Abstract:
R. Nathan Shapiro of Krakow (1584-1633) was one of the most influential kabbalists in Poland at the beginning of the 17th century. Shapiro's teachings were published in his book Megalleh Ammuqot (Krakow 1636), which contains 252 homilies on Moses' prayer to enter the land of Israel in Deut. 3:23 ff. This article discusses Shapiro's homilies, which combine different sources, beginning with the writings of Hasidei Ashkenaz and continuing to Lurianic Kabbalah. The article focuses on Shapiro’s use of such Lurianic terms as gilgul neshamot, shvirah and tiqqun. The article attempts to present the connection between the unique structure of Shapiro's homilies and their contents, in addition to claiming that Shapiro's methodology is based on Lurianic themes.
