A Fire Burns in Kotsk: A Tale of Hasidism in the Kingdom of Poland
Menashe Unger
Half a century after Hasidism blossomed in Eastern Europe, its members were making deep inroads into the institutional structure of Polish Jewish communities, but some devotees believed that the movement had drifted away from its revolutionary ideals. Menashe Unger's A Fire Burns in Kotsk dramatizes this moment of division among Polish Hasidim in this historical account.
