    This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Housing Studies on Volume 33, 2018. Schelling-Type Micro-Segregation in a Hassidic Enclave of Stamford-Hill Corresponding Author: Dr Shlomit Flint Ashery Email [email protected] Abstract This study examines how non-economic inter- and intra-group relationships are reflected in residential pattern, uses a mixed methods approach designed to overcome the principal weaknesses of existing data sources for understanding micro residential dynamics. Micro-macro qualitative and quantitative analysis of the infrastructure of residential dynamics offers a holistic understanding of urban spaces organised according to cultural codes. The case study, the Haredi community, is composed of sects, and residential preferences of the Haredi sect members are highly affected by the need to live among "friends" – other members of the same sect. Based on the independent residential records at the resolution of a single family and apartment that cover the period of 20 years the study examine residential dynamics in the Hassidic area of Stamford-Hill, reveal and analyse powerful Schelling-like mechanisms of residential segregation at the apartment, building and the near neighbourhood level. Taken together, these mechanisms are candidates for explaining the dynamics of residential segregation in the area during 1995-2015. Keywords Hassidic, Stamford-Hill, Segregation, Residential, London Acknowledgments This research was carried out under a Marie Curie Fellowship PIEF-GA-2012-328820 while based at Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis (CASA) University College London (UCL). 1 1.

  • Introduction Daniel Walden
    introduction Daniel Walden Chaim Potok was a world-class writer and scholar, a Conservative Jew who wrote from and about his tradition and the confl icts between observance and acculturation. With a plain, straightforward style, his novels were set against the moral, spiritual, and intellectual currents of the twentieth century. His characters thought about modernity and wrestled with the core-to-core cul- tural confrontations they experienced when modernity clashed with faith. Potok was able to communicate with millions of people of many religious beliefs all over the world, because, unlike his major predecessors, he wrote from the inside, inclusively. Beginning with Th e Chosen and continuing through Th e Promise, My Name Is Asher Lev, Th e Gift of Asher Lev, Th e Book of Lights, and Davita’s Harp, Potok wrote very American novels. Th ey were understandable and attractive to one and all. As Sheldon Grebstein put it, referring to Th e Chosen, a run- away best seller, the dream of success played out in an improbable but possi- ble “only in America” way, demonstrating that “people can still make good through hard work, . integrity, and dedication,” if also at the cost of occa- sional alienation. Refusing to ignore modern thought, Potok was led to a crisis of faith, which he resolved by embracing both modernity and observant Judaism. In his view, Judaism was a tradition integrating into the American culture, not opposed to it. He kept his focus on working out his characters’ identity as American. Th rough his novels, Potok was a major voice in American literature be cause he was the fi rst Jewish American novelist to open up the Jewish expe- rience to a mass audience, to make that world familiar and accessible as the outside world increasingly became willing to acknowledge that Jews are a multiethnic, multiracial, and multireligious people.

  • The Significance of Martin Buber´S Philosophy of Dialogue And
    The significance of Martin Buber’s philosophy of dialogue and suffering in the overcoming of ‘core-to-core confrontation’ in Chaim Potok’s The Chosen Gustavo SÁNCHEZ CANALES Universidad Complutense de Madrid [email protected] Recibido: 22/3/2010 Aceptado: 6/05/2010 ABSTRACT One of the central issues in Chaim Potok’s works is what he calls ‘core-to-core [culture] confrontation’, that is to say the clash between the core of an individual’s world and the core of another wider world. Specifically, in The Chosen (1967), this confrontation occurs when the core of Danny Saunder’s worldthe son of an ultra-conservative Hasidic leader called Reb Saunderscollides with the core of a more general world in which he livesWestern secular culture. This clash, which results in the confrontation of Reb Saunders and Danny, is largely due to the Reb’s opposition to his son’s wish to study psychoanalysis. In this article, I will focus on how Martin Buber’s philosophy of dialogue facilitates the mutual understanding between two opposing worlds in The Chosen. The conflict is finally resolved when, using Buber’s terms, the characters’ relationships move from an ‘I-It’ to an ‘I-Thou’ relationship. This process of coming to terms with each other inevitably brings about much suffering on Potok’s characters’ part. In the second part of the present article, I will try to show how suffering can transform them into more sympathetic human beings. Keywords: Chaim Potok, The Chosen, core-to-core [culture] confrontation, Martin Buber, I-Thou, I- It, suffering, Hasidism/Hasidic.

    5779 - dbhbn ovrct [email protected] 1 sxc HALACHIC AND HASHKAFIC ISSUES IN CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY 132 - HALACHA AND KABBALA - PART 2 OU ISRAEL CENTER - SUMMER 2019 • In Part 1 we saw how the early Acharonim began to assimilate the Zohar into the halachic process. The positions included: • R’ Elyahu Mizrachi (15C Turkey) - kabbalistic concepts are highly esoteric and, although special individuals are free to adopt them, ordinary people are not required to follow them. • Radvaz (16C Egypt) - kabbalistic practices are acceptable as chumrot, but not where they contradict the Talmud. • Beit Yosef (16C Eretz Yisrael) - incorporates selected halachot of the Zohar into the mainstream halacha. Where the Zohar conflicts with Talmud, the Talmud prevails. However, where the Zohar conflicts with the post-talmudic poskim, the Zohar prevails. • The Rema (16C Poland) - disagrees with the Beit Yosef on the latter point. According to the Rema, the Zohar cannot even override the post-talmudic poskim. • The Maharshal (16C Poland) - is concerned in many cases about the problems of integrating kabbala into halacha. • The Maseit Binyamin (17C Poland) - considers that the Zohar outweighs all the post-Talmudic poskim put together! • R. Ya’akov Emden (18C Germany) - whilst skeptical about the origins of every word of the Zohar, maintains that, although in any dispute between the Zohar and the Bavli we follow the Bavli, where the Bavli is unclear and subject to many interpretations and the Zohar can clarify the position, we are to look to the Zohar. The Zohar should not be rejected in halacha, provided it does not directly contradict the Bavli and we should try wherever possible to reconcile the Zohar and the Bavli.

Although other scholars may have studied Rabbi Nachman, I.B. Singer, Chaim Potok and Pearl Abraham individually, no one has combined their works and examined the depiction of Hasidism through the codes and conventions of different literary genres. Additionally, my research on Judy Brown and Frieda Vizel raises urgent questions about the gendered foundations of Hasidism that are largely elided in the earlier texts.
