Review

"One of Choice Reviews' Outstanding Academic Titles of 2018""Hasidism . . . is a tremendous work of research."---Shalom Auslander, Times Literary Supplement"Hasidism: A New History . . . is a monumental scholarly achievement and a great contribution to the understanding of one of the most important movements in Jewish life in the modern period."---Moshe Halbertal, New York Review of Books"For this remarkably well-researched and expansive history of Hasidism, a team of scholars has collaborated to produce an intelligent and eminently readable exploration of a branch of Judaism that has made an extraordinary mark on Jewish life. . . . This effort is rich with detail and insight, and captures the vibrancy and innovation of a thriving, multifaceted movement. It belongs on the bookshelf of any serious student of Jewish history." (Publishers Weekly)"The book is notable for smashing various well-worn myths about Hasidism, and presenting new insights that place the movement at the center of European Jewish history, a major shaper of that history rather than a marginal aberration."---Sue Fishkoff, Jweekly"These eight modern sages managed to produce a fascinating book that embodies their collective wisdom and style in a seamless and highly illuminating work of authorship. This, too, strikes me as something of a miracle."---Jonathan Kirsch, Jewish Journal"Enormously informative, monumental volume."---George Prochnik, Los Angeles Review of Books"Likely to be the definitive work on Judaism’s equivalent of charismatic Protestantism."---Marvin Olasky, World"Hasidic Jews are among the most highly visible and fastest growing of all the world's Jewish subcultures. They are also among the least understood and enigmatic of Jewish communities. The veil of obscurity has been lifted thanks to this volume, which represents the very latest and best scholarship on Hasidism’s history and culture. A cause for celebration, Hasidism is a magnificent achievement."―John M. Efron, author of German Jewry and the Allure of the Sephardic"The world of Hasidism can be enthralling with just the double edge that the word implies. But how did it come into being and how has it survived, this uncanny Jewish cousin of European modernity itself? Hasidism answers that compelling question better than it has ever been answered before."―Jack Miles, general editor of The Norton Anthology of World Religions

What an historic vast sea of knowledge of all the sources, from where my people, my life, and my future, stem from.As a Hasidic reader, i cannot even grasp a droplet of this tremendous study compiled of such world renowned 8 Jewish eminent scholars, all with a lifetime of books of their own, on these fields, before they grouped together, to toil and labor on this huge volume, that took over a decade to complete!Only a fool can compact the writings, of close to 900 pages, in one article. I only write this review because I want others also to buy it, and benefit form it, like myself.I read Shulem Auslender's very entertaining great critic, that it should have condemned the hasidim overall on their crackpot life. This book has plenty of 'crackpot' details about hasidim, but it also contains many smart modern things about us. What the authors clearly make the case, is, that hasidim are lying when they say, that they are all about fighting modernity. I am sure all 8 authors agree with Auslender, that overall hasidim are indeed primitive, and not modern at all.The readers should not be mislead to think that this book is something it's not; It is simply an history documentation. Not a psychoanalysis judgment call. It lays out the bare facts, the intricate thoughts & long process of evolution spanning 4 centuries, of this subject 'Hasidism', for us the readership, to make the decision on the hasidim & hasidic thoughts, on our own.Buy it & read it, - at-least some of it. Because it takes a very long time to read all of it. But I promise, you will reread it many times throughout your lifetime.

The book draws together so many luminaries that it serves as a kind of state of the field of Anglophone study of Hasidism. Obviously this is not Torah Min Hashamayim and some of the regnant theories expressed in the book will not hold up to future scrutiny but this is where we are at in 2018. Other fields should produce similar massive synthetic books like this to help them see where they are and where they're going. Book is a must-own for any Jewish library

The page numbers for the Kindle do not match up with the actual book. The problem comes from the fact that the Kindle puts the notes at the end of each chapter instead of the bottom of the page. I came to notice this because I have been meeting regularly with a friend to study the book and he had a physical copy so I had trouble figuring out where he was up to. This is the kind of book that is worth studying with a friend and presents the kind of challenge that may make it necessary.

long book, takes time to read. well worth it. great insight into a time and life that has been destroyed and forever gone but so important to understand the sources of much of jewish life today

Thorough and comprehensive. provides new insights into a little known religious sect. At times too much for a lay reader, but certainly worth the trouble if you are interested in the subject. The multiple authors provide a breadth of information that woulsd be hard to find in a single source.

Just received this volume but have perused and dipped into it. I have a longstanding interest in Hasidism and quite a library of related books. This volume,of more than 800 pages, is a tremendous addition to the field. I had expected different chapters from each of the several authors but it is truly a collaborative effort and a seamless multi authored effort with, presumably, contributions to most or all chapters by each author.I am enormously excited by this volume and looking forward to delving into it in detail. Many thanks for a wonderful and fascinating study.

This volume is a watershed English language history and introduction to Hasidism for any who want to know about this living mystical tendency within Judaism. It is likely to be a ready resource and primer for the next generation of pious and doubtful inquirers into the history of Hasidism, especially for outsiders. As such, it is written with masterful inclusivity and invites to secular sceptics, Jews and non-Jews alike to understand with sympathy. The pious insider may find it too broad and historical in scope, finding variant details as blemishes to authenticity. The volume does not call the doubter into the intensity of prayer and practice of Hasidism life, study and devotion. However, recognizing that the purpose of the volume is to provide a thorough and even-handed history of the movement, it serves and will serve many purposes and — over and above — it provides a vigorous account of the movement that will inform the reader well. Each chapter and section include short bibliographic essays that points to deeper study.
