Description and Table of Contents

Description

Shaul Magid explores one of the most provocative and radical traditions of Hasidic thought, the school of Izbica and Radzin, that Rabbi Gershon Henokh founded in nineteenth-century Poland. Magid traces the intellectual history of this strand of Judaism into the present. He puts the Hasidism of Izbica-Radzin in context and provides a model for inquiry into other forms of Hasidism.
