Arab invaders set foot on the Iberian Peninsula at the beginning of the 8th century AD between and Little did the Spanish Jews know how upended their world would be for it: Those had been times of violent bullying, scapegoating and misery for Spanish Jews.

The late Wisigoth kings had stripped them of any right they might have had and coerced them into either converting or leaving the country. Muslim rule would mean the shift from victims of unbridled violence inflicted upon them daily to dhimmia, a status whereby Jews would be required to pay a special tax. The status provided that, as People of the Book, their rights would be protected, as would their freedom of religion the right to worship their God , judiciary autonomy the right to rule themselves under separate legal courts , economic freedom the right to choose any trade to make a living off of , the right to travel unhindered, all within the boundaried of Muslim laws and regulations if and when Jews came to interact with the members of the Umma, a commitment not to abuse the Prophet or to wield any authority over Muslims.

In this new setting, Jews find themselves immersed in a new cultural system, the Arab system. Unquestionably, at the early stages of Muslim rule, Jews suffered the cultural violence of having to give up refrain from using their own language in certain situations and to alter the way they conducted their lives.

But soon enough an amicable modus vivendi was struck as the most harmonic chord ever could be. Without ever relinquishing any of their rich cultural heritage, Spanish Jews found ways to weave together the most positive aspects of Arab culture together with their own and uhsered in a golden age of prosperity and creativity that was simply unparalleled in the history of the Jews. Those initial studies, in Babli, evidencing significant Arab influence, quickly spawned a trend throughout Europe, much beyond the boundaries of Sefarad, but then of course, the best gramar schools in sefarad, Cordoba, Lucena, Zaragoza, spearheaded it.

But Andalucian Jews did not settle for a mere adaptation of Arab ideology to shape and explain it. They actually absorbed it, making their own and enhancing every single Arab artform from poetry to narrative.

They adopted the entire Arab ars poetica: This new artform shared the scene with traditional biblical or secular formulas, and it gradually found its way into the synagogue. A new world was then born, in which the God of Jews and the Jewish religion at large would be honoured in the most beautiful prayer songs and hymns penned by mortals in styles derived from secular material of Arab origin.

It was extraodinary yet true that the Jews being a minority and the times offering little leeway never cast a shadow on a rich, happy and mutually beneficial coexistence of Jews and non-Jews.

Michael Servetus

When fanaticism caused socio-economic conditions to change for the worse, Andalucian Jews opted to move to other areas with acceptable living conditions in other Muslim kingdoms or to Christian kingdoms in the northern part of the Peninsula. There, the authorities would no longer view them as the People of the Book but as the murderers of Jesus, son of God. And yet, the religious opression was not so harsh there.

They obviously brought along that hybrid Jewish Arab cultura that had made them so unique in the realm of Judaism at large. Names of places abound to remind us of what world one existed in Sefarad. The Authors from Sefarad: The edition on display is an early edition that materialized in Venice in The edition comes with two examples of varying lengths lengths but both do justice to the genius and popularity of Ibn Gabirol.
