(ca. 1670–after 1736?), Sabbatian prophet and messianic pretender; central figure in early eighteenth-century Moravian Sabbatianism. Yehudah Leib Prossnitz was born in the southeastern Moravian town of Uherský Brod (Broda), and settled after his marriage in Prossnitz (Prostějov), where his wife’s family lived. Although he was not an educated man, at about age 30 he was drawn to Kabbalah, possibly under the influence of traveling Sabbatian prophets and preachers who visited Moravia at that time, such as Yehoshu‘a Heshel Tsoref, Yehudah Ḥasid, and Ḥayim Malakh. He adopted the ascetic life they preached, began to study the Zohar and other kabbalistic texts, and claimed to receive otherworldly instruction from the deceased Yitsḥak Luria and Shabetai Tsevi. Yehudah Leib soon acquired the reputation of an inspired kabbalistic preacher, attracting a local following and gaining the support of the local rabbi of Prossnitz, Me’ir Eisenstadt (ca. 1670–1744), who was not unsympathetic to Sabbatianism.
