Joseph Dan, the Gershom Scholem Professor of Kabbalah Emeritus at
the Hebrew University and long-time Professor of Jewish Studies at
the Freie Universitat Berlin, is one of the most influential
figures in the fields of Jewish mystical thought, homiletical and
ethical literature, modern Messianism and Hasidism, and
contemporary 'belles-lettres'. His studies of the diverse aspects
of Jewish creativity, with close attention to the dialectics of
religious-cultural continuity versus historical innovation, provide
a comprehensive overview of the complex history of Jewish thought
and its multiple creative faces. It is precisely for this reason,
to honor Joseph Dan's multifaceted research, that his many
colleagues, students, and friends, scattered among universities
around the world, have decided to focus their contributions in this
Festschrift on the continuing process of creation and re-creation
in Jewish thought throughout the centuries. Contributors: Philip
