Great post, thanks for explaining so well R' Halevi's complex life. R' Halevi was singular in the Andalusian school in how he synthesized different approaches to Jewish thought, becoming, as you wrote, the anti-philosophical philosopher.

I've learned the Kuzari many times, teach a weekly class on it, and much of my worldview is based on this wonderful book.

In the coming weeks I'll be writing about the Land of Israel; many themes from the Kuzari will be in the background.

May we hear good news.

Great post, and even greater punchline. שנשמע ונתבשר בשורות טובות
