Quote from Gershom Scholem
Gershom Scholem: Master of the Kabbalah
by David Biale
Yale University Press, New Haven, Connecticut, 2018 232 pagesThe reader will find here an account of [Scholem’s] life with an attempt to understand him from within. By using diaries and letters, I have engaged with his most important writings in an effort to integrate them into his life. As such, this is the study of an extraordinary thinker: not an ethereal intellectual but a fully embodied person, filled with passions and paradoxes, much as he described Judaism itself.” (p. xi)
