“…11 Buber, he writes, played the same role in the Jewish context of the fin de siècle that Paul de Lagarde played in the German context [in renewing the Culture], but with a significant difference: whereas Lagarde exalted the specifically Germanic, Buber sought to transcend the specific Volk in order to bring into being an all-embracing humanism. (Mosse [1970(Mosse [ ] 1987 The terminology of sickness (Almog 1991;Krochmalnik 1997), the dialectic of decay and renewal (Biemann 2009), and the merging of nationalist and humanist sensibilities, which already characterized Moses Hess's "proto-Zionism," likewise provided the intellectual premises for Buber's rediscovery of Hasidism. Mosse points to the striking similarity between Buber's Hasidism and the renewed interest in the German mystics, like Meister Eckhart and Jacob Böhme.…”

Since the 1970s, Buber has often been suspected of being a Volkish thinker. This essay reconsiders the affinity of Buber’s late writings with Volkish ideology. It examines the allegations against Buber’s Volkish thought in light of his later biblical and Hasidic writings. By illuminating the ideological affinity between these two modes of thought, the essay explains how Buber aims to depart from the dangers of myth without rejecting myth as such. I argue that Buber’s relationship to myth can help us to explain his critique of nationalism. My basic argument is that in his struggle with hyper-nationalism, Buber follows the Baal Shem Tov and his struggle against Sabbateanism. Like the Besht, Buber does not reject myth, but seeks instead to repair it from within. Whereas hyper-nationalism uses myth to advance its political goals, Buber seeks to reposition ethics within a mythic framework. I view Buber’s exegesis and commentaries on biblical and Hasidic myths as myth-activism.

The article examines Der Nister’s writings from the final years of his life in which he challenged the notion of Jewish homelessness. It begins with an analysis of the short essay “Hate”, published in the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee’s newspaper, Eynikayt, in the summer of 1944. The essay was inspired by the author’s Moscow meeting with a Polish Jewish teenage partisan who had miraculously survived the massacre of the Jewish population of Volhynia. Moved by this tragic and passionate story, Der Nister constructed his narrative around the theme of Tisha B’Av, the traditional Jewish day of mourning for the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple. However, the essay also expresses hope for a national renaissance. Der Nister urged his readers to rise up from the ruins and play an active part in the reconstruction of Soviet Jews as a nation.
