Hasidic Thought Reading Group---Pathways into Hasidic Texts
This reading group is designed to introduce Princeton undergraduates to the rich intellectual world of Hasidic Jewish texts and ideas. Emerging in the eighteenth century, Hasidic thought is a mystical tradition of religious and philosophical reflection that offers profound insights into questions of individuality, meaning, and life in the modern world. The program is structured to provide students with a grounding in key concepts in Hasidic thought, with each week exploring a different theme and drawing on sources from thinkers representing a range of Hasidic schools. The program will consist of a 90-minute seminar followed by dinner. All undergraduate students are welcome, regardless of religious, cultural, or disciplinary background.
