This book examines Isreal's Hamakom and Bayit Chadash communities' attempts to integrate Jewish tradition - especially Kabbalah and Hasidism - with New Age spirituality at the turn of the millennium. Werczberger presents a comprehensive ethnographic account of these communities, examining their rise and fall after only six years of activity.
