Hasidism - A New History (Paperback)

A must-read book for understanding this vibrant and influential
modern Jewish movement Hasidism originated in southeastern Poland,
in mystical circles centered on the figure of Israel Ba'al Shem
Tov, but it was only after his death in 1760 that a movement began
to spread. Today, Hasidism is witnessing a remarkable renaissance
around the world. This book provides the first comprehensive
history of the pietistic movement that shaped modern Judaism.
Written by an international team of scholars, its unique blend of
intellectual, religious, and social history demonstrates that, far
from being a throwback to the Middle Ages, Hasidism is a product of
modernity that forged its identity as a radical alternative to the
secular world.
