Becoming Frum

How Newcomers Learn the Language and Culture of Orthodox Judaism

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

When non-Orthodox Jews become frum (religious), they encounter much more than dietary laws and Sabbath prohibitions. They find themselves in the midst of a whole new culture, involving matchmakers, homemade gefilte fish, and Yiddish-influenced grammar. Becoming Frum explains how these newcomers learn Orthodox language and culture through their interactions with community veterans and other newcomers.
