with a new Introduction
Louis Jacobs

Author Information - Contents - Publication Details - Reviews

read more about this book 'One of the basic books required for those who want to go directly into the nature of Hasidic prayer . . . in this sound and clearly written text there is a scholarly survey of the most immediate developments of Hasidism, which enters into that world both as a scholar looking in from the outside, and as a rabbi aware of the yearnings of faith. The new introduction is valuable in pointing to the most recent scholarship . . . a pleasure to read.'
