Jesus: From Schweitzer to Scholem: Reflections on Sabbatai Svi
-
The one well-known exception is W. D. Davies's comparison between the Sabbataian messianic movement of the seventeenth century, which was so richly documented by G. Scholem, and the messianic movement that grew up around Jesus: "From Schweitzer to Scholem: Reflections on Sabbatai Svi," Journal of Biblical Literature 95 (1976): 529-58.

The Haredi Community in Jerusalem and the Sect of the Judean Desert

Already J. Liebes, in "The Haredi Community in Jerusalem and the Sect of the Judean Desert," Jerusalem Studies in Jewish Thought 3 (1972): 137-52 (Hebrew), compared the Dead Sea Scrolls with the thought of a radical anti-Zionist, R. Yeshayahu Asher Zelig Margolis, a spokesman for the zealous Hasidim in Jerusalem in the 1920s and 1930s.

Ravitzky, Revaled End, pp. 104-5. The dissonance experienced by the anti-Zionists is clear from R. Hayim Katznellbogen's retrospective glance in 1979: "Who can fortret the darkness of the six days in [1967], when . . . the Zionists arose, surveyed the earth, and declared war. And in the end they conquered all of Eretz Israel from the Arabs reaching the place of our glorious Temple. And the thing led to confusion and uncertainty which grew apace. Dunng the first week after the conquest, the sages forgot their wisdom he trial of successes and the [ostensible] miracles, as well as [their own] blindness ed them to dance around the [Golden] Calf. Perfectly pious Jews looked catastrophe in the face and could not cope with it" (translation from Ravitzky "Forcing the End" [n. 4 above] p.56). The "catastrophe" here is the success of the Israeli military, especially the recovery of the Old City of Jerusalem and the site of thhe Temple; the dangerous temptation these sites posed for anti-Zionists is shown by the fact that R. Teitelbalm immediately forbade his fo lowers to go to the newly liberated Western Wall and quickly published a warning tract called On Redemption and Its [Illegitimate] Substitutes.

M. Goodman, The Ruling Class of Judaea: The Origins of the Jewish Revolt against Rome, A.D. 66-70 [Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1987]). But Hengel's central insight that the revolt was strongly catalyzed by the religious beliefs of the revolutionaries should not be abandoned, especially when Josephus tells us, against his own general tendency, that the revolutionaries were "more than all else" motivated by messianic belief.

Toward an Understanding of the Messianic Idea in Judaism
-
London: Allen & Unwin
-
See G. Scholem, "Toward an Understanding of the Messianic Idea in Judaism," in his The Messianic Idea in Judaism and Other Essays on Jewish Spirituality (1959; London: Allen & Unwin, 1971), pp. 19-22. The antinomian tendencies in Kookist apocalypticism contrast with the way in which Habad messianism calls for joyful but exact observance of the Torah. For Habad, even the epiphany of the Messiah will bring no change in the Law; the laws of the redemption will be identical with the present laws of the Torah (see Ravitzky, Revealed End, p. 272). The Lubavitcher position, then, is rather similar to that of some groups of first-century Jews who accepted Jesus' messiahship but remained "zealous for the Law" (Acts 21:20). Such Christian Jews may have believed, like the author of the later Epistle of Peter to James 2.5, that "the Law of God . . . was made known by Moses and was confirmed by our Lord in its everlasting continuance" (cited inj. L. Martyn, "A Law-Observant Mission to Gentiles: The Background of Galatians," Scottish Journal of Theology 38 [1985]: 311).
