Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi (1924–2014) was a creative thinker and dynamic teacher who inspired a spiritual awakening among North American Jews grounded in his reinterpretation of Hasidism and Kabbalah. Critical to this religious renaissance was Schachter-Shalomi’s reenvisioning of Jewish law. This study identifies three stages in his writings, revealing him to be a complicated, iconoclastic religious thinker whose relationship to traditional halakhah was ever changing. His works provide a rich scaffolding that will force scholars beyond the threadbare binary of “law” and “spirit” and into new conceptual categories in which ritual practice, religious law and spiritual uplift are imbricated
