Mystical and practical wisdom--for daily life.
The least known of the Hasidic masters' teachings--the hanhagot, or "spiritual practices"--are at the heart of this book. These short lists of instructions were created for their followers, inspirational treasures intended to be carried with you at all times. They were to be read again and again--providing spiritual guidance, centering, and aid in bringing joy and God's presence into daily life.
Practical, personal, and wise, these brief teachings range from straightforward instructions to visualization exercises, meditations, and mantras. Also included are the hanhagot of two neo-Hasidic thinkers: the modern journalist and mystic Hillel Zeitlin (1871-1942), and the contemporary theologian Arthur Green.
