Sabbatai Ṣevi: The Mystical Messiah by Gershom Scholem, Translated by R. J. Zwi Werblowsky
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 9.3 MB
Overview: A richly detailed account of the only messianic movement ever to engulf the entire Jewish world.
The twentieth century produced a galaxy of extraordinary Jewish historians. Gershom Scholem stands out among them for the richness and power of his historical imagination. Born in Berlin in 1897, Scholem became a Zionist as a young student in a revolt against his family’s bourgeois and assimilated life. He learned Hebrew and studied Kabbalah, the world of mystical teachings that had become marginalized–indeed stigmatized–within the mainstream rationalist Jewish tradition. In 1923, Scholem emigrated to Palestine and eventually joined the faculty of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, publishing groundbreaking studies in the field of Jewish mysticism.
