The Brain

Imagine the consternation; you are a member of an orthodox Jewish family and you and another family member are diagnosed with larvae of a pork tapeworm in your brain. You have recurrent seizures as a result. Ridiculous? Not for members of a Jewish community in New York where a Mexican domestic worker harbouring a Taenia solium tapeworm had apparently contaminated the family's food with eggs from her tapeworm1.

European Family

This chapter analyses discussions of the Jewish family that are based on the assumption that the stereotypical Jewish family in eastern Europe is the only single model. It mentions Shaul Stampfer, who rejects the notion that the east European family was patriarchal and demonstrates multi-generational families that were found among farmers. It also describes the American Jewish family in general and the American Orthodox Jewish family in particular. The chapter analyzes recent evidence that questions whether the values of the larger American Jewish community with respect to marriage and family remain as strong as they once were. It reviews the Pew Religious Landscape Survey in 2008 that showed that rates of marriage for Jews and mainline Protestants were identical, and only very slightly lower than that of Catholics.

Post Disaster

AbstractHurricane Sandy hit the East Coast of the United States on 29 October 2012, flooding hundreds of thousands of homes and costing over $50 billion in property damage. After Hurricane Sandy residents and communities required food, water and clothing, and in the weeks and months following, there was demand for cleaning supplies, building materials and contracting services. Polycentric orders, because of their flexibility and access to local knowledge, are well suited to respond to the challenges of disaster. We highlight the importance of privately provided social services within polycentric orders and illustrate that the private provision of these services was important to post-disaster recovery in the Orthodox Jewish community in the Rockaway Peninsula in New York.

The Revolution

Edward Lasker, German parliamentarian, was born on August 14, 1829, in Jaroczin, a small village in the province of Posen, the Polish area of Prussia. The offspring of an orthodox Jewish family, the young man studied the Talmud and translated Schiller into Hebrew verse. At first he showed a preference for philosophy and mathematics but turned later to history, political science, and law. Influenced by contemporary pre-Marxian socialism, he, together with his fellow students, fought on the barricades during the revolution of 1848. It became clear to him after passing his law examinations that he could not expect an adequate appointment in the civil service of reactionary Prussia.
