We'll see how Hasidic masters interpret prayer and study as the two crucial means of cleaving to God, and we'll discuss how they understand faith, providence, revelation, and redemption. Among the Rebbes we'll meet are the Baal Shem Tov, the Maggid of Mezeritch, Elimelekh of Lizhensk, and Rebbe Nachman of Bratzlav. |
