Michal Kravel-Tovi is an associate professor of cultural anthropology at Tel Aviv University. Her work lies at the intersection of political ethnography, the anthropology of religion, and Jewish studies, with a particular focus on the collective construction of crisis. This focus spans her research and publications on messianism in Chabad, state-run religious bureaucracy, the “continuity crisis” among American Jews, sexual violence in Haredi communities, Haredi activism, and acts of public shaming amid Israel’s ongoing political crisis.
