description This article presents the results of a field investigation carried out over two years in Brussels, within the Hassidic Habad movement. Here we were most particularly interested in the meetings of orthodox Jews and new-practicing Jews as it took place around the table of a rabbi, on the occasion of his inviting guests having various types of relationships to belief or various degrees of involvement in religious practice. The return to the religious has been the subject of many studies in the last few years, particularly since the work of Danielle Hervieu-Léger, devoted to religious mobility (Hervieu-Léger, 1999). Whereas most research tends to stress the transformations of habitus and identitary transactions, we chose, without neglecting those aspects, another type of interpretation, inspired by the socio-anthropology of play and potential spaces.
