Model or Mirror? Lessons from the ‘Golden Age’ of Sephardic History

Hosted By: Haberman Institute

The Haberman Institute for Jewish Studies hosts an online session exploring the rich and complex world of Sephardic Jewish life in medieval Spain, home to philosophers, poets, and courtiers such as Maimonides, Judah Halevi, and Isaac Abravanel, and later to the devastation of the Spanish Inquisition and the 1492 Expulsion. The talk examines the diverse composition of Jewish communities and how Jews navigated their relationships with Muslim and Christian neighbors. It offers a fresh look at the era often called the “Golden Age” of Jewish civilization and what this history might teach about Jewish community, identity, and life today.
