      One of the attractions of the whole panorama of Jewish mysticism for Scholem is its vivid and manifold demonstration of how it is possible to maintain a historical identity and a certain sense of continuity of belief while vigorously transvaluing values, redefining world and self and the realm of the spirit as historical circumstances change.
