The Jews of Muslim Spain: A Golden Age? Part 2
Summary
The urbanisation and Arabisation that Spanish Jews experienced in Al-Andalus (Muslim Spain), helped to establish thriving communities in cities and city-states such as Córdoba, Toledo, Seville and Granada. Their community leaders were court Jews, physicians, rabbis, poets, and often a combination of all of these.
