description: The book contains short anecdotes, often clever or humorous stories, that convey the teachings of the later Hasadim. Martin Buber was a German-Jewish religious philosopher, biblical translator and interpreter, and master of German prose style. His philosophy was centered on the encounter, or dialogue, of man with other beings, particularly exemplified in the relation with other men but ultimately resting on and pointing to the relation with God. Hasidism is an influential mystical Jewish movement founded in Poland in the 18th century in reaction to the rigid academicism of rabbinical Judaism. Hasidism is still a force in Jewish life, particularly in Israel and New York.
