Reviews
Religious Studies Review:
"It is a very important addition to the history of Hasidism and the study of East European Jewish history."
"It is a very important addition to the history of Hasidism and the study of East European Jewish history."
"This is a path-breaking and thorough study of an important and neglected chapter of modern Jewish history."American Historical Review
"Assaf is a scholar who knows how to manage vast bits of detail but also how to fit them together in a coherent and plausible whole. . . . [He] has used the only possible method for sifting among sources, that of common sense. He has done so with great success and produced a first-rate biography."–AJS Review
