This short work is largely a look at the rituals and beliefs of Chassidic (or Hasidic) Judaism- dancing, song, marital rites, and so forth. It touches on the history of the sect, and its mysticism, and culminates in a suggestion that an actual state of Israel should be created- the work being notable in that it was constructed long prior to the same, in the middle of the first world war- an example of Zionist literature from the era.
