Last week a short interview with Joseph Dan was posted at the Oxford University Press’ blog. Dan is the author of many scholarly books on Kabbalah and is the Gershom Scholem Professor of Kabbalah at the The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The interviewer asks him about the difference between Christian and Jewish Kabbalists, Kabbalah’s relation to magic, Hasidism’s influence, celebrity fad, and recommendations for further resources, beyond his “Kabbalah: A Very Short Introduction“, which was published last May by the OUP.
