ha-Kuzari, written by Judah Halevi in the 12th century, is a foundational text in Jewish philosophy. Originally written in Arabic and later translated into Hebrew, this work takes the form of a dialogue in which a Khazar king searches for the true religion. The king engages with representatives of various faiths, including a Jewish sage, whose arguments ultimately convince the king to convert to Judaism.
Through this fictionalized account, Halevi explores core tenets of Jewish belief, practice, and history. ha-Kuzari defends Judaism against philosophical challenges and articulates a comprehensive worldview encompassing theology, ethics, and Jewish peoplehood. This early Hebrew edition offers scholars and students access to this classic text in its original language, preserving the nuances of Halevi's thought and its enduring influence on Jewish intellectual tradition.
