Yair Klartag describes the story of the mystical composer Moshe Najara, who is located in Sabbateanism, as an »extreme case of historiography that reaches the limits of rationality and merges into irrational mysticism«. His messianic visions of sound inspired him to create his multi-layered lecture-concert.
