A Fool's Kabbalah (2025)
A novel by Steve Stern

In the ruins of postwar Europe, the world's leading expert on the Kabbalah and Jewish mysticism goes on a hair-raising journey to recover sacred books stolen by the Nazis . . .

At the end of the Second World War Gershom Scholem, the magisterial scholar of Jewish mysticism, is commissioned by the Hebrew University in what was then British-ruled Palestine to retrieve a lost world. He is sent to sift through the rubble of Europe in search of precious Jewish books stolen by the Nazis or hidden by the Jews themselves in secret places throughout the ravaged continent.

The search takes him into ruined cities and alien wastelands. The terrible irony of salvaging books that had outlasted the people for whom they¡¯d been written leaves Dr. Scholem longing for the kind of magic that had been the merely theoretical subject of his lamplit studies.

Steve Stern's A Fool¡¯s Kabbalah, a novel featuring numerous real-life historic figures, reimagines Gershom Scholem¡¯s quest and how it sparked in him the desire to realize the legacy of his dear friend, the brilliant philosopher Walter Benjamin.
