Tract on Ecstasy: Dobh Baer of Lubavitch
ISBN: 9780853035909
Format: Paperback
Publisher: Mitchell Vallentine & Company
Dobh Baer of Lubavitch (1773-1827), the author of Tract on Ecstasy, assumed the leadership of the Hasidic sect of Habad on the death of his father, Schneor Zalman of Liady. The Tract is in the form of a letter, sent by Dobh Baer to his followers, advising them on the role of ecstasy in the religious life. His thesis is that those who decry ecstasy are wrong, and that there is no such thing as a de-personalised state of contemplation in which the self does not feel anything. The Tract was originally written c.1814, and this book is based on a manuscript copy, probably written by Dobh Baer's chief scribe.
