First sentence: THE reputation of Nahman of Bratslav (1772-1810), both as charismatic religious leader and intriguing author of enigmatic tales, is inevitably associated with Hasidism, the religious and social movement which has embraced and revitalized much of Jewish spiritual life from the mid-18th century until today.
