Overview
The Robert and Arlene Kogod Library of Judaic studies publishes new research which provides innovative directions for modern Jewish thought and life, and serves to enhance the quality of dialogue between classical sources and the modern world.
This book series reflects the mission of the Shalom Hartman Institute, a pluralistic research and leadership institute at the forefront of Jewish thought and education. It empowers scholars, rabbis, educators and layleaders to develop new and diverse voices within the tradition, laying foundations for the future of Jewish life in Israel and around the world.
Two hundred years since Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav's demise, his philosophical writings and literary creation remain lively and provocative materials in both Jewish culture and the New-Age movement. Key elements of Rabbi Nachman's magic and magnetic force are illuminated in this research, which presents Bratslavian mysticism as a unique link in the history of Jewish mysticism. The mystical worldview is the axis of this book, but its branches stretch out to key issues in the Bratslavian world such as belief and imagination, dreams and the land of Israel, melodies and song.
