Synopsis
In this work Heschel explores despair and hope in Hasidism as he experienced it himself through study of the Baal Shem Tov and the Kotzker.
Annotation
A parallel study of the Hasidic tzaddik, Reb Menaham Mendl of Kotzk, and the father of Existentialism, Christian theologian Soren Kerkegaard.
Library Journal
LJ's reviewer asserted that at the time of its publication this was "probably the best book on Hasidism to appear in the English language." Though it is not for the casual reader, those who undertake it "will be charmed by the work's depth of feeling and comprehensive scope" (LJ 8/73).
