The Hidden Freud - His Hassidic Roots (Paperback)

This book uses the meetings that took place between Sigmund Freud and the fifth Lubavitcher Rebbe, the Rebbe Rashab, in 1903, as a point of departure to consider Freud's Jewish identity. While Freud may have felt himself to be "completely estranged from the religion of his fathers," he still remained a man who "never repudiated his people, who felt that he was in his essential nature a Jew, and who had no desire to alter that nature," as so many of his colleagues had done. Freud lived the life of a secular, skeptical Jewish intellectual. This was his revealed persona. But there was another, concealed Freud, who reveled in his meetings with the Rebbe, Kabbalists and Jewish scholars; who kept books on Jewish mysticism in his library; and who chose to die on Yom Kippur, 1939, the Day of Atonement. This book will consider the implications of the "concealed Freud" on his life and work.
