Using tools of detection, Assaf extracts historical truth from a variety of sources by examining how the same events are treated in different memory traditions, whether hasidic, maskilic, or modern historical, and tells the stories of individuals from the hasidic elites who found themselves unable to walk the trodden path. By placing these episodes and individuals under his historical lens, Assaf offers a more nuanced historical portrayal of Hasidism in the nineteenth-century context.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Assaf\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1611681944\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781611681949\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brandeis University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/12\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.19h x 6.39w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e National Jewish Book Award - Finalist","brand":"David Assaf","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49097015427327,"sku":"9781611681949","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/untold-tales-of-the-hasidim-david-assaf-9781611681949","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
