Mystical Vertigo: Contemporary Kabbalistic Hebrew Poetry Dancing Over the Divide - New Perspectives in Post-Rabbinic Judaism Aubrey Glazer Annotated edition

Whether extroversive, introversive or some further hybrid, the process of the soul touching the fullness of its divine origins is itself undergoing transformation in the contemporary twenty-first century cultural matrices of Israel. What the mystics call mati v'lo mati, occurs throughout mystical poetics surrounding the unitive experience otherwise known as devekut. Rather than sketch out theological datum of the poetry at hand, this study seeks to explore the reality of devotional experience behind the poetic record and its correlations with contemporary Hasidic literature.
