This volume is a major reassessment of scholarly commonplaces about the origins and nature of early Hasidism, the mystical movement which engulfed east European Jewry in the latter half of the eighteenth century. Four distinguished scholars contribute new research to what has been a most popular concern of Jewish historical study.
