Monograph: Calatayud, City and Mother in Israel in the Middle Ages

Monograph – Calatayud, City and Mother in Israel in the Middle Ages Extended Description: This special monographic episode takes us deep into the heart of medieval Calatayud, described by the great sage Rashbatz as a “City and Mother in Israel.” We uncover the spiritual grandeur of the Bilbilitan Jewish community, one of the most prominent and respected aljamas of Sepharad. Through the testimony of responsa, chronicles, and voices that have reached us across the centuries, we will understand why Calatayud was considered a beacon of Jewish life: a place of scholars, rabbis, doctors, merchants, and families who left an indelible mark on Sephardic history. Narrated in a unique style, this episode is both a tribute and an act of remembrance: to honor those who lived, studied, and prayed in Calatayud, and to reconnect us today with their memory and legacy. Narrated by Rabbi Yehuda ben Shlomo Albilbili. Direction and Production: Javier Bona. Hashtags: #Calatayud #Sefarad #JewishHeritage #SephardicHistory #SpainHistory #iVoox #VoicesOfSefarad
