"In this book, Marta F. Topel utilizes anthropological research to analyze both macro
and micro social processes among secular and Orthodox Jews in Israel. She covers such
complex issues as the tensions between the two groups and the radicalization of Israeli
Jewish Orthodoxy in the last thirty years. The book also delves into micro social
processes such as the long and tortured journey of Israeli religious dissidents and
the role of non-governmental organizations in helping these dissidents adapt to secular
society. In addition, she discusses the symbolic and ritual paraphernalia that dissidents
must become familiar with in order to be successful in their new lives as secular
Jews. Jewish Orthodoxy and Its Discontents approaches the phenomenon of religious
dissidence within the Jewish Israeli Orthodoxy through the lens of the inverse phenomenon:
religious conversion to Jewish Orthodoxy. This outlook is based on theoretical ground
as both events constitute a radical change of the ideology of both the social actors
and the social structures they have abandoned."--Page 4 of cover
