God and his imaginary friends: a Hassidic metaphysics
What happens when you assume that the world is a dream in the mind of God, or that the world's history is a story that God is spinning? Focusing on the role that this assumption plays in the thought of Rabbi Mordechai Yosef Leiner (1801-1854), at least as it is understood by Rabbi Herzl Hefter,...
