Hardw
r
(Haridv
ra, ‘Vi
u's Gate’). One of the seven
sacred cities
of Hindus. It is at the place where the
Gang
leaves the mountains and begins its transverse across the plains.
Haredim
(Heb., ‘those who tremble’). Jews who observe the tenets of their religion with care. The word is derived from Isaiah 66.5. They do not constitute a distinct sect: the term, rather, covers those who seek to maintain traditional and
Orthodox Judaism
in the midst, not only of a
secularizing
world, but of those Jews who might be inclined to accommodate faith to modernity.
