The prime change is what is often described as 'the swing to \u003cbr\u003ethe right', a marked increase in ritual stringency, a rupture in patterns of \u003cbr\u003ebehaviour that has had major consequences not only for Jewish society but also \u003cbr\u003efor the nature of Jewish spirituality. For Haym Soloveitchik, the key feature \u003cbr\u003eat the root of this change is that, as a result of migration to the 'New Worlds' of England, the US, \u003cbr\u003eand Israel and acculturation to its new surroundings, American \u003cbr\u003eJewry--indeed, much of the Jewish world-- had to reconstruct religious practice \u003cbr\u003efrom normative texts: observance could no longer be transmitted mimetically, on \u003cbr\u003ethe basis of practices observed in home and street. In consequence, behaviour \u003cbr\u003eonce governed by habit is now governed by rule. This new edition allows the \u003cbr\u003eauthor to deal with criticisms raised since the essay, long established as a \u003cbr\u003eclassic in the field, was originally published, and enables readers to gain a \u003cbr\u003efuller perspective on a topic central to today's Jewish world and its \u003cbr\u003edevelopment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaym Soloveitchik is the Merkin Family Research Professor at Yeshiva University, New York, and the former director of the School of Jewish Studies at the Institute of Advanced Studies, Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
