Book Summary
Acclaimed author Wineman takes readers through the great works of Hasidic storytellers. Telling parables, explains Wineman, was a strategy that the Hasidic masters used to foster a radical shift in thinking about God, the world, and the values and norms of religious life. Each story here culled from classical Hasidic homiletic texts is accompanied by notes and commentary by Wineman that illuminate their ideological significance and their historical roots and background.
