Jewish Footprints in Córdoba - A Virtual Journey

Moisés Hassán-Amsélem

The city of Córdoba played a pivotal role in Jewish history during the Middle Ages. In the tenth century it became the seat of Jewish learning, scholarship and culture, gradually eclipsing the Babylonian academies of Sura and Pumbedita. This "virtual tour" focuses on all aspects of Judaism in the city. We will take you along an emotional journey which will allow you to share, understand and enjoy the uniqueness of Córdoba's Jewish past. We will walk through the alleyways of the Jewish quarter, in an attempt to understand what life was like for our ancestors, who lived in Spain until the Alhambra Decree of 1492, after which they were again forced into exile.
