Maggid

Redirect to: Dovber of Mezeritch

Maggid ( ), sometimes spelled as magid , is a term used to describe two distinct concepts, the more common one defining a concrete person, and the other defining a celestial entity. The usual meaning is that of a traditional Eastern European Jewish religious itinerant preacher , skilled as a narrator of Torah and religious stories. A preacher of the more scholarly sort was called a " darshan ", and usually occupied the official position of rabbi . The title of "maggid mesharim" (= "a preacher of uprightness"; abbreviated ) probably dates from the sixteenth century. The other meaning appears in the context of Jewish mysticism and describes a celestial entity , most commonly an angel, who manifests itself as a voice delivering mystical secrets to a kabbalist, or sometimes speaking through the mouths of the chosen ones. There always have been two distinct classes of leaders in Israel—the scholar and rabbi, and the preacher or maggid. Like the Greek sophists , the early maggidim based their preaching on questions addressed to them by the multitude. Thus the Pesiqta, the first collection of set speeches, usually begins with "yelammedenu rabbenu" (= "let our master teach us"). An excellent example is the Passover Haggadah , which is introduced by four questions; the reciter of the answer is called "maggid." When there were no questions the maggid chose a Biblical text, which was called the "petichah" (opening). Sabbatai Sevi: The Mystical Messiah . Mention of religious figures experiencing maggid encounters: Joseph Karo (see his "Maggid Mesharim" (Preacher of Righteousness): the appearing maggid is the Mishnah herself), Nathan of Gaza , Abraham Yakhini, Rabbi Samson b. Pesah of Ostropol etc. : |access-date= requires |url= ( help ) "Biography of the Ramchal" . At the age of twenty, an inner spiritual voice, a Maggid revealed himself to the Ramchal ( Rabbi Moshe Haim Luzzatto of Padua ). In a letter to Rabbi Benjamin HaCohen in December 1729, he wrote: "While I was meditating on a Yihud, I fell into a sleep and when I woke, I heard a voice saying: "I have come down to reveal hidden secrets of the Saintly King."
