Hasidism Beyond Modernity
Author: Naftali Loewenthal
Publisher: Liverpool University Press
ISBN: 1789628202
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 445
Book Description
The Habad school of hasidism is distinguished today from other hasidic groups by its famous emphasis on outreach, on messianism, and on empowering women. Hasidism Beyond Modernity provides a critical, thematic study of the movement from its beginnings, showing how its unusual qualities evolved. Topics investigated include the theoretical underpinning of the outreach ethos; the turn towards women in the twentieth century; new attitudes to non-Jews; the role of the individual in the hasidic collective; spiritual contemplation in the context of modernity; the quest for inclusivism in the face of prevailing schismatic processes; messianism in both spiritual and political forms; and the direction of the movement after the passing of its seventh rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, in 1994. Attention is given to many contrasts: pre-modern, modern, and postmodern conceptions of Judaism; the clash between maintaining an enclave and outreach models of Jewish society; particularist and universalist trends; and the subtle interplay of mystical faith and rationality. Some of the chapters are new; others, published in an earlier form, have been updated to take account of recent scholarship. This book presents an in-depth study of an intriguing movement which takes traditional hasidism beyond modernity.

Ha"Tzemach Tzedek" U'tenuas Hahaskala
Author: Joseph Isaac Schneersohn
Publisher: Kehot Publications Society
ISBN: 9780826604194
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 127
Book Description
The mid-nineteenth century was a time of transition for Russian Jewry; the so-called Enlightenment, or haskalah, emanating from Germany, had already brought Western culture and secularism eastward to challenge traditional Jewish values. This important historical work by the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe presents an account of that critical period. Rabbi Menachem Mendel, the central figure of this narrative, was the third in succession of Chabad-Lubavitch leaders. He was known as the "Tzemach Tzedek" after his famous multi-volume opus on Talmudic law. This is the story of Rabbi Menachem Mendel's battle with the Maskilim and their Czarist supporters, and his courage and dedication in the face of a malicious campaign waged against him. It is told in the author's memorable discursive style, with the informality of a reminiscence and the attention to detail that makes for fascinating reading.
