Reviews

""Chen Mandel-Edrei has written a work of primary importance, revising existing maps of the origins of modern Jewish literature by centering Hasidic hagiographical storytelling. These chapbooks, generally neglected by existing scholarship, can now be recognized as works deeply engaged with the persistent concerns of Jewish modernity.""--Naomi Seidman, University of Toronto ""Chen Mandel-Edrei offers illuminating analyses of the Hasidic 'holy tale' in relation to Jewish modernity, focusing on the impact of folklore as 'lived religion, ' print culture, mass media, and marketing. This book is a welcome, and necessary, addition to the growing literature on Hasidism, modernity, and mass media.""--Shaul Magid, Harvard University
