“Mourning Becomes the Schlemiel” – a Guest Post by Jeffrey Bernstein

Beautiful guest post by Jeffrey Bernstein, as I read it, on mourning, melancholy, and the Jewish, as read through the prism of Gimpel the Fool. It originally appeared (where else?) at Menachem Feuer’s Schlemiel Theory blog, hand down the best site around for the intersection between Jewish philosophy and literature.
