Question
do there exist any photos of the Arizal? What about the Baal Shem Tov? Or the Ramchal?
thank you
Answer
Shalom,
Thank you for your question. Historically, the earliest photography is from the 1820’s.
The Ari lived in the 1500’s.
The Baal Shem Tov in the 1700’s.
The Ramchal also lived in the 1700’s.
[p.s. we’re happy to answer your questions – but sometimes it would be better if you did a little research yourself before sending in your question.]
Blessings.
