Download or read book The Spiritual Transformation of Jews Who Become Orthodox written by Roberta G. Sands and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2019-06-01 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A psychological study, based on extensive interview data, of Jewish adults who take on a devout lifestyle. Spiritual transformation is the process of changing one’s beliefs, values, attitudes, and everyday behaviors related to a transcendent experience or higher power. Jewish adults who adopt Orthodoxy provide a clear example of spiritual transformation within a religious context. With little prior exposure to traditional practice, these baalei teshuvah (literally, “masters of return” in Hebrew) turn away from their former way of life, take on strict religious obligations, and intensify their spiritual commitment. This book examines the process of adopting Orthodox Judaism and the extensive life changes that are required. Based on forty-eight individual interviews as well as focus groups and interviews with community outreach leaders, it uses psychological developmental theory and the concept of socialization to understand this journey. Roberta G. Sands examines the study participants’ family backgrounds, initial explorations, decisions to make a commitment, spiritual struggles, and psychological and social integration. The process is at first exciting, as baalei teshuvah make new discoveries and learn new practices. Yet after commitment and immersion in an Orthodox community, they face challenges furthering their education, gaining cultural knowledge, and raising a family without parental role models. By showing how baalei teshuvah integrate their new understandings of Judaism into their identities, Sands provides fresh insight into a significant aspect of contemporary Orthodoxy. “Sands’s judicious and comprehensive application of social science theories to the study of Jewish returnees provides a unique contribution to the social scientific study of religion.” — Roberta Rosenberg Farber, coeditor of Jews in America: A Contemporary Reader
