Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav
The messianism of Rabbi Nachman is one of the most fascinating stories in Jewish history. A great grandson of the founder of Hasidism who was born in 1772, he grew to become a major force within the Hasidic movement. His charisma and Torah knowledge attracted many followers. His messianism and the continued belief of his followers is one of the mysteries of Jewish history that has yet to be solved.
