O knihe
Rituals provide public solutions to some types of life crises.
There are crises which beset individuals in modern and
post-modern society which are not easily addressed by traditional
rituals. However, rites have not disappeared in contemporary
society, but have merely changed their guise.
Focusing on the secular society of contemporary Israel, this
collection examines rituals which were invented by communities
and individuals in order to celebrate important turning points.
In contemporary Israel a process of innovation of new rituals was
introduced, either by the adoption of ritual elements from outside
sources or by the transformation of existing Jewish symbols through
the infusion of new contents originating in secular ideology.
The term "personal definitional rites" coined here was introduced
as a tool to interpret rites carried out by individuals undergoing a
change in identity.
