Jonathan Garb

Historian of MODERN Kabbalah (Shamanic Trance in Modern Kabbalah; A History of Kabbalah): the field's cartographer of everything after Luria — Hasidic psychology, twentieth-century Jerusalem circles, Ashlag's afterlives, and the psychologization of the tradition. Represents the current wave: Kabbalah studied as a living, evolving practice-culture, not a closed medieval archive.
