Ottoman Dönmes between Kabbala (Jewish Mysticism) and Sufism

Cengiz Şişman University of HÔuston-Clear Lake.

The aim of this presentation is to contextualize Sufi Dönmes in the larger his to·

ry of Onoman Sufism. The Dönmes are the followers of a Jewish Kabbalist and

rabbi, Sabbatai S evi, who created one of the biggest messianic mavemen ts in the

Ottoman Empire in 1665-1666. His mavement and its subsequent developments

represent one of the most enigmatic and paradoxical ep isodes in Onoman and

Jewish history in_ early modem and modem times. When Sabbatai Sevi was

forced to convert to Islam by the Ottoman authorities in ı666, a smail number of

believers followed in him and became Muslim; an other smail group ofbelievers

remained in the Jewish folds, and yet anather group converted to Christian­

ity in later centuries. Because of its mysterious nature, Sabbataians or better

known Dönmes have been the object of mu ch specularion by different people

such as Jewish rabbis, Muslim officials, Christian missionaries, and conspiracy

theorists since i ts inception. Depending on the observers, the Sabbataians were

labeled as "Ma'amin/believers", "New Muslims" "Donmes/pseudo-converts",

"Mamzarim/bastards", "heretics", "Muhammedan Jews," or "crypto-believers."

One of the most curious questions about the Dönmes, who practiced Islam

in public, and post-messianic Judaism in accordance with the principles of

Lurianic atzilut world privately, was as to how they maintained their enigrnat­

ic identity over centuries. Based on the Onoman, Jewish, European and mis­

sionary records, I first discuss the interaction between the Kabhalistic and Sufi

worlds within the Onoman context; then I show how these former Kabbalists

transformed into Sufis; and then I conclude with the argument that a good

number ofDönmes survived their enigmatic identities by adhering to "hetero­

dox" Sufi orders, such as Bektashiye, Melamiye and Mevleviye, mainly located

in SaJonica. In these tariqas, the Dönmes were able sustain their "heterodox" practices and double idenrity not only as dervishes but also as shaykhs as re­

flecred in the life of a famous Mevlevi shaykh and of Dönme descent, Selanikli

Mehmet Esad Dede. A discussion on this topic would aiso help us to under­

stand the relarionship between the Ottoman Su.fi world and non-Islamic mys­

tical circles, a subject that is relatively unknown in Ottoman history.

From the earliest days, the Dönmes attended Sufi lodges for both pragmatic

and religious reasons. O nce m aso ni c lodges began to appear in Salonica at the

en d of the nineteenth century, the assimilated ones increasingly shifted their

attendance to this new type ofbrotherhood. From a strictly orthodox Dönme

po int of view, it was an abamination to be a ınember of another brotherhood

in which you share your "secrets" with new brothers. D esp i te the ban, howev­

er, some Dönmes attended both.

To address how the Dönmes preserved their enigmatic identity throughout

the centuries, in my previous works I argued that the Sufi world provided them

with a safe spiritual haven where they created a hybrid Kabbala-Sufi identi­

ty.1 Similar arguments are stili put forwardina number of studies.2 However,

based on the written and oral sources, I now believe that not all the Dönmes

had in fact chosen this path, and that therefore the impact of Sufism on the

Dönmes' existence was not as great as we had once imagined. The majority

of Dönme men and almost all Dönme women kept their enigmatic identity

alive by fallawing the principles of the Neo-Lurianic Dönme Kabbala There­

fore, rather than forming a new "syncreric'· religion that com~ined elements

from Kabbala aiıd Sutism, they created a meta-religion within a po~t-messian­

ic Jewish framework, which was different from all the ex.isting religions. This

meta-religian was inherently, in Kafadar's terminology, meta-doxic, a state of

being beyand all kinds of"doxies."3 Despite the rabbinical ban, Sabbateanism

and its failure strongly encouraged the study of Kabbala apıong the Ottoman

Jews rather than restraining it, as had occurred in Westem Europe.4 The out­

standing example of this trend was the bo ok Hemdat Ya m im that was also most

likely studied by the Dön m es along with the ir own mystical texts.

Sabbatai's interest in Sufism is well known. Friedlander claimed that the no­

tion of taf.:iyye was of Shi'a origin, and that it was transferred to the Sabbatean

culture via Sufism.5 Likewise, Scholem asserts that "the justifi.cation of their

taJ..:iyye may as easily be considered a paraHel to Sufi. conceptions asa result of

