Isaac ben Solomon Luria Ashkenazi (Hebrew: יִצְחָק בן שלמה לוּרְיָא אשכנזי; c. 1534[1] – July 25, 1572[2]), commonly known in Jewish religious circles as Ha'ari[a], Ha'ari Hakadosh[b] or Arizal,[c] was a leading rabbi and Jewish mystic in the community of Safed in the Galilee region of Ottoman Syria, now Israel. He is considered the father of contemporary Kabbalah,[5] his teachings being referred to as Lurianic Kabbalah.
While his direct literary contribution to the Kabbalistic school of Safed was extremely minute (he wrote only a few poems), his spiritual fame led to their veneration and the acceptance of his authority. The works of his disciples compiled his oral teachings into writing. Every custom of Luria was scrutinized, and many were accepted, even against previous practice.[4]
Luria died at Safed on July 25, 1572, and is buried at the Old Jewish Cemetery, Safed.[4][2] The Ari Ashkenazi Synagogue, also located in Safed, was built in memory of Luria during the late 16th century.[6]
