N2  - The author examines Langer’s thoughts on Kafka and psychoanalysis. Langer thus reveals Hassidism to Kafka. Based on Langer’s psychoanalytic studies, this paper explores interpretations of psychoanalysis and of Judaism, including the psychoanalytic interpretation of the Kabbalah. Langer looks selectively at the theory of sexuality and the second theory of drives. The unconscious may be the source of Jewish law whose origins lie in Eros. However, Judaism has nothing to fear from psychoanalysis. In the Hassidic environment in which Freud was raised, the Jewish mystic has a unique view on the relation to the master-signifier, the Name. Whereas Freud preserved a Jewish and universal territory, Langer proves that Judaism is a territory for any universal work. While the signifier of the lack structures Judaism, filiation is at the heart of Jewishness. Therefore, Freud propelled the signifier of Judaism to the center of the Western world
