What drives the rise of messianic figures in Jewish history? In this episode, we explore the tension between law and mysticism—two forces that have shaped Jewish thought for centuries.

Historian David Graizbord joins us to discuss how social, political, and spiritual conditions create the perfect storm for messianic movements. We examine figures like Shabtai Tzvi and even Jesus, asking what made their claims compelling and why their followers saw them as redeemers.

How does Jewish law push back against messianism? And how does mysticism keep the hope alive? Tune in for a deep dive into one of Judaism’s most complex and recurring dilemmas.
