Kabbalah in Bucharest During WWII | Moshe Idel

Professor Moshe Idel recounts the wonderfully bizzare story of a non-Jewish Kabbalah study group in Bucharest, Romania, during the Holocaust. The group was tought by a Jewish Kabbalist who, at one stage, was sent to a concentration camp but continued to teach via correspondence.
From a lecture by Moshe Idel describing the interest in Kabbalah among Romanian intellectuals during the early 20th Century and the discovery of a Kabbalah study group. This wonderfully bizarre story tells of the Romanian intellectuals who protected their Kabbalist teacher during the Holocaust.
