Mystics, Mavericks, and Merrymakers
Levine, Stephanie Wellen
Levine spent a year living in the Lubavitch community of Crown Heights, Brooklyn, participating in the rhythms of Hasidic girlhood. Drawing on many intimate hours among Hasidim and over 30 in-depth interviews, Mystics, Mavericks, and Merrymakers offers rich portraits of young women navigating regimented traditions and the pull of mainstream American life.
