More about the book

Gerhard Scholem, a pivotal figure in Jewish mysticism, explored kabbalistic literature and its historical context from antiquity to the 20th century. His work spanned Jewish historiography and Zionism, reflecting his complex relationship with both. After immigrating to Palestine in 1923, he became integral to the German Jewish intellectual community. Zadoff's analysis is structured in three parts: Scholem's cultural contributions in Palestine, his response to the Holocaust, and his eventual re-engagement with German intellectual life post-war, highlighting the tensions within his identity and legacy.
