The Jewish population of Spain thrived under Muslim rule. As we explore that time period, we'll take a look at the following questions:
- How do different cultural hubs develop in the region of Spain?
- How do the Jews develop their own genre of poetry in this region and what makes it uniquely beautiful?
- How do political turmoil and religious wars affect the Jews of Spain
