We welcome Shabbat and our Scholar in Residence who will discuss

Jews and Christians in Medieval Spain: Symbiotic Society or Parallel Societies?

A great Spanish historian once described the amalgam of Jews, Muslims and Christians in medieval Spain as a convivencia – living together, creating the soul of the Land. Rabbi/Dr. Gal Berner will explore whether this description was accurate – or was it something else.

We meet in our physical sanctuary and as always you can join us on Zoom.

This service is sponsored by Sheridan Gold and Dianna Grayer in celebration of their 45th anniversary.

Rabbi Dr. Leila Gal Berner is a scholar of medieval Jewish history. She is an ordinee of the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College and was also given smicha by Reb Zalman. She is a teacher of Reb Irwin’s and is the author of the Miriam Hanaviah verse that we sing with Eliyahu Hanavi, as well as the new book, Listening to the Heart of Genesis: A Contemplative Path.
