Four Perspectives on Contemporary American Judaism
Summoned
Summoned, by Iddo Tavory, is an excellent example of a contemporary symbolic interactionist ethnography. It rests upon a model that moves beyond tired debates about structure and agency to highlight the numerous ways by which people are active agents in the ongoing process of producing their lives through exchanges in particular social contexts. People live within, or choose to participate in, social institutions that provide them with opportunit…
The Men's Section
It'S In My Genes
During the 19th and early 20th centuries, an era when immigrant groups were seen as divisible into races with distinct physical and mental traits, American Jews thought of themselves as a race. In the post-Holocaust era, however, racial language was eschewed, and American Jews instead adapted terms such as “community” and “ethnicity.” Our research on unsynagogued Jews and adult children of Jewish intermarriage, however, revealed that many contemp…
Characters in Search of a Script
We use a case study of individuals who leave ultra-Orthodox Judaism to illustrate that essential characteristics of the institutions they leave, such as their degree of encapsulation, shape both processes and narratives of identity change. Through examining the narratives of these exiters and comparing them to the literature on conversion into strict religious groups, we find that there is more institutional support for conversion into a group th…
Ascription, Choice, and the Construction of Religious Identities in the Contemporary United States
Within the past 15 years, sociological studies of religion have emphasized the chosen, achieved nature of religious identities and have deemphasized ascription or tribalism as the basis of Americans' construction of religious selves. The accounts many people develop in narrating their religious life experiences, however, often combine notions of ascription and achievement in ways scholars have not clearly conceptualized. This article develops an …
Beyond the Synagogue Walls
For most of the twentieth century, the study of religion in the United States has focused on institutionally and denominationally based religious groups, behaviors, and beliefs. By keeping institutional religion at the center of our research, students of religion have limited the understanding of the various meanings that individuals may attribute to their religious practices. An institutional focus marginalizes the diverse and syncretic nature o…

Tradition in a Rootless World
The past two decades in the United States have seen an immense liberalization and expansion of women's roles in society. Recently, however, some women have turned away from the myriad, complex choices presented by modern life and chosen instead a Jewish orthodox tradition that sets strict and rigid guidelines for women to follow. Lynn Davidman followed the conversion to Orthodoxy of a group of young, secular Jewish women to gain insight into thei…
Accommodation and Resistance to Modernity
This article presents a case study of how two particular religious groups — a modern Orthodox and a Lubavitch Chassidic Jewish community — construct their religious worlds in a modern society. A detailed analysis of the religious teachings that each “traditional” religious group presents to newcomers reveals their distinct solutions to the tensions between modernity and tradition. The analysis highlights their responses to several features of mod…
