Quoted by@trippfuller 2/ Scholem, too, was no beer pong lightweight. The first professor of Jewish mysticism at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, he founded the modern academic study of Kabbalah. Benjamin's lifelong friend and collaborator, his "The Messianic Idea in Judaism" also shapes The Shift.
