Description

Product Description Piety and Rebellion examines the span of the Hasidic textual tradition from its earliest phases to the 20th century. The essays collected in this volume focus on the tension between Hasidic fidelity to tradition and its rebellious attempt to push the devotional life beyond the borders of conventional religious practice. Many of the essays exhibit a comparative perspective deployed to better articulate the innovative spirit, and traditional challenges, Hasidism presents to the traditional Jewish world. Piety and Rebellion is an attempt to present Hasidism as one case whereby maximalist religion can yield a rebellious challenge to conventional conceptions of religious thought and practice. Review “One distinguishing element of the essays contained in this volume, and of Magid’s work more generally, is a willingness to engage in interpretive play at the intersections where Kabbalah and Hasidism converge. In addition to its eclectic quality, another feature that distinguishes Piety and Rebellion is the book’s bold autobiographical introduction. Here, Magid recounts his own captivating journey. It is the story of a restless intellectual, who, fashioning himself both an insider and an outsider, has sustained his soul on everything from macrobiotics and LSD to the yeshivas of Jerusalem, from the rabbinate to the Ivy League. … I find Piety and Rebellion to be a stimulating addition to the scholarship on Hasidism by one of its most energetic, creative, and politically engaged interpreters. There is much to praise in these studies, which are as varied as the variegated corpus of Hasidism itself.” ―Jeremy Phillip Brown, McGill University, H-Judaic Review “Piety and Rebellion further establishes Shaul Magid’s deserved reputation as one of the leading scholars working today on Hasidism and modern Judaism more broadly. The learned and creative essays collected here reflect the prolific span of Magid’s career and constitute a distinguished contribution to the critical interpretation of hasidic texts and ideas. New to this volume, Magid opens with a vivid autobiographical account of his own spiritual and scholarly journey into Hasidism and Neo-hasidism, told with verve as a voyage of intellectual excitement and discovery.”― Eitan P. Fishbane, Associate Professor of Jewish Thought at The Jewish Theological Seminary and author of The Art of Mystical Narrative: A Poetics of the Zohar (Oxford, 2018) About the Author Shaul Magid is the Jay and Jeanie Schottensten Professor in the Borns Jewish Studies Program at Indiana University and Kogod Senior Research Fellow at The Shalom Hartman Institute of North America. He is a member of the American Academy of Jewish Research. His work spans the areas of Kabbalah, Hasidism, and Modern Jewish Thought and Culture.
