The Mystical Community of Safed: Kabbalah, Messianism, and Folklore
Hosted By: The Siegal Lifelong Learning Program at Case Western Reserve University
Case Western Reserve University’s Siegal Lifelong Learning presents a course on the small town of Safed in the Upper Galilee, remembered today for the remarkable Jewish mystics who lived there in the sixteenth century, including Rabbis Joseph Karo, Solomon Alkabetz, Moses Cordovero, and Isaac Luria Ashkenazi. The sessions explore the origins of the Safed community, the kabbalistic ideas that emerged from it, the messianic expectations associated with its scholars, and the rich folklore that developed around Rabbi Isaac Luria in particular.
