Description ▲
Founded in the 18th century by Rabbi Israel Ben Eliezer, several sects of this East European Jewish Mystical movement known as Hasidim still flourish today. This collection of 16 studies, eight of them previously unpublished, deal with the origins of the movement and also with the teachings of some of the earliest disciples of the tradition.
