The Upsurge of Mysticism as a Jewish and Global Phenomenon -- Postscript -- Notes -- Glossary -- Bibliography -- IndexThe popularity of Kabbalah, a Jewish mystical movement at least 900 years old, has grown astonishingly within the context of the vast and ever-expanding social movement commonly referred to as the New Age. This book is the first to provide a broad overview of the major trends in contemporary Kabbalah together with in-depth discussions of major figures and schools. A noted expert on Kabbalah, Jonathan Garb places the "kabbalistic Renaissance" within the global context of the rise of other forms of spirituality, including Sufism and Tibetan Buddhism. He shows how Kabbalah has been transformed by the events of the Holocaust and, following the establishment of Israel, by aliyah. The Chosen Will Become Herds is an original piece of scholarship and, in its own right, a new chapter in the history of Kabbalah.CabalaHistory20th centuryMysticismJudaismHistory20th centuryCabalaHistoryMysticismJudaismHistory296.1/6Garb Jonathan1611085MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910810725403321The chosen will become herds3939132UNINA
