prayer & community - havurah in american judaism

Prayer & Community: The Havurah in American Judaism examines the Havurah movement which emerged in the 1960s as a significant cultural development within Jewish life in America. The book explores how these informal, often lay-led groups redefined traditional Jewish practices and community, reflecting the search for a more personal and participatory form of Judaism. Through detailed analysis, Prell discusses the implications of this movement on mainstream Jewish institutions and American Jewish identity.
