Directed by Dr. Nehemia Polen, Professor of Jewish Thought, the Hasidic Text Institute was established in Fall 2001. The Institute provides a unique opportunity to explore the foundational texts of the Hasidic Movement. With its powerful emphasis on individual development and communal cohesiveness, the study of Hasidism offers the contemporary world an inexhaustible resource of religious, theological and cultural creativity.
