Nathan Wolski is the Liberman Family Lecturer in Jewish Studies with the Australian Centre for Jewish Civilisation at Monash University, Australia. He is the author of A Journey into the Zohar: An Introduction to the Book of Radiance (SUNY, 2010), the translator of The Zohar: Pritzker Edition, Volume 10 (Stanford, 2016), and with Joel Hecker, The Zohar: Pritzker Edition, Volume 12 (Stanford, 2017), and more recently, Kabbalistic Yiddish: Aaron Zeitlin’s Mystical-Messianic Poetics (Cherub, 2020). As part of Di Farborgene Khalyastre - a little collective of artists, musos and him - he has produced three Yiddish albums and three illustrated Yiddish books. Often grumpy in shul, he believes that mystical poetry, Beethoven and trees are the only resistance.
