Shamanic Trance in Modern Kabbalah
Jonathan Garb applies comparative concepts of shamanism to modern Kabbalists, from Moses Hayyim Luzzatto and Hasidic masters to twentieth-century figures. He examines trance, soul journeys, visions and charismatic leadership. This University of Chicago Press study offers a fresh comparative angle on ecstatic Jewish mysticism and its psychology. It broadens the picture of modern Jewish mysticism beyond the familiar story of Hasidism alone.
