Hasidism and Modern Man

The popular communal mysticism known as Hasidism transformed religious thought and practice among East European Jews during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Martin Buber, the greatest Jewish philosopher and religious thinker of the mid-twentieth century, single-handedly transformed Hasidism from an all-but-forgotten trend into one of the great spiritual movements of the modern world. This collection features some of Professor Buber's most important essays--profound yet simple meditations that constitute an incomparable distillation of Hasidic wisdom.Buber, Martin is the author of 'Hasidism and Modern Man' with ISBN 9780486440057 and ISBN 0486440052.
