The Saints' Impresarios: Dreamers, Healers, and Holy Men in Israel's Urban Periphery - Israel: Society, Culture, and History
Yoram Bilu
The astonishing revival of saint worship in contemporary Israel was ignited by Moroccan Jews, who had immigrated to the country in the 1950s and 1960s. This title charts the vicissitudes of four domestic shrines, established by Moroccan-born men and women in peripheral development towns, following a revelation involving a saintly figure.
