- Community in Transition (1961), which traced developments in
- Jewish Williamsburg from before the postwar Hasidic
- immigration. In this book the emphasis is on the leading role
- of Satmar and its Rebbes. It is based on written surveys and
- interviews, and includes many quotations from, and descriptions
- of, ordinary Hasidim as well as leaders of the community. This
- study includes much information on the Satmar community, from
- the family (Chapter 4) to the broader social structure (Chapter
- 5) to interactions with the outside world through political and
- economic activity (Chapters 2 and 8). A hagiographic biography
- of the late Rebbe is also included (Appendix B). Kranzler
- writes with unrestricted admiration for Satmar; he dismisses as
- unimportant the tensions around the succession of the new Rebbe
- as well as other potentially controversial issues. (Rabbi

- account of Hasidic life in Williamsburg that is still largely
- applicable today. It mentions Satmar by name only in passing,
- but most of what is said here in general can be applied to
- Satmar specifically. The book focuses on the facets of Hasidic
- life most likely to strike an outsider as strange, providing
- useful context in terms of underlying values and historical
- background. It gives little sense of individuals, but paints
- striking pictures of social types, especially in Chapter 7,
- "The Social Stratification of the Hasidic Community". It also
- conveys a sense of Hasidic voices through translations of
- newspaper advertisements, circular letters from impoverished
- rabbis, and the like. The mingling of religious concerns with
- daily life is described engagingly, especially the multiple
- effects of strictness about kashrut (175-212). Only the
- historical background (in Chapters 1-5) is a little narrowly
- focused, and could give the impression that all Hasidim are
- from Hungary and live in Williamsburg. (Rabbi Justin Jaron

- Island in the City (1972); each of the original chapters is
- followed by a supplement taking stock of changes in the
- intervening years. It is based on interviews and impressions
- from time spent in the community. It presents pictures in broad
- strokes more than detailed analysis. This book gives fuller
- treatment to historical background and religion than Kranzler.
- The book evinces admiration for Satmar but has a more critical
- eye than Kranzler; in particular, this book gives greater
- weight to internal struggles in the community following the
- succession of the new Rebbe, and to changes which may result
- from this (such as greater independence from the Rebbe in
- individual decision-making). It also identifies indications of
- slow and subtle Americanization. (Rabbi Justin Jaron Lewis)]
