Yoel Finkelman (Ph.D. Hebrew University) is a lecturer in the Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Contemporary Jewry at Bar-Ilan University. He teaches Talmud and Jewish Thought at Midreshet Lindenbaum in Jerusalem, and is the Director of Projects and Research at ATID, a Jerusalem-based organization that provides resources and training for Jewish educational leadership.
"Yoel Finkelman presents a penetrating and fascinating analysis of
the ways in which American “haredi” (“ultraorthodox”) writers and
educators use the broader culture to create and maintain clear
boundaries between themselves and the outside society and culture.
With acute observations and a very effective writing style, this
book is for anyone interested in the areas of American Orthodox
Judaism, Jewish education, religion and media, as well as the
broader social scientific area of culture and cognition."
