'This systematic, rigorous analysis of Orthodox Judaism in its encounter with nationalism captures the emergence of the very tensions and fissures that continue to define Orthodox politics today. Mahla's account of the rise of two distinct Orthodoxies - Zionist and non-Zionist - highlights the potency of politicized religion during modernity. It is a major achievement in the field.' Glenn Dynner, author of Yankel's Tavern: Jews, Liquor and Life in the Kingdom of Poland 'Daniel Mahla presents a deep and vital study of Jewish Orthodoxy in times of political ferment, in interwar Poland and in Mandate Palestine. With his wide-ranging telescope, he carefully investigates the larger context: politics inside and outside the Jewish community, religion, economics, and the social dimension of Orthodox Jewry at a time of polarization and intense antisemitism. Because of the rise of religious Orthodoxy in today's Israel, this work matters; it reveals the origins of contemporary Jewish religious life.'
