I am not jewish, I had never studied Caballah, I do not speak German, I am Brazilian, I read his books, in a Portuguese translations and you know what? Those are the best books I ever read in my life! He is by far the best author I stumbled upon in my whole life!
I cannot agree more. He is one of the best scholars I have ever read. Every sentence has the proper reference, note, and explanation. When I did my PhD I always remember his books as a reference of the highest scholarship, even thought my research was in Computer Science. Through him I read Walter Benjamin at 18. Love him too. Shalom.
Thank you for making this lecture available here. I've read Scholem but had no idea what he sounded like.
Wow! Thank you for posting this, what a jewel 🙏🙏🙏
Too bad it is continuously interupted with fctup commercials. Shame! I 'unfollow'.

I’m currently reading his book “ Major Trends In Jewish Mysticism “ for the first time.
Me too! I also just finished his "Origins of the Kabbalah."
Fascinating talk
Scholem was a towering scientist
Excellent
Brilliant.
