Tales of the Hasidim

Martin Buber's celebrated retelling of Hasidic stories, arranged by master from the Baal Shem Tov through later generations, presents brief anecdotes and sayings that capture Hasidic wisdom, humour and devotion. Although Buber shaped the material to his own philosophy, the collection introduced Hasidism to a worldwide audience and remains a beloved, accessible gateway to Jewish mystical piety.
