While conservative religious denominations often decry gender egalitarianism and liberal society's sexual norms for contributing to this development, many individuals belonging to such denominations are still part of this trend. This book focuses on one such group, Israeli Religious Zionists. Drawing on ethnographic research, Ari Engelberg explains why the numbers of Religious Zionist singles have risen, describes how these adults deal with social marginalization and spiritual challenges, and how the community leadership has responded. On a theoretical level, the book exposes the role that intimacy plays in late modern individualization processes and at the same time offers an in-depth view of Religious Zionist “lived religion”.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart 1: Seeking a Soulmate\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Romantic Love and Marriage in Jewish History and Current Orthodoxy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Singlehood and Gender Relations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Religious Zionist Dating: Seeking Intimacy in a Consumer Culture\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart 1 2: Religious Zionist communities and singles\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Societal Scripts of \"The Good Life\" and Religous Singles Narratives\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Singles, Social Networks, and Communities\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart 3: Singles Religious Observance and Faith\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Sex and Parties, Loneliness and Depression: Spiritual Challenges\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Dealing with Spiritual Challenges\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart 4 Responses to the \"Singles Problem”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 8: Advice and ideology: How rabbis and layleaders attempt to assist singles\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConclusion: Individualization, Intimacy and Religion\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042018197847,"sku":"9781666920338","price":72.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/singlehood-and-religion-the-case-of-israeli-religious-zionist-singles-9781666920338","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
