He was born in Spain, either in Toledo or Tudela, in 1075 or 1086, and died shortly after arriving in the Holy Land in 1141, at that point the Crusader Kingdom of Yerusalem. Rebbi Yehuda Halevi is considered one of the greatest Hebrew poets, celebrated both for his religious and secular poems, many of which appear in present-day liturgy. His greatest philosophical work was the - The Kuzari Book It is the philosophical work of Rebbi Yehuda Halevi [Riha"l], written in the year 1139 in Jewish Arabic. The Jewish sage Rebbi Yehuda Ben Tibbon translated this book from Arabic to Hebrew. The first Hebrew of the book was called "The Kuzari Book" and thus acquired its famous name. The book is written in the form of a conversation between the king of the Khazars and a Jewish sage about the foundations of Judaism. The story of the voluntary conversion of the Khazars several generations earlier serves the author as a background and basis for the character of a Khazar king. The Kuzari book is considered one of the pillars of Jewish philosophy in particular, and of Jewish thought in general. The book, which consists of five parts, is written in five essays. It describes and protects the tenets of the Jewish faith, at a time when Judaism is between the Christian hammer and the Muslim anvil, and in an attack of both parts of philosophy and on the part of the Karaites [Group of Jews who left Judaism who refused to follow the Sages]. The book makes externalframe use of the Platonic methodology of dialogue, with a slightly different interpretation of the concept of the dialogue, and from an internal-perceptual point of view Rebbi Yehuda Halevi who often uses Aristotelian conceptions, despite his principled opposition to them, to illustrate the ideas he presents.By way of dialogues between the king of the Khazars who is looking for a new religion, and the Jewish sage who describes Judaism to him, Rebbi Yehuda Halevi shows a whole foundation of the Jewish faith that is not based on cold philosophical logic, but on historical prophetic revelation, which does not contradict rational thinking here. Through the questions and investigations of King Kuzor, Rebbi Yehuda Halevi confronts different religions, הכוזרי Kuzari 5 beliefs, and philosophical opinions, and presents the position of Judaism on these issues, according to his interpretation. In contrast to theoretical philosophical books, this book is vibrant and alive and challenges the reader to continue reading it due to its form, style, and content. Rebbi Yehuda Halevi's deep knowledge of the virtues of Judaism, his broad philosophical education, as well as his scientific understanding and profession [physician] are evident in the book.
