    This document discusses several "false messiahs" in Jewish history who claimed they could return Jews to Jerusalem. Little information survives about many of these figures, and in some cases even their names are unknown. It then focuses on Sabbatai Zevi, a 17th century Jewish rabbi who declared himself the Messiah. Many Jews initially believed his claim and followed him until he eventually converted to Islam, disappointing his followers.
