A New Hasidism: Branches

The editors of A New Hasidism have done the Jewish world a great service by producing these two volumes:  Roots, and here Branches.  This volume explores the range of what we call Neo-Hasidism, which is quite broad and deep.  The articles here lay out the groundwork of this extensive,  hard to pin down,  multi-faceted, and engaging Jewish movement.

This book, and its companion volume, act as both an anchor and line to those who wish to study and enact progressive Judaism.  Here we can find many approaches to what it means to be Jewish in the twenty-first century; how we can preserve the past, while moving boldly into the future.  

And perhaps most importantly, we can be creative in our expression of Judaism.  We can have fun!  We are only inhibited by our lack of imagination or hang-ups.  These books provide the keys to wider worlds that are ours to explore.
