INTEGRAL REDEMPTION IN BODY AND SPIRIT:

“From now on, O please God have mercy upon each of us individually, and upon all godwrestlers collectively, integrated within the great goodness of your mercies. And may we—including ourselves and our descendants, and all who choose to accompany us [on this journey] along with all godwrestlers—be integrated within [the divine attributes] of mercy and compassion. Grant us immediately an integral redemption, [including] the resurrection of the dead, and a true deliverance in body and spirit. Amen.”

The Primordium
by Der Nister

Translated, Introduced and Annotated by Nathan Wolski
Art by Tunni Kraus

A kabbalistically-suffused, hyper-anthropomorphic myth about creation by a master of Yiddish
modernism, Der Nister’s Primordium (Der Kadmen, 1910) takes the reader deep into the mind of
God preceding creation, and narrates his precarious and tortured quest for self-consciousness and
expression. Tracing the Primordium’s maturation across cosmic eons in the face of his own doubts
and fear, and in the face of cosmic silence and nothingness, Der Nister’s Der Kadmen is a meditation
on the dialectics of being and nothingness, and one of the boldest experiments in writing Jewish
myth in modernity.
Critically annotated, adorned and unveiled by ten paintings, this bilingual edition will delight scholars
of Kabbalah and Yiddish alike.

A modernist Yiddish creation myth which feels equally Zoharic and Kafkaesque. A wild avant-garde
trip into the tortured mind of God. Wolski’s translation of Der Nister’s astonishing Yiddish prose
and Kraus’s visual midrash are exquisite.
Melila Hellner-Eshed, author of A River Flows from Eden: On the Language of
Mystical Experience in the Zohar, and Seekers of the Face: Secrets of the Idra Rabba
 
A profound myth of Divine unfolding, of the dialectical interplay between Being and Nothingness.
In his wondrous, sparkling translation, Nathan Wolski has made this gem of Yiddish literature
available to the wider world. Reading this short story takes you on a spiritual journey to the beyond.
Daniel Matt, author of Becoming Elijah and the multivolume,
annotated translation, The Zohar: Pritzker Edition
