In this episode we look at what level of Jewish education Spinoza got to. Did Spinoza get to the level of understanding how to read and analyze Shas? Did he have any contact with Rabbi Menashe ben Israel? We also take a look at Rabbi Menashe ben Israel’s major accomplishments. What can we learn about the general cultural milieu from Rabbi Menashe ben Israel’s significant dialogues with non Jewish society?
