ОглавлениеNote on Transliteration, Translation, and Terms
I have translated the passages in the book except those excerpted from sources translated into English as included in the list of references. The transliterations in the book follow the Library of Congress rules for Hebrew transliteration, substituting the consonants accordingly:
| א | ʾ |
| בּ | b |
| ב | v |
| ג | g |
| ד | d |
| ה | h |
| ו | ṿ |
| ז | z |
| ח | ḥ |
| ט | ṭ |
| י | y (only if consonant) |
| כּ | k |
| כ | kh |
| ל | l |
| מ (and final ם) | m |
| נ (and final ן) | n |
| ס | s |
| ע | ʿ |
| פּ | p |
| פ (and final ף) | f |
| צ (and final ץ) | ts |
| ק | ḳ |
| ר | r |
| שׁ | sh |
| שׂ | ś |
| ת | t |
The definite article (ha-, he-), the conjunction (u-, ṿa-, ṿe-), and certain prepositions (e.g., b, k, l, m) have been separated by hyphens from the words to which they are prefixed. For proper names and Hebrew terms as well as Arabic terms in the text that are commonly used in English speech or writing, I have preserved conventional spellings.
Throughout the text I have used the term “ideological settler” (and at times “religious fundamentalist”) where others have chosen to use the term “Modern Orthodox” or “National Religious” (dati-leumi) to refer to this sector in the Israeli context. These groups have historically synthesized far right or ultranationalist and religious elements to shape a distinct kind of Jewish observance. Modern Orthodoxy, however, includes religious communities that do not live in ideological settlements (and not all in the Modern Orthodox camp would be sympathetic to ideological settler views). For this reason, I refer to the far-right spectrum of religious settlers living in settlements like Kiryat Arba and the Jewish Quarter in Hebron as “ideological settlers” and distinguish them from those moving into settlements for economic or “quality of life” reasons alone.
The names of key informants in this ethnography as well as other identifying details have been changed to preserve anonymity. The exceptions to these are as follows: those who are already well known public figures or religious right activists within ideological settler circles, or those who have published various memoirs or studies. I have also retained the names of several former Kiryat Arba residents who are no longer living, or whose lives others have written about in publications that memorialize their thoughts and deeds.
