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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Random House LLC (No Starch)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/23\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780805209952\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 736\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.94h x 5.30w x 1.22d","brand":"Martin Buber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44431871148213,"sku":"9780805209952","price":24.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_1dd4d413-d47c-4c0a-a558-a22a72fb1462.jpg?v=1721138612","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/tales-of-the-hasidim-9780805209952","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
