Jonathan Garb's A History of Kabbalah: From the Early Modern Period
to the Present Day is a lucid and sophisticated account of the
multifaceted nature of Jewish mysticism, focusing on its
development from the spiritual revolution that took place in Safed
in the sixteenth century until the present. Opening the secrets of
the kabbalah to a wider audience, Garb judiciously argued that how
important the mystical and esoteric tradition has been in Jewish
history and in the cultural and intellectual life of Europe more
generally. One of the more methodologically innovative aspects of
Garb's book is his contention that kabbalah became a major factor
in the religious life of Jews in the modern age due to print and
others forms of rapid communication, a process that has magnified
significantly in recent years due to the digital revolution.
Informative and provocative, A History of Kabbalah will surely be
of interest to a wide readership.