Sufi-Bektashi influences."6 Elqayam goes even further and claims that "Sevi's

utterances of the Ineffable Name, as well as his exelamation 'Beside me there is

no God' marks himasa Sufi mystic, like Al-Bişçami and Al-:E:Ialliij ." Rapoport

draws some parallels between Sabbateanism and the Bektashis intheir liberal

treatment of women.i Baer argues that their syncretic religion was a spiritual

synthesis based on two religions that incorporated elements of Kabbala and

Sufism.8 All of these arguments are partly true, since during their formative

period, the S~bbatean communities borrowed some "forms" from Sufi prac­

tices such as the master-disciple relationship, takiyye (dissimulation), andzikr (mystical recitation). But, as their numerous prayer and hymns books, mystical

texts, and oral traditions suggest, Dönme Kabbala have remained essential­

ly within the framework of the post-messianic Jewish mysticism. I agree with

Bitek, who said that one could detect the effect ofSufism on Sabbateanisİn on

the surface, but in i ts core it remained a b ran ch of Jewish mysticism.9 To an­

other contemporary Dönme elder, Islamic and Sufi elements became part of

Sabbateanism as long as they did not contradict the main Sabbatean tenets.10

Although limited, the interaction and overlapping of Sufi and Kabbala practices

resulted in creative hybrids. After all, Salonica was famous for its Sufis and Sufi

lodges, and some Dönmes developed a genuine interest in Sufism.U A recently

fo und Harvard manuscript containing Dönme hymns tesrifres to the level of in­

teraction already happening in the middle of the eighteenth centuryPAn exam­

ination of the manuscript shows that the Ottoman couplets and distiches, which

set the hymns' melodic tones, were not randem but leamed choices whose

meaning reflects the deveticnal Sephardic hymns, expressed as a yeaming for

the beloved, God, or the messiah.13 Most of the Dönme liturgical hymns and

prayers were produced in Hebrew and Ladino, but since the early eighteenth

century, the Turkish language and music infiltrated the Sabbatean liturgy. As

seen in the Harvard Manuscript, Attias and Amarillo collections that consist of

Ladino and Turkish songs and hymns written in Hebrew characters, Turkish al­ready had becoıne part of the Sa b batean liturgical world by the mid-eighteenth

century. At the tum of the nineteenth century, Dervish Efendi's commentary

cites the original Hebrew text of the Bible and was written in normative Ladi­

no, ".yjth some additional Hebrew and Turkish words. He, for exarnple, refers to

Sevi as Tsadik temel del mundo (the righteous man [in Hebrew], the foundation

[in Turldsh] ·of the world [in Ladino]). Schauffler's encounter with the Dönmes

in the mid-nineteenth century, and communication with them in Turkish, also

confirms that theDönmeseven produced Kabhalistic textsin Turldsh.'4

Most of the liturgy was composed for communal worship and religious assem­

blies in the seeret synagogues and private houses. As Ben Zwi hinted, it is clear

from the eight prayers in Attias's book in which the word 'arnen' recurs twelve

times, and the sixth prayer in which the phrase "the Lord is God" recurs twen­

ty-five times, that these songs and hymns were chanted together in the meet­

ings. Meetings were led by religious leaders, known as Hocas and singers/poets

known as paytanim, who in some cases also composed the hymns they recited.

Today, we know of the existence of al most 1,500 hymns and songs belonging to

different periods of the Dönmes, and they are yet to be published. Bi tek told me

that they used to meet in a house called Ortaeui, surrounded by big walls, and

maintained by an elderly couple, and sang songs and hymns, including the fa­

mous M elise/da that Sabbatai S evi loved so mu ch, as well as the fallawing on es:

Refrain.

Devotional songs and liturgies could not be imagined withôut music. I was

not surprised when I heard that one of the most important S ab batean prayer

phrases were sung to the melody of a famous Turkish Mevlevi composer Itri's

(1640-17U) widely-known tekbir. Instead of Alliihu Akbar Alliihıı Akbar La I/aha

· I7/ii Alliihu Alliilıu Akbar, the Sabbatean prayer goes with the same melody as

Sabbatai SeviSahatay Sevi esparamos a ti ISahatay SeviSahatay Sevi no es un otro

komoa ti.

The Dönmes' pragmatic interest in unorthodox Sufi orders was not coinciden­

tal. As Salonica was located geographically on the outer limits of central gov­

emmental authority, the unorthodox Su.fis were likewise positioned on the mar­

gins of the central religious authority. Especially the Melamis (lit: condemned)

and Bektashis were notorious for their gnostic and antinamian tendencies. In

these lodges, the Dönmes could maintain their beliefs and practices without

being harassed by the orthodox Islamic authorities. Also, the early Sabbate­

ans believed that other religions could also contain "sparks" of the Truth, and

therefore it was not a bad idea to penetrate in to other religions. Regardless of

whether they were Sufis or not, however, all the Dönme males had to attend

Friday prayers and Islamic high-holiday prayers in mosques, since these were

obligatory rituals for Muslim males. Therefore, the Dönme knowledge of Is­

lam and Sufism could also stern from hearing these sermons and prayers.

In time, Yaktıbis developed an interest primarily in the Melami Sufis, Kapaners

mainly in the Mevlevi Sufis, and the Karakaş mainly in the Bektashi Sufis. A

few attended other Sufi orders, including the Nakşibendiyye. But we do not

know when and how many of them developed indinations toward particular

orders. The Bektashi order, which had been historically associated with the

Janissaries, was abolished in ı8ı6; their lodges, including the ones in Salonica, were closed and their members were persecuted and even executed.15 Because

of this, it was difficult to publicly remain a Bektashi un til the en d of the Tan­

zimat period, after which the pressure on them was slowly lifted.16

15 The Bektashi convents, such as the Kara Baba Tekkesi, located at the center of Salonica, and

Bayezid Baba Tekkesi, located in Babaköy, ne ar Salonica, were dos ed and their properties were

confiscated. For the fate of other Bektashi convents in the Balkans, see BOA, MAD, # 977.

