Moshe Idel, in a chapter on Steiner in his 2010 book <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nli.org.il\/en\/books\/NNL_ALEPH002620372\/NLI\"><em>Old Worlds, New Mirrors: On Jewish Mysticism and Twentieth-Century Jewish Thought<\/em><\/a> referred to him as \u201cA Prophet of Abstraction\u201d and addressed the influence of Scholem\u2019s scholarship on his somewhat pessimistic worldview.

I had the testing privilege of knowing Scholem in his later years, of seeing him in Jerusalem, Zurich, and New York. I cannot even begin to venture an informed guess as to whether this inspired expositor of the Cabalistic meditation on the self-divisions of the Divine Oneness\u2026believed or did not believe in God [Actually Scholem wrote more than once that he had always believed in God and therefore could not be considered as \u201csecular&#8221;]. The quizzicalities in Scholem\u2019s smile and the hints of deep-lying Voltairean merriment were legion\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Scholem\u2019s library, there are several of Steiner\u2019s books, two of which contain dedications from the author.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_67406\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-67406\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DedEng.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-67406\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DedEng-226x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"664\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DedEng-226x300.jpg 226w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DedEng-452x600.jpg 452w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DedEng.jpg 478w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-67406\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>&#8220;For Gershom Scholem, with deep respect, George Steiner&#8221; <\/em>This dedication appears in a copy of Steiner&#8217;s book, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nli.org.il\/he\/books\/NNL_ALEPH002518024\/NLI\"><em>Bluebeard\u2019s Castle: Some Notes Towards the Re-definition of Culture<\/em><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In one of them, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nli.org.il\/en\/books\/NNL_ALEPH002553963\/NLI\"><em>After Babel: Aspects of Language and Translation<\/em><\/a>, Steiner addresses Scholem as the &#8220;Master of Light in Darkness\u201d.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_67409\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-67409\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DedGerm.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-67409\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DedGerm-221x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"680\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DedGerm-221x300.jpg 221w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DedGerm-441x600.jpg 441w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DedGerm.jpg 458w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-67409\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>&#8220;For Gershom Scholem, Master of Light in Darkness, George Steiner (Zurich, 25-5-75)&#8221; <\/em>(German)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Idel\u2019s words. \u201cDrawing on Kafka, Freud and Scholem, Steiner tries\u2026to offer, as Harold Bloom has pointed out, a new Torah\u201d. Kafka also looms large in Steiner\u2019s review of the Scholem-Benjamin correspondence (as well as in Idel\u2019s analysis of Scholem in <em>Old Worlds, New Mirrors<\/em>). Can pessimism, abstractions darkness and light create a \u201cnew Torah\u201d?
