49. Early Jewish Settlement in Spain (Jewish History Lab) 

This is so interesting. I am an Iberian Jew. I have a mixture of Celtic Spanish African and Jewish markers in my heritage.

Shalom alecheim 😊 Dr. Abramson. Thank you! I always appreciate your history lectures. Also, thanks for the reading recommendations!

Always fantastic...thanks Prof.

Would you be able to give a lecture on the sources of Jewish migration to Iberia in later periods - particularly during the Islamic period? That would be fascinating!

Thank you for this outstanding lecture

I've often heard that the place called Tarshish may have been the Iberian peninsula or a part of it.

Excellent thanks

Jews are always welcomed in my world. I'm Spanish descendant, via Central America and the US.

Thanks for this! It's good to learn more about where my grandmother's Jewish ancestors came from. My grandmother was 'Catholic' but taught me to say Kaddish which I have memorized to this day.

Awesome

Oh my goodness I really really love all your videos you are amazing. I just have to say that I think when we talk about our own history sometimes we put a like a blurry spot on other people like when we talk about the Holocaust A lot of times we will exclude the other people that were murdered and then people look badly upon us for that and it also skews the story to be so exclusively Jewish as far as the victimhood is concerned and the same thing happens with the Inquisition and the expulsion the Spanish explosion of the Jews was also the Spanish explosion of the muscles and it was brought upon by the loss of the foothold that the Muslims had in southern hiberia. I think that's a very good point to make and I shouldn't be kind of skipped over hopefully you bring it up later I'm only in the beginning of this video

Would it be possible to give lectures, about the history of Ashkenazi Jews

Dr Henry, someone told me that members of “the house of David” ended up in what we call Spain today. Is there historical evidence for that statement?

Uau, great that you address this issue!

How interesting to know or think that Spain (Hispanic)have Jew Arab bloodlines..I am from Jalisco ..from catholic cristian family ..

The works of Moses Maimonides, Guide for the Perplexed is my favorite works from this era.

as a person can sleep here, in this location, and see a dream that takes place in a place as distant as Spain [beAspamya].

Maimonides refers to Spain as Sfarad

I am an evangelical Christian...love your channel

Amazing....
