Joseph Weiss (1918-69) showed a single-minded commitment to
identifying and describing the mystical element in hasidism and to
unravelling the spiritual and historical meaning of the hasidic
movement. The studies collected here are still quoted in every
serious study of hasidism. Joseph Dan's Introduction, written
specially for this paperback edition, examines Weiss's scholarship
both in the context of subsequent scholarly research and in the
light of the resurgence of hasidism since the Second World War. He
concludes that many of Weiss's detailed, perceptive, and empathetic
studies are as relevant to understanding developments in the
contemporary hasidic world as they are for understanding the
emergence and growth of hasidism in the eighteenth century.
