The story actually doesn’t completely end there, in a previous video you mentioned the Bal-Shem-Tov, who used kabbala in his teaching. However, due entirely to the story on this video, there was a massive movement against him and his successors, known as the ‘misnagdim’ (or roughly translated, ‘the apposition’). If you can do a video on this, that would be amazing, it leads all the way to our times, and would explain the general split in the different community’s and the ‘Chabad-Lubavitch community’ you mentioned in the Chanukah episode.

Honestly I always think its really good when people of religion are willing to find out real history and learn more about the true history and events around your faith rather than just use one book for everything in life. It doesn't harm your faith in any way even if you learn things that don't totally fit with the accepted dogma, scripture etc surly that's what faith is all about. In my opinion knowing as much as possible and learning can only be a good thing. As a agnostic I really don't like organised religion at all but that's another story. I have absolutely no problems with personal faith and always try to understand and defend anyone's right to be themselves and do, think, feel, believe of or in whatever that person wants. As long as it doesn't hurt anyone else and they are willing to accept that things might not be as their religion says all the time, at least question it, even if at the end they decide the new view is wrong. The best Christians etc I've met and talked to have been the ones who remain open to new ideas but retain their beliefs all the same and have found their own way to believe in the scripture etc. Peace, hope I've not offended you in any way I truly wanted to say I think your approach is the right one.

I spent some time in Amsterdam a few decades ago. The aftershocks of Dhabbetai Zvi were very apparent. Many substantial differences in liturgical practice, as a strong reaction to Sabbatarianism, to expunge it, were strictly observed. Anything that smacked of kabbalah had been removed. Prior to this, Amsterdam was called the Jerusalem of the West. A later Chief Rabbi of the Amsterdam Ashkenazi congregation, Zvi Hersh Ashkenazi, became embroiled in a fierce conflict over a suspected Sabbatarian author. His departure from Amsterdam marked the beginning of decline.

Okay I need help on a couple points: 1) - I thought 'Sabbatean' was a term derived from 'sabbath' - used to describe those Christian movements that observe a 7th day sabbath rather than Sunday (for instance, 7th Day Adventists, 'Messianic Christians' and similar). Does Sevy have anything to do with this? Are the two words only incidentally similar; or did I make this idea up all together? 2) - I wonder if Sevy's effect on Judaism had anything to do with the (I suppose more modern) Jewish conception that the 'Messiah' is an era, a state of mind, or even a symbol of Jewish prosperity, rather than an actual figure -- whether it is or isn't, I would love to see a video on 'Messiah = symbol, not person.' and 3) - you said early in the video, that recent scholarship has made connections showing how Sabbateanism influenced Christianity and Islam afterword, but I didn't hear much on this... What influences? Thanks,

Sabbatai is the name of Saturn in Hebrew, and the Sabbath is Satur(n)-day. Zvi's name is probably self-adopted. So both refer to the Sabbath in some way. According to Wikipedia, the Christian movements are called Sabbatarianism; in other languages (like mine), the names are identical. Still, two very different movements.

I'd like to know Sabbetai Tzvi's pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton.

Have you done a show about the Jews of Greece? In particular, I would like to learn more about the Romaniote community in the 17-19th centuries. Thanks

Can you do a video on samaritans? I've vaguely gathered some stuff from wikipedia but it would cool to see your thoughts on how they were distinct from jews and how the groups related to eachother

Excellent video!

I wish people said it is hard to make psychological diagnoses from historical documents more often

In other words, blasphemer goes on to blaspheme some more untill he decides to blaspheme in a slightly different way.

So fascinating!

And this is how Chassidic Sausage was made.

Ok so this is 100% irrelevant, but I was wondering why a united kingdom of Solomon is so impossible in the archeological record. Couldn't it have been united and still be nomadic similar to how the mongol tribes united? It was a thought I had recently, and was wondering what evidence could debunk it.

great video!

Do you think there’s any comparison between the messianic predictions of the time and the last few decades Christian religious resurgence and predictions of the messiah or the end of the world?

Same product new packaging. It never just ends.

16:30 I just got that course recently

Interesting how you mention that the lurianic kabbalah views the adam and eve original sin to play such a role. I didn't know the original sin concept exists out side of Christianity

Is there any material planned for Simon Magus?

One highly significant factor in the phenomenal spread of Sabbateanism you neglected to consider and include was the Khmelnytsky Uprising between 1648 and 1657 in the eastern portions of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in which tens of thousands of Jews were killed by rebellious Cossack forces. Terror and despair, widespread among the Jews of Eastern Europe, made them susceptible to quirky theology of Shabbetai Zvi.

Aw, so many memories from my Uni years. THEOLOGY RULES ❤

There are still followers of Shabtai Zvi in Turkey.

Whoa, watching this and, by pure chance, knitting "Smyrna Lace"

The group that thought he was on a secret mission when he converted... ...early Q-anon! 🤷🏻‍♂️ Just kidding! 😂 Great video

"He's not the messiah, he 's a very bipolar boy!'

Brilliant analysis

Facinating, as usual

imagine being a simple jew in a ghetto in poland and you hear that the Messiah has come , all the jews in the world say this is the real Messiah , finally we will be liberated and we will rule the world , and after this mass hysteria , the Messiah converts to Islam 😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵
