Originally published in Hebrew in 1852, the \u003cem\u003eDialogue \u003c\/em\u003edepicts a multi-faceted and acrimonious disputation between two scholars, who debate the authority and authenticity of Jewish mystical traditions. This work subjects Kabbalah, along with its textual centerpiece the Zohar, to both a rigorous critique and an impassioned defense, thereby inviting the reader to critically examine this centuries-old debate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShadal’s \u003cem\u003eDialogue \u003c\/em\u003eis a classic text of the Jewish enlightenment (\u003cem\u003eHaskalah\u003c\/em\u003e), in which trends of modern scholarship and historical criticism are brought into confrontation with rabbinic tradition and Kabbalistic mysteries.
