Judah haLevi (also Yehuda Halevi or ha-Levi; Hebrew: יהודה בן שמואל הלוי, romanized: Yəhūḏā ben Šəmūʾēl halLēvī; Arabic: أبو الحسن يهوذا اللاوي, romanized: Abū-l-Ḥasan Yahūḏā al-Lāwī;[4][5] c. 1075 – 1141) was a Sephardic Jewish poet, physician and philosopher. He was born in Al-Andalus, either in Toledo or Tudela, in 1075.[6] He is thought to have died in 1141, in either Jerusalem, at that point the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem, or in Alexandria, Fatimid Egypt.[6]
Halevi is considered one of the greatest Hebrew poets and is celebrated for his secular and religious poems, many of which appear in present-day liturgy. His most famous philosophical work is the Kuzari.[7]
