Today, Hasidism is witnessing a remarkable renaissance around the world. This book provides the first comprehensive history of the pietistic movement that shaped modern Judaism. Written by an international team of scholars, its unique blend of intellectual, religious, and social history demonstrates that, far from being a throwback to the Middle Ages, Hasidism is a product of modernity that forged its identity as a radical alternative to the secular world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Biale, David Assaf, Benjamin Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691202443\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691202440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/14\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 896\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.40lbs","brand":"David Biale","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44042472521983,"sku":"9780691202440","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0e0b5dbf-f106-4b66-9961-e20704f86025.jpg?v=1684961729","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hasidism-david-biale-9780691202440","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
