Summary/Abstract: Mitzvot, Worlds and Community in Modern Hasidic Thinking. Moshe Idel suggests that important forms of Jewish spirituality have emerged as syntheses between, on the one hand, religious endeavors, personalities, ideals, nomenclature and fears, and, on the other hand, different mystical models. I wish to emphasize the significance of three major concepts of the Hasidic movement, namely: “mizvot” (the commandments), mizvot and the outer world, and the community regarded as totality of Israel, as well as the identity relations within this type of thinking.
