David Sears working hypothesis is that this lone poem, Shir Naim, believed composed at the end of the Masters life, encapsulates all of the teachings of Breslov Hasidism, spread over the tomes of prose and fables. What emerges from Sears high-powered literary analysis, supported by outlines, diagrams and copious endnotes, is a book that promises to be rigorous and scholarly, as well as spiritual and uplifting.
David Sears is equal to the task he has set before him. While fiercely faithful to the living tradition of Breslov (the book comes with the encouragement and input of Rabbi Elazar Kenig, leader of the Breslov Hasidim of Tsefat), Rabbi David Sears is a man with his finger on the pulse of contemporary society. His previous book, published by Orot, was The Vision ofEden: Animal Welfare and Vegetarianism in Jewish Law and Mysticism, a work that presaged the entire imbroglio concerning the kosher slaughter industry in this country.
An added feature, sure to pique scholars curiosity, is the appendix contributed by Bezalel Naor, Shir Naim as a Reply to Maimonides, a lengthy essay that deals with such spicy issues as the Non-Existence of God and the legitimacy of the ancient mystical doctrine of Shiur Komah (the Body of God).
This gem of a book is graced with original artwork by Ann Derman. Her cover paintinga visual delightportrays many of the themes of Rabbi Nachmans poem. The poem itselfHebrew and English translation face-`a-faceis surrounded by a decorative border by Ms. Derman.
