Recenzii
This is an excellent and comprehensive teaching tool for Jewish studies and religion programs ... Highly recommended.
Overall, it is a work that can be read without special knowledge of Judaism. Whoever deals with the Jewish history of Central and Eastern Europe should not only read it, but read it - since it is not only methodologically innovative, but also calls for a number of new perspectives to be discussed.
A path-breaking and extremely important volume.
In Key Questions, Wodzinski presents us with a highly reflective and methodical application of the tools of social history to Hasidism, primarily in its "golden era" of the 19th century
Wodzinski asks seven questions that challenge the conventional images and notions of what Hasidism is. Drawing on a fresh behavioral perspective, an unprecedented range of sources, and established quantitative and social science methods, he fractures the 'founding stereotypes' of Hasidic scholarship, creating a whole new framework for understanding this legendary and influential religious movement.
Marcin Wodzinski is one of the most incisive scholars of Hasidism, especially in the nineteenth century. His books on Hasidism and Haskalah and on Hasidism and Politics have become essential texts. This important new volume addresses some of the key questions about Hasidism in its golden age: its definition, the role of women, the figure of the tsaddik, the Hasidic economy, and more.
Marcin Wodzinski's book insightfully addresses a series of neglected topics in Hasidism, dealing with subjects that are more mundane, concrete, and at the same time central to the daily life of the various Hasidic denominations. Unlike the more conceptually-oriented approach, which prefers to focus on spiritual life, and the historical one, which is more oriented to major events that shaped Hasidism, this book offers a fresh approach to neglected aspects such as economics, the vicissitudes of history during WWI, and the self-identity of both men and women in Hasidism.
