Theosophical Appropriations Esotericism, Kabbalah and the Transformation of Traditions Editors: Julie Chajes, Boaz Huss The thirteen chapters of this volume examine intersections between theosophical thought and areas as diverse as the arts, literature, scholarship, politics, and, especially, modern interpretations of Judaism and kabbalah. Each chapter offers a case study in theosophical appropriations of a different type and in different context. The chapters join together to reveal congruencies between theosophical ideas and a wide range of contemporaneous intellectual, cultural, religious, and political currents. They demonstrate the far-reaching influence of the theosophical movement worldwide from the late-nineteenth century to the present day. Contributors: Karl baier, Julie Chajes, John Patrick Deveney, Victoria Ferentinou, Olav Hammer, Boaz Huss, Massimo Introvigne, Andreas Kilcher, Eugene Kuzmin, Shimon Lev, Isaac Luberlsky, Tomer Persico, Helmut Zander.

The article offers a preliminary study of Jewish theosophists and their interpretations of Kabbalah and analyzes the contexts and significance of Jewish-theosophical appropriations of Kabbala. The article argues that the Jewish theosophists’ interpretations of Kabbalah were part of a wider current of modern-Jewish interest in Kabbalah, and that some of their basic assumptions about the nature and significance of Kabbalah resemble and interconnect with the perceptions of modern scholars of Kabbalah.
