Black Blue and White [Paperback]
Shachor Kachol Lavan
By: Chaim Zicherman

Product Description
Who are the ultra-Orthodox? Why do they avoid teaching their children math and English? What is the nature of their attitude towards the state and its institutions? What is behind the fierce controversy dividing the ultra-Orthodox street? How did a relatively small group of Israelis manage to become such a powerful political force? Are all Haredim required to study Torah around the clock? What are the class changes experienced by women in the sector?
Black-and-White is the first document of its kind, which seeks to translate the language and the Haredi concepts into a way that will explain the ears of every Israeli. It describes the entire spectrum of Haredi hues, the life cycle and the unique cycle of the community and sets out the ideology that dictates the rigid lifestyle. In addition, the book deals in an original and up-to-date manner in Haredi politics and the crises of leadership, culture and economy, as well as the dramatic developments of the past decade that reshape the image of the Israeli ultra-Orthodox.

About the Author
