Hasidism--a mystical branch of Judaism that is today the object of
renewed interest--traditionally has as its leaders well-trained
masters whose way of counseling their followers may be of interest
to those in other helping disciplines. "Sparks of Light " examines
the history and techniques of their advising people on the problems
of everyday life--health, finances, family--as well as more
spiritual concerns. Schachter and Hoffman take a close look at the
techniques of the Hasidic masters--dream interpretation, shock,
problem solving, and the prescription of spiritual exercises to
unlock the door of the mind. They also focus on such intriguing
topics as how Hasidic masters are trained, the range of
difficulties for which struggling Jews seek their help, the
intuitive methods of counseling that are used, and the kinds of
mystical and practical advice offered in response to life's
challenges. This book--based on original translations of Hasidic
tales and writings, many never before translated--will appeal to
those in the helping profession, as well as readers of Jewish
history.
