A recommended book for understanding today’s Haredi society
Question
Hello Rabbi!
Is there a book (or books) that the Rabbi recommends about Haredi society that helps one understand its worldview, its different streams, and so on?
Answer
There are many, on all kinds of aspects—historical and ideological. I think that books and articles by Benjamin Brown are good. But this is not my field.
Discussion on Answer
It is recommended to read “The Guide to Haredi Society” by Benjamin Brown.
There is a very comprehensive book by Dr. Haim Zicherman called “Black, Blue and White.”
