Because Hasidic literature contains no systematic manual of contemplative prayer, the texts included in this volume have been culled from many sources. From the teachings of the Hasidic Masters--the Ba'al Shem Tov, the Maggid Dov Baer of Meidzyrzec, and their immediate disciples--the editors have gleaned \"hints as to the various rungs of inner prayer and how they are attained.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHasidism, the Jewish revivalist movement that began in the late eighteenth century, saw prayer as being at the heart of religious experience and was particularly concerned with the nature of a person's relationship with God. The obstacles to prayer discussed by the Hasidic masters--distraction, loss of spirituality, and inconstancy of purpose--feel very close to concerns of our own age. Through advice, parables, and explanations, the Hasidic masters of the past speak to our own attempts to find meaning in prayer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBarry W.
