Sur me-Ra ve-aseh Tov by R. Zevi Hirsch of Ziditshov (Eichenstein, 1785–1831), founder of the Zhidachov hasidic dynasty. R. Zevi Hirsch had a unique approach to Ḥasidism, which aroused the opposition of other hasidic leaders, consisted in strengthening the kabbalistic-philosophical foundation of the movement. He wrote a number of important works on mysticism, and his disciples and followers were distinguished from other streams of hasidism by their open and dedicated study of the system of R. Isaac Luria, whose thought they considered to be a direct forerunner of Hasidism. R. Zevi Hirsch saw hasidism as the means by which the ideals of the important later kabbalists could be put into practice, and, in addition, he maintained that no understanding of hasidism was possible without a deep knowledge of Kabbalah. Sur me-Ra ve-aseh Tov is a preface to Peri Ez Hayyim.
