About this title

Synopsis

An excellent guide to the intricate concepts of Jewish mysticism found in Chabad Chasidic philosphy. It traces the history of Jewish mysticism from its earliest beginnings through its expansion in the sixteenth century and the new era of its promulgation through the Chasidic movement. Special attention is given to the teachings of Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, who first elucidated Kabbalistic concepts in a systematic manner and made them accessible to the average person.
