N2 - Earlier scholars of medieval Jewish poetry and philosophy found links between the Rabbi Judah Halevi's (= Rihal) philosophy and his poetry, and between his poetry and the philosophy of his generation. It is not for nothing that Franz Rosenzweig was interested in the Rihal's poetry; other scholars also turned to the philosophical analysis of various poems of Rihal, comparing the poetry with the philosophy found therein. In my book Poetry in the Sephardic Piyyut in Light of the Liturgical Poetry of Rihal, I showed that various subjects in the Book of Kuzari help us understand his poetry and poetics. In this paper I will examine several of the Rihal's poems in light of the extensive descriptions of the behavior of the hasid in the first paragraphs of chapter 3 of the Kuzari.
