The most powerful Hasidic teachings made accessible from some of
the world's preeminent authorities on Jewish thought and
spirituality.
"The teachings of Torah, from beginning to end, are read here as
a path toward liberation, a way of uplifting your soul and allowing
it to journey homeward, back to its Source in the oneness of all
being. Or, even better, to discover that oneness right here, in a
loving but transformative embrace of both world and self." from "To
the Reader"
While Hasidic tales have become widely known to modern
audiences, the profound spiritual teachings that stand at the very
heart of Hasidism have remained a closed book for all except
scholars. This fascinating selection presented in two volumes
following the weekly Torah reading and the holiday cycle, and
featured in English and Hebrew makes the teachings accessible in an
extraordinary way.
Volume 1 covers Genesis, Exodus and Leviticus, and includes a
history of early Hasidism and a summary of central religious
teachings of the Maggid's school. Volume 2 covers Numbers and
Deuteronomy and the holiday cycle, and includes brief biographies
of the Hasidic figures. Each teaching is presented with a fresh
translation and contemporary commentary that builds a bridge
between the eighteenth and twenty-first centuries. And each
teaching concludes with a dynamic round-table discussion between
distinguished Jewish scholar Arthur Green and his closest students
the editors of this volume. They highlight the wisdom that is most
meaningful for them, thus serving as a contemporary circle's
reflections on the original mystical circle of master and disciples
who created these teachings.
