Hasidism is one of the most important-influential movements in Judaism during the modern era. This book shows that the scholarly style of Hasidim abided by the rhetoric that was common within Jewish culture in Eastern Europe in the generations prior to Hasidism and in the generation of Hasidism itself among non-hasidic leaders.
"Dorshei Reshumot by Ro’i Goldschmidt examines trends in Hasidic homiletics, the evolution of spoken sermons to written texts which become the ground-floor of Hasidic literature, the style and scope of sermons as rhetoric, and teases out distinct aspects of various texts based upon the original intended audience for the oral presentations upon which later written texts emerge." - "New and Noteworthy Books", Tradition Online, September 2022
