Jewish History - Kabbalah & Hasidism (13a of 20 sessions)

Jewish mysticism was a minority movement, yet it influenced major rabbis and significant Jewish communities. From its excesses under the “mystical messiah” Shabbetai Zvi, Kabbalah made a comeback in the pietistic movement called Hasidism, whose descendants we still see in the Jewish world today. Rabbi Adam Chalom, Dean for North America of the International Institute for Secular Humanistic Judaism, continues his exploration of Jewish history.
