Description
All the legal cultures we discussed in this season come together in Christian Spain in the 14th Century. Rabbi Asher ben Yehiel (the Rosh) is one of the rabbis leading the integration of the legal culture of Muslim Spain, with the interpretative work of France and the rabbinic authority that was standard in Germany. This episode traces the Rosh’s immigration to Spain and highlights the period until the Spanish Inquisition. We end this season on the precipice of even broader geographic dispersion and as moveable type is about to revolutionize rabbinic and Jewish culture.Hosted by: Rabbi Mordecai Marcus SchwartzProduced by Ellie GettingerEdited by Sarah BrownCover art: Lee WilletTheme music: Stock media provided by u19_studios / Pond5
