaust: Never Forgetting What They Didnt Experience By Nirit Gradwohl ISBN 9781936235889 200 pp. (cloth) $79.00 / £37.50 Granddaughters of the Holocaust: Never Forgetting What They Didnt Experience delves into the intergenerational transmission of trauma to the granddaughters of Holocaust survivors. Although members of this generation did not endure the horrors of the Holocaust directly, they did absorb the experiences of both their parents and grandparents. Ten women participated in psychodynamic interviews about their inheritance of Holocaust knowledge and memory, and their responses to this legacy. These women provided startling evidence for the embodiment of Holocaust residue in the ways they approached daily tasks of living and being. The resulting narratives revealed that unfathomable events are inevitably transmitted to, and imprinted upon, succeeding generations. The implications for healing processes through the emotional work of resilience are explored.
