Safed Kabbalistic renaissance
The "Safed Kabbalistic renaissance" refers to a significant revival of Kabbalah, a mystical Jewish tradition, that took place in the 16th century in the city of Safed in northern Israel. This period was marked by the emergence of influential Kabbalists, such as Isaac Luria, who introduced new interpretations and teachings that reshaped Jewish mysticism.
During this renaissance, the study of Kabbalistic texts flourished, leading to the creation of important works like the Zohar and the Etz Chaim. The movement attracted many scholars and practitioners, fostering a vibrant community dedicated to exploring the spiritual dimensions of Judaism and the nature of the divine.
