Home›Rabbis, Kabbalists & Jewish Scholars›TraditionBrowse ByTraditionThis page groups historical figures by the religious tradition they belonged to or helped shape, connecting a person to the belief system that claims them. Wikipedia describes a tradition as "a system of beliefs or behaviors (folk custom) passed down within a group of people or society with symbolic meaning or special significance with origins in the past." Browsing this way lets a visitor read every founder, reformer or teacher from one tradition together, rather than finding them scattered by century.FactsTraditionConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsDirectoryCategoryWell-attestedHistorical Figures 1TraditionFilter Results1 entryEraAll100 to 165 (1)100 to 170 (1)1013 to 1103 (1)1240 to 1291 (1)1240 to 1305 (1)1248 to 1305 (1)135 to 165 (1)1510 to 1569 (1)1520 to 1609 (1)1522 to 1570 (1)1533 to 1600 (1)1534 to 1572 (1)1542 to 1620 (1)1646 to 1724 (1)1698 to 1760 (1)1704 to 1772 (1)1745 to 1812 (1)1772 to 1810 (1)1801 to 1875 (1)1806 to 1888 (1)1865 to 1935 (1)1902 to 1944 (1)1928 to 2007 (1)1935 to 2023 (1)50 to 70 (1)70 to 110 (1)birth_date = 90 (Wikipedia infobox, uncited) (1)Place of ActivityAllBelarus (1)Detroit (1)Hamburg (1)Israel (1)Jerusalem (1)Massachusetts (1)Messina (1)Morocco (1)Palestine (1)Prague (1)Safed (1)Segovia (1)Spain (1)Syria (1)Tunisia (1)Ukraine (1)GenderAllFemale (1)Male (1)HistoricityAllHistorically attested (1)Historicity debated (1)Veneration StatusAllHistorically Significant but Not Venerated (1)Officially Recognized or Venerated (1)Popularly or Locally Venerated (1)Manner Of DeathAllDied by accident or misadventure (1)Died by suicide (1)Died of natural causes (1)Martyred (1)NationalityAllAlgeria (1)Crown of Aragon (1)Germany (1)Holy Roman Empire (1)Kingdom of Castile (1)Ottoman Empire (1)Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (1)Portugal (1)Roman Empire (1)Russian Empire (1)Spain (1)The Holy Roman Empire (1)The Ottoman Empire (1)United States (1)Member OfAllRabbinical Assembly (1)Revered InAllJudaism (1)Adherents Today MaximumAll14,800,000 (1)Adherents Today MinimumAll14,800,000 (1)Basis of the Membership FigureAllIndependent Survey (1)Establishment StatusAllDeclared Not Established (1)How the Expectation Is EnforcedAllCustomary Norm (1)Membership Figure As OfAll2013-01-01 (1)2020-01-01 (1)Origin Period End YearAll400 BCE (1)Origin Period Start YearAll586 BCE (1)Position on SexualityAllThe body holds no single settled position; the question is actively and openly contested within it (1)Position on UsuryAllInterest is permitted but bound by ethical constraints against exploiting the poor (1)Practice StatusAllPartly restricted: some elements are closed to outsiders (1)Standard Rate ExpectedAllTen percent.
