Speaking Infinities
God and Language in the Teachings of Rabbi Dov Ber of Mezritsh
Ariel Evan Mayse's Penn study explores how the Maggid of Mezritch understood language as a bridge between the infinite God and the created world. Speech, letters, prayer and Torah study become channels of divine vitality. Drawing on manuscripts and printed homilies, it is a sophisticated recent contribution for readers interested in Hasidic theology and mystical linguistics.
