About This Text

Author: Hillel Zeitlin

Composed: Warsaw, 1910 CE

In the Orchard of Chasidut and Kabbalah, by neo-chasidic thinker Hillel Zeitlin, is a structured introduction to chasidic and kabbalistic thought, addressing topics such as meaning in commandments, a defense of kabbalah, and the authenticity and development of the Zohar and its teachings. The “orchard” in the title is likely a reference to the talmudic tale, which Zeitlin discusses at length, of four rabbis who entered the “orchard” of mystical study and were each impacted differently. The work includes a Hebrew translation, of the introduction to the Zohar, with commentary.
