Martin Buber devoted forty years of his life to collecting and retelling the legends of Hasidim. \"Nowhere in the last centuries,\" wrote Buber in \u003ci\u003eHasidim and Modern Man, \u003c\/i\u003e\"has the soul-force of Judaism so manifested itself as in Hasidim... Without an iota being altered in the law, in the ritual, in the traditional life-norms, the long-accustomed arose in a fresh light and meaning.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese tales--terse, vigorous, often cryptic--are the true texts of Hasidim. The hasidic masters, of whom these tales are told, are full-bodied personalities, yet their lives seem almost symbolic. Through them is expressed the intensity and holy joy whereby God becomes visible in everything.","brand":"Martin Buber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51950209761581,"sku":"BS-8XD-209952","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/tales-of-the-hasidim-7909956.jpg?v=1774795161","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/tales-of-the-hasidim","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
