The Chassidic response to the tension between emotive religious experience and the catergorical imperatives of Halacha and the philosophy of Chabad activism for religious revival which has revolutionized the Jewish religious life and conciousness are so strongly identified with chassidic thought that many do not realize that they derive wholly from the Talmud, Midrash, and other classic traditions. Chassidic Dimensions, the third volume of The Mystical Dimension series, explores the foundations and rationale of these and other concepts in the classic tradition.
