Hasidism began in the 18th century with a spiritual, inclusivist ethos, which could be characterized as controversially 'post-modern', breaking hierarchical borders in Jewish society. In the increasingly secular and religiously politicized modern world of the 19th and 20th centuries, would the spiritual teachings survive? Would the inclusivism survive? This text-based module investigates the variety of Hasidic views on topics such as:
- Rationalism
- Individualism
- Defectors from Judaism
- The relationship between Jew and Gentile
- The role of women in Hasidic life
