Hasidic Prayer (Littman Library of Jewish Civilization)
'It now presents itself to a new public which will find this one of the basic books required for those who want to go directly into the nature of Hasidic prayer ... in this sound and clearly written text there is a scholarly survey of the most immediate developments of Hasidism, which enters into that world both as a scholar looking in from the outside, and as a rabbi aware of the yearnings of faith.  The new introduction is valuable in pointing to the most recent scholarship which also emphasizes women in Hasidic life ... this is a valuable book which is a pleasure to read.'   European Judaism  'His work is remarkably well done, with profound scholarship but presented in a readable and absorbing manner.'   Times Educational Supplement
