The 1000 year Jewish story of Sepharad is one of triumph and despair. Join Keshet Israel Educator, Kayla Ship, for a virtual tour of Cordoba, home of Hasdai ibn Shaprut, Yehuda Halevi, and Maimonides and impressive landmarks such as La Mezquita. We will highlight the “Golden Age” of Spain and its contribution to Hebrew poetry, science, medicine, and Jewish philosophy.
