The Tree That Stands Beyond Space

description of book For centuries, Jewish mysticism remained hidden – its deepest teachings guarded in hints, riddles, and secrecy. With the rise of the Baal Shem Tov (1698–1760) and the birth of the Chassidic movement, these inner teachings began to emerge into the light. Among the early Chassidic masters, Rebbe Nachman of Breslov (1772–1810), the Baal Shem Tov’s great-grandson, offered a uniquely direct, personal, and experiential path. The Tree That Stands Beyond Space introduces the mystical teachings of Rebbe Nachman through original translations and insightful commentary, highlighting the lived experience at the heart of Breslov Chassidut. The book concludes with a practical overview of Breslov philosophy and practice, serving as an accessible gateway to this profound spiritual tradition. Translated and annotated by David Sears, author of The Flame of the Heart, The Path of the Baal Shem Tov, Compassion for Humanity in the Jewish Tradition, and other works.
