Home›Rabbis, Kabbalists & Jewish Scholars›Veneration Status›Officially Recognized or VeneratedBrowse ByOfficially Recognized or VeneratedThis page groups historical figures by how actively they are venerated today, from figures with a living feast day and shrine to ones remembered only in scholarship. Many traditions formalize this status through a process such as canonization, which Wikipedia defines as "the declaration of a deceased person as an officially recognized saint." Browsing this way lets a visitor tell a figure with ongoing devotion apart from one preserved only in historical record.FactsOfficially Recognized or VeneratedConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsDirectoryCategoryWell-attestedHistorical Figures 1Officially Recognized or VeneratedFilter Results12 entriesGenderAllFemale (1)Male (11)TraditionAllJudaism (11)HistoricityAllHistorically attested (10)Historicity debated (1)EraAll100 to 165 (1)1013 to 1103 (1)1240 to 1291 (1)1520 to 1609 (1)1704 to 1772 (1)1745 to 1812 (1)1772 to 1810 (1)1865 to 1935 (1)1928 to 2007 (1)70 to 110 (1)birth_date = 90 (Wikipedia infobox, uncited) (1)Revered InAllJudaism (12)Manner Of DeathAllDied by accident or misadventure (1)Died by suicide (1)Died of natural causes (3)Office HeldAllChief rabbi of Prague from 1597 (1)NationalityAllAlgeria (1)Belarus (1)Israel (1)Kingdom of Aragon (Historical) (1)Latvia (1)Poland (1)Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (Historical) (1)Roman Empire (Historical) (2)Ukraine (1)United States (1)BrowseCompareSelect all 12Abraham AbulafiaOfficially Recognized or VeneratedAbraham Isaac KookOfficially Recognized or VeneratedBruriahOfficially Recognized or VeneratedDov Ber of MezeritchOfficially Recognized or VeneratedIsaac AlfasiOfficially Recognized or VeneratedIsaac ben Samuel of AcreOfficially Recognized or VeneratedJudah Loew ben BezalelOfficially Recognized or VeneratedNachman of BreslovOfficially Recognized or VeneratedNehunya ben HaKanahOfficially Recognized or VeneratedSherwin WineOfficially Recognized or VeneratedShimon bar YochaiOfficially Recognized or VeneratedShneur Zalman of LiadiOfficially Recognized or VeneratedConnectionsAssociated WithEurope, Continents Well-attested This source names Europe directly: "East, the Hasidic masters of Eastern Europe, and the modern founders of Reform, Positive-Historical and Humanistic Judaism."Source Divinity Atlas Directory Prose, First Edition Category Descriptionstier 1Spain, Countries Well-attested This source names Spain directly: "medieval halakhists and kabbalists of Spain and the Near East, the Hasidic masters of Eastern Europe, and the modern founders of Reform, Positive-Historical and Humanistic Judaism."Source Divinity Atlas Directory Prose, First Edition Category Descriptionstier 1Sources1.
