Gershom Sholem (born 1897 December 5 in Berlin, Germany) is a Jewish mystic, one of the worlds leading scholars on Judaism, and he describes many aspects of the Kabbalistic mystical/folkloristic aspects of Judaism, such as Golem, Lilith, historical development, Tree of Life, etc.

He was a Daily Bleed Saint in 2003 and 2004

Three things above all others go to make the true hasid as he appears before us in the “Book of the Devout” Ascetic renunciation of the things of this world; complete serenity of mind; and an altruism grounded in principle and driven to extremes. — Gershom Sholem, Major Trends in Jewish Mysticism, p92.
