From the Paper:
"A story has been told of a man who, in troubled times, would go to a particular spot and pray, and God would answer him. His son did not know the prayer, but he would go to the spot, and that would be sufficient for God to answer. This man's son knew neither the prayer, nor the spot, but he remembered the story and told it. That, too, was sufficient. This story, based on a Hasidic tale, illustrates the worth afforded storytelling by this group of people. Hasidism revitalized religious life and reordered the traditional hierarchy of values for Eastern European Jews and their descendants, beginning in the eighteenth century. This paper will examine Hasidic tales as a literary product of this movement."More papers on Hasidic Tales:
