This review is from: Wisdom, Understanding, and Knowledge: Basic Concepts of Hasidic Thought (Paperback)

This is one of Boteach's first works, and a solid introduction to Hasidic concepts. I read it with the hope of deepening my understanding of the concepts, and there was much for me to learn from this book.
