THE DYNAMICS OF BECOMING ORTHODOX: DUTCH JEWISH WOMEN RETURNING TO =
JUDAISM AND HOW THEIR MOTHERS FELT ABOUT IT
by Minny E. Mock- Degen.
Amsterdam: Amphora Books, 2010
Paperback, 315 pages=20
$50.00 through Aug. 8, 2010
ISBN -EAN 978 90 6446 066 1 =20

The return to Judaism or the teshuvah experience emerged in the mid =
1960s when young American Jews became involved in a spiritual search =
that eventually led them to discover and embrace Orthodox Judaism. It =
signaled the start of what would become a widespread phenomenon. Within =
a relatively short period, thousands of Jews in the United States, =
Israel, Britain, France, the Soviet Union, South Africa, the Netherlands =
and other countries committed themselves to Orthodox Judaism and became =
observant. A Jew who returns to Orthodox Judaism is known as a ba'al =
teshuvah; for a woman the term is ba'alat teshuvah (plural forms: =
ba'alei and ba'a lot teshuvah respectively).This study of ba'alot =
teshuvah in the Netherlands is a qualitative and exploratory =
investigation on how Dutch returnee women and their mothers experienced, =
perceived and interpreted the return to Orthodox Judaism. In short: How =
do these returnees and their mothers feel about the religious =
intensification? In this context the research also pays attention to the =
ways in which the Dutch returnees became involved with Orthodox Judaism, =
how they found their religious niche and whether their becoming Orthodox =
impacted on intergenerational and multigenerational relationships. =20
=20
Minny Evaline Mock-Degen (1945) grew up in the Netherlands, studied =
cultural anthropology at the University in Amsterdam, and taught at SOSA =
(Stichting tot Opleiding Sociale Arbeid). In 1985 she emigrated with her =
family to Israel, where she started volunteering at a hotline for =
Orthodox woman and participated in a graduate program in clinical =
sociology at Neve Yerushalayim, under the auspices of the University of =
Texas. She later joined the research team of a pilot study in Israel =
which sought to explore how ba'a lot teshuvah (woman returnees) and =
their secular mothers perceived the religious intensification and how it =
impacted on family relations. This participation led to undertaking =
research among Dutch returnees and their mothers which resulted in a =
doctorate thesis (2006) at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.=20
=20
This book is a revised and expanded version of Minny Mock's doctorate =
thesis. =20
