520 8  Settled in the mid-1970s by a small contingent of Hasidic 
       families, Kiryas Joel is an American town with few 
       parallels in Jewish history-but many precedents among 
       religious communities in the United States. This book 
       tells the story of how this group of pious, Yiddish-
       speaking Jews has grown to become a thriving insular 
       enclave and a powerful local government in upstate New 
       York. While rejecting the norms of mainstream American 
       society, Kiryas Joel has been stunningly successful in 
       creating a world apart by using the very instruments of 
       secular political and legal power that it disavows. Nomi 
       Stolzenberg and David Myers paint a richly textured 
       portrait of daily life in Kiryas Joel, exploring the 
       community's guiding religious, social, and economic norms.
       They delve into the roots of Satmar Hasidism and its 
       charismatic founder, Rebbe Joel Teitelbaum, following his 
       journey from nineteenth-century Hungary to post-World War 
       II Brooklyn, where he dreamed of founding an ideal Jewish 
       town modeled on the shtetls of eastern Europe. Stolzenberg
       and Myers chart the rise of Kiryas Joel as an official 
       municipality with its own elected local government. They 
       show how constant legal and political battles defined and 
       even bolstered the community, whose very success has 
       coincided with the rise of political conservatism and 
       multiculturalism in American society over the past forty 
       years.
