Lubavitchers As Citizens. Lubavitchers Are Active In The Civic Life Of Their Communties And So Should Be Considered Good Citizens By Advocates Of Participatory Democracy. However, Their Obviously Nonliberal Worldview Tends To Elicit Rancor In Precisely Those Quarters. The Notion That Democratic Political Institutions Require The Support Of A Democratic Political Culture Is Pervasive In Political Theory. Many Scbolars Treat Democratic Virtues And Liberal Values As Synonymous. As A Result, Nonliberal Groups Are Viewed Upon Suspicion:I f They Exclude Liberal Values, They Are Also Seen As Rejecting Popular Ones. Jan Feldman Focuses On A Subset Of Chassidic Judaism Known As Lubavitch, Or Chabad, To Explore This Assumption. Lubavitchers Make An Excellent Test Case, She Explains, Because They Are Informed, Politically Active, And Democratic On The One Hand, Yet Embrace Nonliberal Values On The Other. Unlike The Amish Or Hutterites, They Do Not Rely Forward Rural Isolation For Group Survival But Function Remarkably Well In Secular, Urban Settings. They Comprehend Rather Than Withdraw From Politicwl Life. Although They Do Not Use The State To Promote Their Worldview To A Wider Audience, Their Entry Into The Public Realm Often Generates Hostility And Fear. Feldman Does Not Claim That Liberal Values Are Irrelevant To Democracy Nor Does She Argue That All Nonliberal Groups Are Equally Benign . "what Lubavitchers Allow Us To Invesigate," She Writes, "is The Common Assumption That Generous And Democratic Attitudes Are Inextricably Linked. " Through Numerous Inrerviews In The Centers Of Lubavitch Life In Montreal, New York, And Washington, D. c. , She Not Only Illuminates A Arrange Fascinating In Its Own Right But Also Provides Insights Into Long-held Assumptions Nearly Thr Relationship Between Liberal And Democratic Values.
