Orthodoxy in American Jewish Life1
ORTHODOXY IN AMERICAN JEWISH LIFE1 by CHARLES S. LIEBMAN INTRODUCTION • DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS OF ORTHODOXY • EARLY ORTHODOX COMMUNITY • UNCOMMITTED ORTHODOX • COM- MITTED ORTHODOX • MODERN ORTHODOX • SECTARIANS • LEAD- ERSHIP • DIRECTIONS AND TENDENCIES • APPENDLX: YESHIVOT PROVIDING INTENSIVE TALMUDIC STUDY A HIS ESSAY is an effort to describe the communal aspects and institutional forms of Orthodox Judaism in the United States. For the most part, it ignores the doctrines, faith, and practices of Orthodox Jews, and barely touches upon synagogue hie, which is the most meaningful expression of American Orthodoxy. It is hoped that the reader will find here some appreciation of the vitality of American Orthodoxy. Earlier predictions of the demise of 11 am indebted to many people who assisted me in making this essay possible. More than 40, active in a variety of Orthodox organizations, gave freely of their time for extended discussions and interviews and many lay leaders and rabbis throughout the United States responded to a mail questionnaire. A number of people read a draft of this paper. I would be remiss if I did not mention a few by name, at the same time exonerating them of any responsibility for errors of fact or for my own judgments and interpretations. The section on modern Orthodoxy was read by Rabbi Emanuel Rackman. The sections beginning with the sectarian Orthodox to the conclusion of the paper were read by Rabbi Nathan Bulman. Criticism and comments on the entire paper were forthcoming from Rabbi Aaron Lichtenstein, Dr. Marshall Ski are, and Victor Geller, without whose assistance the section on the number of Orthodox Jews could not have been written. -

P. ter Keurs, door Femke van der Werf (1019155) Leiden, juni 2013 ‘In elke taal zingt de gedachte van een volk en de ziel van een mens.’ ~Johan Daisne~ Voorwoord Na bijna drie jaar bachelor studente Culturele Antropologie en Ontwikkelingssociologie en Honours studente Sociale Wetenschappen aan Universiteit Leiden te zijn geweest, nadert het einde daarvan nu in een hoog tempo. De in die periode opgedane kennis en ervaring vormen het fundament voor deze bachelor scriptie die ik tevens heb aangegrepen om enigszins te experimenteren met mijn interesse in een antropologische kijk op taal. Naast dat de scriptie functioneert als een proeve van bekwaamheid, heb ik het schrijven ervan beschouwd als een waardevolle gelegenheid om ervaring op te bouwen met het doen van wetenschappelijk onderzoek. Hierbij bevond ik mij in de bevoorrechte positie om prof. Pieter ter Keurs als begeleider te mogen hebben. Ik ben hem zeer erkentelijk voor de tijd die hij voor mij heeft vrijgemaakt en de verhelderende feedback die ik van hem heb mogen ontvangen. Tevens voor het delen van zijn rijke ervaring en kennis met mij wil ik aan hem bij deze mijn dank uitspreken. Voor het mij voorzien van deze begeleider, het prettige overleg over enkele praktische aangelegenheden en het in goede banen leiden van het scriptieproces wil ik daarnaast de coördinatrice van de bachelor scriptie, dr. Tessa Minter, vanaf deze plaats hartelijk bedanken. -
