The Messianic Ferment in Rabbi Moses Hayim Luzzatto’s Group in the Light of a Messianic Marriage Contract and Messianic Poems
View through CrossRef
This chapter focuses on Rabbi Moses Hayim Luzzatto's marriage to Zipporah, daughter of R. David Finzi, the rabbi of Mantua. It mentions kabbalist R. Samson Hayim Nahmani, who composed a poem in honour of Luzzatto and Zipporah, in which he compared their marriage to the union of Moses with the Shekhinah. It also sheds the light of a profound mystical experience on the play on names and the significance of Luzzatto's marriage. The chapter discusses the text of Luzzatto's marriage contract or ketubah and the extensive interpretation that describes his marriage as the union of Moses with his divine bride. It explores the Zohar and kabbalistic literature's content on the subject of erotic love between the righteous and the Shekhinah.
