Your Word Is Fire

The Hasidic Masters on Contemplative Prayer

by Arthur Green and Barry W. Holtz · Arthur Green and Barry W. Holtz (eds. and trans.)

This small anthology gathers short teachings of early Hasidic masters on prayer, attention, ecstasy and self-transcendence. Arthur Green and Barry Holtz translate and introduce passages from the Baal Shem Tov's circle onward. Simple in form but deep in content, it is suited to contemplative readers and those seeking a practical entrance into Hasidic spirituality. Short enough to keep at hand for daily reading.
