Biography

Nathan Wolski is a Senior Lecturer at the Australian Centre for Jewish Civilisation, specializing in the Jewish mystical tradition, with a particular focus on the Zohar and other aspects of medieval Kabbalah. He is the author of the book 'Journey to the Zohar: Introduction to the Book of Radiance' (SUNY, 2010) and has translated works including the 'Zohar: Pritzker Edition' volumes 10 to 12 (Stanford University Press, 2016, 2017) in collaboration with Joel Hecker. Wolski has also produced a study on Kabbalistic Yiddish, titled 'Aaron Zeitlin's Mystical-Messianic Poetics' (Cherub Press, 2020), and translated Melila Hellner-Eshed’s seminal book, 'River Flows to Eden: Language and Mystical Experience in the Zohar' (Stanford University Press, 2009). His current research project, 'Esotericism and Exotericism in Early Modern Ashkenaz', investigates the transmission of Kabbalah through Yiddish texts from the late 17th to early 18th centuries. Additionally, Wolski is involved in exploring Yiddish poetry, particularly focusing on the works of Abraham Sutskever, who is considered one of the greatest Yiddish poets of the 20th century.
