Isaac Luria (1534-1572) is one of the most extraordinary and
influential mystical figures in the history of Judaism, a visionary
teacher who helped shape the course of nearly all subsequent Jewish
mysticism. Given his importance, it is remarkable that this is the
first scholarly work on him in English. Most studies of Lurianic
Kabbalah focus on Luria’s mythic and speculative ideas or on the
ritual and contemplative practices he taught. The central premise
of this book is that Lurianic Kabbalah was first and foremost a
lived and living phenomenon in an actual social world. Thus the
book focuses on Luria the person and on his relationship to his
disciples. What attracted Luria’s students to him? How did they
react to his inspired and charismatic behavior? And what roles did
Luria and his students see themselves playing in their collective
quest for repair of the cosmos and messianic redemption?
