Nachman of Bratslav -- The land of imagination -- 'Smallness' and 'greatness' and their roots in the kabbalah of the Ari -- The ultimate purpose of knowing is that we do not know -- 'The story of the humble king' : on laughter and foolishness in the service of God."Two hundred years since Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav's demise, his philosophical writings and literary creation remain lively and provocative materials in both Jewish culture and the New-Age movement. Key elements of Rabbi Nachman`s magic and magnetic force are illuminated in this research, which presents Bratslavian mysticism as a unique link in the history of Jewish mysticism. The mystical worldview is the axis of this book, but its branches stretch out to key issues in the Bratslavian world such as belief and imagination, dreams and the land of Israel, melodies and song."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Kogod library of Judaic studies ;7.ConsciousnessReligious aspectsJudaismGodWorship and loveHasidismMusicReligious aspectsJudaismMysticismJudaismJudaism: theologyConsciousnessReligious aspectsJudaism.GodWorship and love.Hasidism.MusicReligious aspectsJudaism.MysticismJudaism.296.833Mark Zvi947521UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910785105603321Mysticism and madness3688388UNINA