The fust known Dönme Melamis were the students of Nural-Arabi (d.l888),17

Ali Örfi Efendi, Usturumcalı Hacı Süleyman Bey, and Osman Zevki Efendi, all

of who m served as dervishes and shaykhs in different lodges in the Balkans.

The first known Dönme Mevlevi dervish (la ter, the shaykh) was Karakaş İshak Efendi/Dede, who was affiliated with a Sufi convent, Mevlevihane in 1825.'8

Due to his erudition in mysticism, İshak Efendi is said to have been a Sufi

shaykh and ogan (rabbi) of the Dönme community at the same rime.'9 Among

those Dönmes who were actively involved in Sufi orders, Mehmed Esad Dede

(1843-19Lİ) was perhaps the most interesting.20 He was bom to the family of "Avdeti" Hanuş Hanım and Receb Efendi (Paşarel) Bey, a merchant and one of

the key figures in establishing the Terakki schools.

He had one sister and three brothers: Emin Receb, who married a British wom­

an and di ed in Manchester; Refik Receb; and İsmail Receb (1853-1913), who al so married a British woman anddiedin England. All the brothers were in the tex­

tile business.21 Note that marrying outsiders had already startedin the second

half of the nineteenth century. Mehmet Esat received his early education from

a Dönme teacher. According to the account that he shared with his students,

Esat had a dream during his childhood that changed the course of his life. In

the dream, he saw himselfas having fallen into a dark pit The prophet Mu­hammed came and rescued him from the pit, upon which he was "ennobled

with the glory oflslam." He was subsequently initiated into the Mevlevi order,

and then (1864) sought his fortune in Istanbul where he becan1e one of the

most influential M ev le\ i shaykhs at the tum of the twentieth century. He was

appointed the shaykh of the Yenikapı lodge and subsequendy the Kasımpaşa Mevlevihane. Sharing this dream with his students in his advanced age, Meh­

met Esat seems to have wanted to set the record straight about himself, that he

"really" converted to Islam. Same of his students were Hüseyin Vassaf, Ahmed

Avni Konuk, Mehmed AkifErsoy, and Tahir ül-Mevlevi. He taught poetry, Ar-

17 About Nural-Arabi and the Melamis, see Abdulbaki Gölpınarlı, (Istanbul: Devlet Matbaasi, 1931). In the nineteenth century, there were two Melami convents in Salonica, one of which was headed by Örfi Dede. Hasluck,, ll: 525.

18 Stavroulakis, , p. 72. There is also a Dönme tradition, daiming that that Hayatizade Emin Efendi, who w as the grandson of Hayatizade Mustafa Efendi and served asa shaykh-ul-islam in 1748, was a Sabbatean believer.

19 He seems to have settled in ızmir after the population exchange, but 1 was not able to con­

firm this. His descendants continue to be active in the Sufi lodges, i ncluding his grandson, the

famous Turkish diplomat, Emre Gönensay.

abic, and Persian in different mosques and madrasas, and wrote extensive com­

mentaries on Ibn Arabi's Fuşüş al-Hikam and Rüml's Masnavi, and came to be

known as Mesnevihan (the one who reads and explicates Masnavi).22 Not sur­

prisingly, his name was included not only among the holy men (evli ya) of the ord er but also in the bibliographical dictionaries of religious sçholars (ulema),

sin ce he attended madrasas both in Salonica and IstanbuP3 Mehmet Esat nev­

er disconnected from his family. One of the descendants of his family, Pamir Bezmen, relates that Esat continued to pay monthly visits to the office of his

grandfather, Halil Ali Bezmen, to receive his "pocket money."24

The Kapancıs' connection to the M evlevis became mo re evidem at the tum of

the century. The children of the Mevlevi shaykhs, for instance, received free education at the Terakki schools, and the shaykhs appeared in their opening

ceremonies.25 One could suspect that these shaykhs were Dönme Mevlevis as

well. W e als o see several Kapancı musicians such as Selanikli O u di Ahmet ~ey

(ı868-1927) and Faiz Kapancı, who actually played in the Mevlevihane, and

composed hundreds of songs. Hasan A.kif's descendant Esin Eden makes fre­quent allusions to her farnilies' connection to the Mevlevis. Yıldız Sertel tells

how her grandfather Nazmi Efendi enjoyed participating in Mevlevi ceremo­

nies.26 And Haluk Bitek, in our conversations, has always said how much he

enjoyed Mevl~vi philosophy and way·oflife.

As discussed so far, although limited, the interaction and overlapping of Sufi and Kabbala practices resulted in creative hybrids in the Ottoman Sufi world.

But a further d iscussion on this topic would also h elp us to understand the re­

lationship between the Ottoman Sufi world and non-Islamic mystical circles,

a subject that is relatively unknown in Ottoman history.
