Interest in Jewish mysticism is, in our generation, widespread and
growing. From Hebrew schools to Hollywood, people of all backgrounds
and levels of knowledge are pursuing the subject. Books, magazines,
journals, and classes are rapidly growing in number. One result of
this burst of interest and popularization of Jewish mysticism is the
problem of misinformation. The need for reliable source material has
become crucial. This four-volume work by Professor Joseph Dan is a
monumental event in the publishing history of English-language
reference books on the subject of Jewish mystical thought and
practice. Professor Dan's credentials are of the highest order. The
recipient of the Israel Prize (considered to be Israel's highest
honor), Joseph Dan is the Gershom Scholem Professor of Kabbalah at the
Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and continues to be a visiting
professor at some of the most prestigious institutions of higher
learning in the world.
