What can Hasidic Mysticism offer to a World in Crisis?

This conversation was recorded with the Jewish Diasporist podcast, you can find it wherever you listen to podcasts.

In this episode, we talk about the historical and etymological roots of Chasidism, grounded in Chesed - loving kindness - and how Zevi’s own journey has brought him to a diasporist understanding of the unity at the heart of mysticism. Zevi joins Ben and Jordan Yanowitz as they together paint a picture of the role that love, community, and dialogue together play in shaping Jewish life. Chesed and Chasidism are diasporically interfused in this discussion with Seekers of Unity.
