The book examines the influence of prominent figures like R. Isaac Luria and the ways in which their teachings resonated with a populace yearning for spiritual solace and a sense of connection amidst adversity.

Hardcover. Condition: Acceptable. No Jacket. In Yiddish. (4), 292 pages. 223 x 160 mm. Very fragile yellowed paper. Title page detached. 2 volumes in 1, 7 full page portraits, each printed on very good quality paper. This is a translation of: Hasidut veha-hasidim. Horodezky was a scholar and historian of Jewish mysticism and Hasidism. Born in Malin (Kiev region) he studied in the courts of Tzaddikim in Malin and Chernobyl. He was attracted to the Haskalah and at the age of 20 settled in Berdichev where he changed from a rabbinic author to a Hebrew writer and began to correspond with contemporary authors. The pogroms of 1905-1906 caused him leave the Ukraine. After his election as a delegate to the Eighth Zionist Congress (The Hague, 1907) he remained in the West, in, among other places, in Switzerland and Germany. He was a contributor to the Encyclopaedia Judaica (1927-34), and founder of the Hasidic archives of the Schocken Press (1935). In 1938 he emigrated to Eretz Israel and settled in Tel Aviv. Horodezky was one of the last scholars to write in the manner of Wissenschaft der Judenthums before its development into modern Jewish scholarship. Like other contemporaries, he was a product of the intellectual climate of the East European Jewish town and educated himself to become a Hebrew writer. His quiet, informative, non-argumentative manner of speech helped break the boycott of the maskilim against Hasidism. He liked to cite representative sources but wrote little analysis and criticism.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the role of emotions in Judaism, showcasing the conflict between the rule-oriented, legalistic approach to the religion and the more emotionally driven, heartfelt approach. The author begins by establishing that while the Jewish religious code primarily emphasizes laws and statutes, throughout Jewish history, influential thinkers and leaders have emerged to emphasize the importance of emotional spirituality and compassion. The author provides a historical overview of these differing perspectives, explaining how the tension between them has shaped the development of Judaism. The book traces the evolution of the religious conflict from the time of the prophets, who placed a high value on ethics and morality, through the era of the legalistic Pharisees, and up to the present day. Various figures and movements are presented as examples of this conflict, including the Essenes, Hillel, Rabbi Meir, the Gaonim, Maimonides, and the Kabbalists. The author shows how these individuals and groups attempted to balance the opposing forces and shape the direction of Jewish spiritual development, and ultimately argues that despite the historical tension between them, these two perspectives are ultimately complementary and essential for a well-rounded understanding and practice of Judaism.
