\u201cWhile mainstream Rabbinic Judaism is classically

and follows in the footsteps of the Aristotelian

the panentheistic conception of God can be found in
\n certain Jewish\n <\/div>\n
mystical currents. A leading scholar of the
\n Kabbalah, Moshe Idel\n <\/div>\n
(\u201cHasidism: Between Ecstacy and Magic,\u201d SUNY<\/span>, 1995, pp. 17\u201318),\n <\/div>\n
ascribes this doctrine to the kabbalistic system of
\n Rabbi Moses\n <\/div>\n
Cordover<\/span>o (1522\u20131570) and
\n in the eighteenth century<\/span>, Rabbi Israel\n <\/div>\n
ben Eliezer<\/span>, the Baal
\n Shem T<\/span>ov<\/span>, founder of the Hasidic movement,\n <\/div>\n
as well as his contemporary<\/span>, Rabbi Menahem Mendel, the Maggid of\n <\/div>\n
Bar<\/span>. There is some debate
\n as to whether Lurianic Kabbalah, with its\n <\/div>\n
doctrine of tzimtzum<\/span>, can
\n be regar<\/span>ded as panentheistic. According to\n <\/div>\n
Hasidism, the In\ue0c4nite Ein Sof<\/span> is incorporeal (has no body) and is both\n <\/div>\n
transcendent and immanent\u2026.\u201d<\/div>\n
