ДВИЖЕЊЕТО НА ШАБАТАЈ ЦВИ И НЕГОВОТО ВЛИЈАНИЕ ВРЗ ЕВРЕИТЕ ВО ЕВРОПА
Shabbatai Zvi and its Impact on Jews in Europe

Summary/Abstract: The exposure of the Jewish element to constant persecutions by the authorities created a movement that ideologically opposed attempts at assimilation and the disappearance of Judaism. It actually represented a new form of Messianism adapted to the political situation in that period. After the mass exile of the Jews in 1492 from Spain, Portugal and other European countries, the disappointed population required an explanation of its own position in mysticism. It was then that Jews began to preach that the Messiah would soon come to gather all of them and establish a Jewish kingdom.
