Exchange with R. Schochet about Scholarship on Hasidism and Suggested Corrections for "Study and Prayer" Article (1975)
Reading through the recent issue of Tradition I note that you continue to pursue your interest in Chassidism and are presently engaged in compiling an anthology of Chassidic teachings. I myself recently started work on a similar project, but who knows when I will be able to finish it. (Incidentally, Louis Jacobs from London informs me that he has just completed a similar anthology for Behrman House.) In any case, it is important that people who understand and appreciate Chassidism positively will finally take over the "academic field" of it to negate the distortions and misrepresentations of people like Buber and Scholem et al.
