  • 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.

    Praise for Turning Judaism Outward “Wonderfully written as well as intensely thought provoking, Turning Judaism Outward is the most in-depth treatment of the life of the Rebbe ever written. !e author has managed to successfully reconstruct the history of one of the most important Jewish religious leaders of the 20th century, whose life has up to now been shrouded in mystery. A compassionate, engaging biography, this magni"cent work will open up many new avenues of research.” —Dana Evan Kaplan, author, Contemporary American Judaism: Transformation and Renewal; editor, !e Cambridge Companion to American Judaism “In contrast to other recent biographies of the Rebbe, Chaim Miller has availed himself of all the relevant textual sources and archival docu- ments to recount the details of one of the more fascinating religious leaders of the twentieth century. !rough the voice of the author, even the most seemingly trivial aspect of the Rebbe’s life is teeming with interest.... I am con"dent that readers of Miller’s book will derive great pleasure and receive much knowledge from this splendid and compel- ling portrait of the Rebbe.” —Elliot R. Wolfson, Abraham Lieberman Professor of Hebrew and Judaic Studies, New York University “Only truly great biographers have been able to accomplish what Chaim Miller has with this book... I am awed by his work, and am now even more awed than ever before by the Rebbe’s personality and prodi- gious accomplishments.” —Rabbi Dr. Tzvi Hersh Weinreb, Executive Vice President Emeritus, Orthodox Union; Editor-in-Chief, Koren-Steinsaltz Talmud “A fascinating account of the life and legacy of a spiritual master.

  • Using an Eruv to Untable the Boundaries of the Supreme Court's
    USING AN ERUVTO UNTANGLE THE BOUNDARIES OF THE SUPREME COURT'S RELIGION-CLAUSE JURISPRUDENCE Shiraj.Schlaff* INTRODUCTION "[T]he Court's religion-clause jurisprudence . has been de- scribed by scholars of all persuasions, and even by the justices them- selves, as unprincipled, incoherent, and unworkable."1 Lower courts await instruction from the Supreme Court on the ambiguities in relig- ion clause jurisprudence. Controversies that have arisen regarding a procedure that enables Orthodox Jews to carry and push objects out- side on the Sabbath, elucidate many of the holes and incoherencies in First Amendment jurisprudence. This comment uses the creation of an eruv, the name of this procedure, as a case-study to display the ambiguities of current First Amendment law and the need for more specific guidance from the Supreme Court on what the Establish- ment Clause permits and forbids and what the Free Exercise Clause requires. In order to understand the constitutional issues surrounding an eruv, it is important to first grasp the concept of an eruv and its func- tion in Jewish law. According to Jewish law, the Bible prohibits carry- ing from a private domain to a public domain and carrying more than a few feet within a public domain on the Sabbath. A house or apartment is generally considered to be one's private domain. Only a J.D. Candidate, 2003, University of Pennsylvania Law School. I would like to thank Profes- sors Seth Kreimer, Edward Baker, and Sarah Gordon for their insightful discussions. I would also like to thank the law firm of Weil Gotshal & Manges, the editors of the Journal of Constitu- tional Law, and Dr.
