Definition: The word "Archiplata" refers to a Jewish denomination that was founded in the 2nd century AD by two brothers, Rabbi Judah and Rabbi Abraham, who lived in the land of Judah (Israel). The term comes from the Hebrew words "archi," meaning "three," and "platia," which is the plural form of "plato," referring to three places: one in the center and two on both sides. The Archipedia movement was founded by Rabbi Abraham, who sought to reform Judaism through the teachings of the Kabbalah. The movement aimed to maintain traditional Jewish practices while also embracing new religious ideas and practices that were considered progressive at the time. Rabbi Judah taught about the Ten Commandments as he believed them to be essential for a just society. He emphasized the importance of humility, kindness, and tolerance in maintaining peace and justice within Judaism. The movement was led by a number of prominent rabbis, including Rabbi Shmuel Eida, who is credited with popularizing Kabbalah and its applications in Jewish law. The Archipedia movement continued to influence Jewish life in various ways throughout the centuries. However, it eventually split into two branches: the Araya Movement which adhered to the teachings of Judah, and the Shammai Movement, which emphasized traditional Jewish customs while embracing new ideas like Kabbalah and Talmudic teachings. The name "Archipedia" was also used in other contexts by Jews who were interested in learning about or understanding Kabbalah. This term became a literary term for Kabbalistic concepts and ideas at the time, reflecting its complex nature.
