Overview
- Summary
- This thesis will present an account of the religious way of living drawn from the writings of selected authorities. It will consider how myths, rituals and religion can help humans reach moments of transcendence. These themes will be discussed further in reference to the pious Jews who originated from small towns in Eastern Europe and who lived in accordance with their religious values. This thesis will give substance to the account of the religious way of living with specific reference to the experience of pious Eastern European Jews before, during and after the Holocaust. It will be proposed that Holocaust studies can offer students several messages that are of crucial importance.
