Mayse's research focuses on Jewish mysticism, particularly Hasidism and Kabbalah, while exploring intersections with ecological ethics, comparative religious thought, and philosophy of Jewish law. His work demonstrates how pre-modern Jewish traditions offer frameworks for contemporary challenges like climate crisis and digital surveillance.
Recent publications analyze animals as revelation agents (2025), ritual studies in Hasidism (2024), and rewilding universities as ecological response. The 2022 articles on garden symbolism in Kabbalah and jurisprudence of obligation reveal his interdisciplinary approach combining theology, environmental ethics, and legal philosophy.
