		A survey of Jewish mystical literatures, students will examine representative samples of Jewish texts ranging from the Hekhalot period to late Hasidic folk narratives of the modern era.
		We will pay special attention to foundational tropes and narratives of Jewish mysticism such as "the descent to the Merkavah," "the sefirot," "the collection of the sparks," and "the receding of the Ayn Sof." In this way, students will note how these narratives are constantly being reimagined both by mystical and secular Jewish writers.
