Imagining holiness classic Hasidic tales in modern times

Lewis, Justin Jaron 1961- (Author). Canadian Electronic Library (Firm) (Added Author). Coherent Digital (Firm) (Added Author).

Summary: Hasidic tales are often read as charming expressions of Jewish spirituality. This title offers a radical reappraisal of how we think of Hasidic tales, calling into question received notions of authenticity. It focuses on the neglected Hasidic literature of the early 20th century - primarily the work of Israel Berger and Abraham Hayim Michelson.
