Title: This is an excellent translation of a Hasidic classic.
Product review: Arthur Green, the noted interpreter and translator,has again written a work that is sure to become a classic in the field of English-language translations of Hasidism.He has taken the "Sfas Emes" of the Gerrer Rebbe,shortened it, faithfully translated it into English and written his own comments after each section.For those capable, the Hebrew original is provided at the end of the book. As one would expect, Dr. Green provides an informative and scholarly introduction to Polish Hasidism, of which Ger is certainly one of the best-known. This book is a must for anyone who wants to deepen his understanding of Hasidism by studying a primary source.
