Gaza, a Mediterranean port in southern Palestine, sheltered a Jewish community attested from Antiquity by rabbinic and archaeological sources. In the Hellenistic and Byzantine periods, it played an active commercial role. In the seventeenth century, the city was an important center of Sabbatianism: Nathan of Gaza proclaimed Sabbatai Tsevi as the Messiah there in 1665.
