		Moses Hayyim Luzzatto was a scholar and mystic of the 18th century.
		Luzzatto believed himself to be a reincarnation of Moses and ascribed to himself the role of redeeming Israel.

		Secondly, Moses misleads the people into thinking that G-d was angry with them for asking for water, which was not true.
		Moses and Aaron leave the people with the mistaken impression that they, not G-d, drew water from a particular rock, rather than from a random rock.
		And even though the commentators heap upon Moses and Aaron many shortcomings, perhaps unfairly, there are many lessons for us to learn from the insights of the commentators, as well as the deeds or misdeeds of Moses and Aaron.

		Although even in their secret writings Luzzatto, Moses David Valle, and their companions repudiated the claims of Shabbetai Zevi and his followers, they were without doubt deeply influenced by some of the paradoxical teachings of Shabbatean Kabbalah, especially those concerning the metaphycial prehistory of the Messiah's soul in the realm of the klippot.
		Luzzatto formulated these ideas in a manner which removed the obviously heretical elements but still reflected, even in his polemics against the Shabbateans, much of their spiritual universe.
