	Yehuda Halevi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This yearning was deepened by his intense application to his religio-philosophical work, and by his resulting clearer insight into Judaism; and at length he decided to set out on a journey to the Land of Israel.
		For himself at least, he wished "to do away with the contradiction of daily confessing a longing, and of never attempting to realize it" (Kaufmann, "Jehuda Halevi"); and therefore, on the death of his wife, he bade "fare-well" to daughter, grandson, pupils, friends, rank, and affluence.
		After a stormy passage, he arrived in Egyptian Alexandria, where he was enthusiastically greeted by friends and admirers.

		The work is divided into five essays ("ma'amarim"), and takes the form of a dialogue between the pagan king of the Khazars and a Jew who had been invited to instruct him in the tenets of the Jewish religion.

		Halevi asserts that no comparison is possible between Jewish culture, which in his view is based upon religious truth, and Greek culture, which is based upon science only.

		It has been said of Halevi that the Hebrew language was like "soft wax in his hands", and certainly the variety of form, tone and address in Levin's versions, steeped in the English of the "authorised version", seem to bear this out.
		With Levin's copious notes in which the richness of Halevi's art of Biblical allusion is made manifest, these versions constitute a veritable education in the art and milieu of medieval Hebrew poetry.
		Halevi survived this and other storms before his ship put in at Alexandria, where he tarried for nine months of gracious living, before undertaking the onward journey to his final destination.

		Two forms of tum'a in the Torah appear to negate Rabbi Yehuda Halevi's theory: that of the childbearing woman, and the tum'a brought on by normal sexual relations (15:18).
		Both these contexts involve specifically the creation of new life - the direct opposite of the phenomenon which, according to Rabbi Yehuda Halevi, is responsible for the onset of tum'a in general.
