Title
The Montreal Chassidic Community: Community Boundaries and the Maintenance of Ethnic Identity
Abstract
The author argues that Montreal’s Chassidic community may be regarded as stigmatized and that consequently strategies are adopted by Chassidic groups to offset the social psychological consequences of the responses of others. He points out that while isolation from the larger community is characteristic of all the Chassidic groups, certain practises of the Lubavitcher Chassidim are initiated primarily to increase contact between themselves and the rest of the Jewish community.
