Résumé
Jewish Mysticism and Jewish History. One of the most decisive moments in the field of Jewish Studies in the twentieth century is the change of attitude toward the nature of mysticism in Jewish history. The modern shift in Jewish history owes very great debt to the scholarly achievements of Gershom Scholem who established solid methodology for studying Jewish mysticism and to radiate in some domains of Jewish studies and in the general perception of Judaism by scholars of religion. By resorting to certain history of Jewish mysticism Scholem innovated also in the realm of more historically oriented perception of mysticism. This paper considers that the relation established by Scholem between mysticism and Jewish history is not satisfying .Two phenomena are discussed the assumption that history impinged on the change in the nature of kabbalah and the claim that the dissemination of kabbalah affected the direction of the change in Jewish history .
