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. 410 0$aKogod library of Judaic studies ;$v7. 606 $aConsciousness$xReligious aspects$xJudaism 606 $aGod$xWorship and love 606 $aHasidism 606 $aMusic$xReligious aspects$xJudaism 606 $aMysticism$xJudaism 606 $2Judaism: theology 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aConsciousness$xReligious aspects$xJudaism. 615 0$aGod$xWorship and love. 615 0$aHasidism. 615 0$aMusic$xReligious aspects$xJudaism. 615 0$aMysticism$xJudaism. 676 $a296.833 700 $aMark$b Zvi$0947521 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458908603321 996 $aMysticism and madness$92140884 997 $aUNINA
