520    German-born Gerhard (Gershom) Scholem (1897-1982), the 
       preeminent scholar of Jewish mysticism, delved into the 
       historical analysis of kabbalistic literature from late 
       antiquity to the twentieth century. His writings traverse 
       Jewish historiography, Zionism, the phenomenology of 
       mystical religion, and the spiritual and political 
       condition of contemporary Judaism and Jewish civilization.
       Scholem famously recounted rejecting his parents' 
       assimilationist liberalism in favor of Zionism and 
       immigrating to Palestine in 1923, where he became a 
       central figure in the German Jewish immigrant community 
       that dominated the nation's intellectual landscape in 
       Mandatory Palestine. Despite Scholem's public renunciation
       of Germany for Israel, Zadoff explores how the life and 
       work of Scholem reflect ambivalence toward Zionism and his
       German origins.
