- Summary:
- From its very beginnings in the eighteenth century, the Hasidic movement was suffused with a joyous enthusiasm and optimism derived from the notion of God being in all things. This led to an insistence on joy as an essential element in divine worship, and in consequence a distinctive attitude to prayer. This classic work, presented here with a new introduction, is a study of the attitudes of the hasidic rebbes to prayer. The book enables the reader to gain a familiarity with Hasidic thought on the subject of divine worship at first hand. The book includes the first translations of much of the source material.
