God’s Voice from the Void: Old and New Studies in Bratslav
Hasidim, suffers from a lack of uniformity that mars the book’s
presentation and overall aim.
This book is overwhelming for the scholar of Judaism exposed
to recent trends in interpreting texts.
So, we get an essay on androgyny in Rebbe Nachman’s work, and an essay on
Rebbe Nachman’s peppered with the words praxis, trope and reconstruction.
So, this is a highly specialized and stylized treatment of Rebbe
Nachman and Bratslav. It is not for everyone, and
even the essays not written in an abundance of academic jargon, such as the one
that details the purported differences between Chabad and Bratslav, is very much
wrong on most of its details.
