A groundbreaking study, this record introduces the virtually unknown story of Sufi influence on the development of Jewish mysticism. Illustrating that the Jewish religion was reconfigured due to sustained medieval contacts between Jewish and Muslim thinkers, this book argues that the Islamic impact reverberates within Judaic traditions to this day.
