abstract
  • Sabbatai Zevi, (Hebrew: שַׁבְּתַי צְבִי,Shabbetay Ẓevi, other spellings include Sabetay Sevi in Turkish), (August 1, 1626, in Izmir—possibly September 17, 1676, in Dulcigno (present day Ulcinj), Montenegro) was a rabbi and kabbalist who claimed to be the long-awaited Jewish Messiah, and later converted to Islam. He was the founder of the Jewish Sabbatean movement and inspired the founding of a number of other similar sects, such as the Dönmeh in Turkey. Sabbatai Zevi was born in Smyrna on (supposedly) 9th Av 1626 (a Sabbath), and died, according to some, on Yom Kippur, September 30, 1676, in Dulcigno, a small town in the coastal region of Montenegro, now called Ulcinj. Zevi's family were Romaniotes from Patras; his father, Mordecai, was a poor poultry dealer in the Morea. Later, when in consequence of the war between Turkey and Venice under the Sultan Ibrahim I, Smyrna became the center of Levantine trade, Mordecai became the Smyrnan agent of an English house. As a consequence, he acquired considerable wealth.
