The world of Israeli Hasidic women, the most orthodox of religious Jews, is hermetic and distrustful. Hanka Grupinska managed to do the difficult thing of convincing women to talk, gaining their trust and cordiality. Tightly closed by tradition and men, educated to know that they do not have to know, they fulfill their fate according to the scheme that has been in force for centuries. Because this is how the modest, silent and hard-working act. And yet, making individual choices within the established boundaries, they lead their own lives. Their everyday life is inscribed here in stories about Polish, Ukrainian, Romanian and Hungarian Hasidic courts. A diverse and insightful, although never complete, image of Hasidic culture is recorded against the background of contemporary Israel.
