  • Jewish Subcultures Online: Outreach, Dating, and Marginalized Communities ______
    JEWISH SUBCULTURES ONLINE: OUTREACH, DATING, AND MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES ____________________________________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of California State University, Fullerton ____________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in American Studies ____________________________________ By Rachel Sara Schiff Thesis Committee Approval: Professor Leila Zenderland, Chair Professor Terri Snyder, Department of American Studies Professor Carrie Lane, Department of American Studies Spring, 2016 ABSTRACT This thesis explores how Jewish individuals use and create communities online to enrich their Jewish identity. The Internet provides Jews who do not fit within their brick and mortar communities an outlet that gives them voice, power, and sometimes anonymity. They use these websites to balance their Jewish identities and other personal identities that may or may not fit within their local Jewish community. This research was conducted through analyzing a broad range of websites. The first chapter, the introduction, describes the Jewish American population as a whole as well as the history of the Internet. The second chapter, entitled “The Black Hats of the Internet,” discusses how the Orthodox community has used the Internet to create a modern approach to outreach. It focuses in particular on the extensive web materials created by Chabad and Aish Hatorah, which offer surprisingly modern twists on traditional texts. The third chapter is about Jewish online dating. It uses JDate and other secular websites to analyze how Jewish singles are using the Internet. This chapter also suggests that the use of the Internet may have an impact on reducing interfaith marriage. The fourth chapter examines marginalized communities, focusing on the following: Jewrotica; the Jewish LGBT community including those who are “OLGBT” (Orthodox LGBT); Punk Jews; and feminist Jews.

  • Jewish Wigs and Islamic Sportswear: Negotiating Regulations of Religion and Fashion Emma Tarlo Goldsmiths, University of London
    1 Jewish wigs and Islamic sportswear: Negotiating regulations of religion and fashion Emma Tarlo Goldsmiths, University of London Abstract This article explores the dynamics of freedom and conformity in religious dress prescriptions and fashion, arguing that although fashion is popularly perceived as liberating and religion as constraining when it comes to dress, in reality both demand conformity to normative expectations while allowing some freedom of interpretation. The article goes on to trace the emergence of new forms of fashionable religious dress such as the human-hair wigs worn by some orthodox Jewish women and the new forms of Islamic sportswear adopted by some Muslim women. It shows how these fashions have emerged through the efforts of religiously observant women to subscribe simultaneously to the expectations of fashion and religious prescription, which are seen to operate in a relationship of creative friction. In doing so, they invent new ways of dressing that push the boundaries of religious and fashion norms even as they seek to conform to them. Keywords Jewish wigs Islamic sportswear fashion religion burqini sheitel This article explores the dynamics of the relationship between religious clothing regulation and fashion by tracking the evolution of new sartorial inventions that have emerged through religious women’s dual concerns with fashion and faith. It proposes that although religious regulations relating to dress play an obvious role in limiting sartorial possibilities, they also provide a stimulus for creative responses that result in stylistic innovation. Viewed in this light, new forms of fashionable religious dress should be seen not so much as attempts to dilute or circumvent religious prescriptions and regulations, but rather as aspiring to obey the rules of fashion and the rules of religion simultaneously.

  • “He Has Tzitzis Hanging out of His Ponytail”
    3 “He Has Tzitzis Hanging Out of His Ponytail” Orthodox Cultural Practices and How BTs Adapt Them Erev Shabbos (Sabbath Eve) One late Friday afternoon, I arrived at the Greenbaums’ home on Parker Street, near the middle of a block that had become very familiar to me. During my fieldwork, I spent several Shabboses and holidays with various families on this block, where twenty-five of the twenty- eight families are Orthodox Jews. Since traditionally observant Jews do not drive on Shabbos, they either live within walking distance of a synagogue or regularly spend Shabbos with people who do. This block was about a fifteen-minute walk from Shomrei Emunah, the largest shul in Milldale. Wearing a long skirt, long sleeves, high collar, and hat, I opened my bag and took out my thank-you gift, a bottle of kosher wine. Mrs. Greenbaum showed me to the basement, where I would be sleeping, and suggested that I dim the lights so that the room would be illuminated enough for walking around but still dark enough for me to sleep. The laws of Shabbos do not per- mit turning lights on or off. The six Greenbaum daughters who were still living at home— ranging in age from five to twenty—showered and dressed for Shab- bos, and Mrs. Greenbaum and I lit the candles. Mrs. Greenbaum changed into her tailored skirt suit and replaced her cloth head covering with a medium- length sheitel. We then took out some folding chairs and sat on the front lawn to wait for Rabbi Greenbaum to return from shul.

  • Parashat Tetzaveh Do We Need to Wear Black Polyester Skirts for Modesty?
    בס"ד Life Lessons from Rebbetzin’s Heart Parashat Tetzaveh Do We Need to Wear Black Polyester Skirts for Modesty? Struggling with Modesty and ‘Keeping Up with the Kohenses’ Since this this week’s parasha discusses the garments of the Kohanim for glory and for beauty, I thought to share with you some Torah regarding dress-code for women in the Torah. A while back, I received the following question via email: Shalom Rebbetzin, I have a question that I haven’t found the answer to and I hope you can help me out. I’m not sure what to answer people here in Tzfat, who say or imply, that to wear clothing that isn’t exactly like the style of frum from birth people in B’nei Berak, is dishonoring the Torah. They claim I must wear straight polyester suit thingies in drab colors and button up or wear a turtleneck, etc. My husband is sefardi and says as long as I’m keeping by the Shulchan Aruch, they’re just talking nonsense. However, I’m the one facing the constant comments. For example, I might wear a cotton skirt down to the ankle, and they say according to Beis Yaakov schools, etc., that it is too casual and modern and dishonors Torah. If I wear a scarf (exactly) like the one in your picture here, it is too dangly, too casual, too alternative. If I don’t wear collared shirts and pleated skirts four inches above the ankle, I am just too rebellious. I feel that, truthfully, I was once frolicking on the beach in a red bikini, so Hashem knows that for me, this black cotton skirt with its peasant-looking ruffles is really QUITE an improvement! Those ‘Beis Ya’acov’ rules are made for people who never lived that sort of life.

    Performing the Idealized Judaism: Processes of Jewish Missionary Work at Franklin and Marshall College Ilana Meira Weiss Hirsh Independent Study for Departmental Honors in Anthropology Spring 2017 May 1, 2017 1 Introduction Sometime in March, I ventured into the Klehr Center for admittedly self-serving reasons - - in search of a vessel for the smoothie I intended to make as an afternoon snack. “Swag,” as it is colloquially known, consists of branded items, such as reusable mugs, cups, stickers, and other commodities. In this case, these items bear Hillel International’s logo. I caught Dean Lewis on his way out the door, and asked, nervously, if there were any cups left. “Of course! We’d love to have you promote us,” he told me, somewhat facetiously. I quickly wrote this phrase down when I returned home to make that smoothie. Previously, I had no understanding as to the motivations behind the seemingly endless “swag” that Hillel extends to its students. The table with these commodities features prominently when one first walks in, and students must pass it on their way to the dining room on Friday evenings. Clearly, students and administrators engage in this project of religious promotion at Hillel. The Jewish Engagement Fellows (JEFs) are tasked with finding unengaged Jewish students, and encouraging these individuals to attend Hillel. While Chabad may seemingly conform better to conceptualizations of missionary work, both organizations engage in distinct processes of missionization, as I will articulate in this thesis. When I first began formulating this project, it looked quite different than it does now. In Spring 2016, I envisioned an ethnographic inquiry into Jewish political thought and identity on Franklin and Marshall’s campus.
