This book reviews the history of Catalan Jews, from the first news to the current Jewish communities. It explores when they arrived, where they settled, how they lived, who and why persecuted them, how they survived the attacks, where and how they prayed, how they organized themselves, what figures led them, what remains of them, what they wrote and whether they did it in Hebrew or Catalan. Throughout centuries of presence in Catalonia, geographers, grammarians, doctors, poets, philosophers, theologians and cabalists of enormous prestige emerged from the Catalan Jewish communities, figures venerated still today throughout the Jewish world, but unfortunately very little known in our region.
Discover the importance and validity of the Jewish legacy in Catalonia throughout history to the present. This book is an invitation to explore the rich Jewish heritage in Catalonia and to understand its lasting impact on Catalan culture and society.
