=== Neo-Hasidic === {{one source|section|date=July 2024}} From the early 20th century, [[Neo-Hasidism]] expressed a modernist or non-Orthodox Jewish interest in Jewish mysticism, becoming influential among [[Modern Orthodox Judaism|Modern Orthodox]], [[Conservative Judaism|Conservative]], [[Reform Judaism|Reform]] and [[Reconstructionist Judaism|Reconstructionalist]] Jewish denominations from the 1960s, and organised through the [[Jewish Renewal]] and [[Chavurah]] movements. The writings and teachings of [[Zalman Schachter-Shalomi]], [[Arthur Green]], [[Lawrence Kushner]], [[Herbert Weiner]] and others, has sought a critically selective, non-fundamentalist neo- Kabbalistic and Hasidic study and [[Jewish mysticism|mystical spirituality]] among modernist Jews. The contemporary proliferation of scholarship by [[List of Jewish mysticism scholars|Jewish mysticism academia]] has contributed to critical adaptions of Jewish mysticism. Arthur Green's translations from the religious writings of [[Hillel Zeitlin]] conceive the latter to be a precursor of contemporary Neo-Hasidism. Reform rabbi Herbert Weiner's ''[[Nine and a Half Mystics|Nine and a Half Mystics: The Kabbala Today]]'' (1969), a travelogue among Kabbalists and Hasidim, brought perceptive insights into Jewish mysticism to many Reform Jews. Leading Reform philosopher [[Eugene Borowitz]] described the Orthodox Hasidic [[Adin Steinsaltz]] (''The Thirteen Petalled Rose'') and [[Aryeh Kaplan]] as major presenters of Kabbalistic spirituality for modernists today.<ref>''Choices in Modern Jewish Thought: A Partisan Guide'', Eugene Borowitz, Behrman House. After surveying the 6 systemised [[Jewish philosophy|Jewish philosophical]] positions of modernity and other theologies, 2nd edition 1995 includes chapters on "The Turn to Mysticism", post-modernism, and Jewish feminist theology</ref>
