The Paradoxical Ascent to God

The Kabbalistic Theosophy of Habad Hasidism

by Rachel Elior · Jeffrey M. Green (trans.)

An analysis of the mystical theology of Chabad from Shneur Zalman of Liadi to his successors. Elior explains the school's paradoxical view of God's presence in and absence from the world and its ideal of self-nullification.
