  • Defenders of the Faith: Inside Ultra-Orthodox Jewry

    Janet L Jacobs, Janet Jacobs et al.ARTICLEJournal for the Scientific Study…1995

    In this first in-depth portrait of ultra-Orthodox Jews in Israel today, Samuel Heilman introduces a community that to many may seem to be the very embodiment of the Jewish past.
