Book excerpt: The ultra-orthodox Jewish world divides the world into two distinct realities; the sphere within and the sphere without. The internal sphere, which I refer to as the Sphere of Holiness is maintained in a sacrosanct manner so that the Sphere of Secularity does not intrude and contaminate the other sphere. The range of figurative walls maintaining these two spheres affects the consciousness and reality of every ultra-orthodox Jew so that this construct is continually brought to conscious awareness. Every member of those who maintain this lifestyle is urged to continually be reminded and reinvigorated in this awareness. Examples of such awareness begin with ultra-orthodox schooling. A child begins religious studies that are exclusive with secular studies either ignored or completed in a way that denies credence or importance. In New York State, the education law contains vague language regarding how a child is to be educated. This vagueness allows those in charge of that school to largely circumvent traditional pedagogy. As the child advances in religious studies, the lack of external exposure coupled with the intensity of study requirements ensures the young man does not stray into forbidden areas that might endanger his sacred standing in the community and be enticed by the larger world. Such study intensifies with each passing grade and year until he is fully conversant with ancient Jewish law and traditions after nearly twenty years of such study. At the same time, however, he will a functional illiterate in the lingua franca of his home country. His female counterpart will not be exposed to such traditional studies because her role is to be the mother and home caretaker, not the scholar. The Jewish tradition not to teach girls and women similar to men derives from the Talmud and the legal determination of Maimonides. This mindset has continued for hundreds of years and is unlikely to change. Despite this limitation on women's education, through Jewish history, exceptional women achieved a high scholarship to the acclaim of their entire community, including men. In fact, one woman, a singular exception, became a Chassidic Rebbe amidst fierce opposition. A modern exception to such a study curriculum is Chabad. Because it has a messianic outreach program, the Chabad couple who establish a Chabad House in diverse cities and countries and are often the only ones running the program, the woman must have the training to lead and know the deeper aspects of Judaism. This book is not only about women's education, but it represents the larger dynamics in how the ultra-orthodox Jewish world bifurcates the reality of its members so that any intrusion from that external world remains in place. An example of such limitation is the ultra-orthodox public denunciations against the use of the internet, use of computers, as against the smartphone unless these devices are programmed so that 'surfing' is not possible. The future of these communities, on a trajectory of high fertility, ensures their future growth. As they populate the United States and other countries, replenishing the numbers lost in the Holocaust, their exposure to and awareness of the world at large will remain extremely limited.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Love your neighbor" is the central obligation of Jewish life. Mussar, a late nineteenth-century Jewish renewal movement, focused on this precept as a means of self-improvement and spiritual growth. Through the practical applications of Mussar, one can learn how to awaken to a spirituality that is compassionate, moral, and generous. In this book, Rabbi Ira Stone provides a contemporary theological framework for understanding Mussar and describes how participation in a Mussar group can offer support and guidance for this powerful spiritual practice.
