    R. Yehudah Halevi I: A Life in Lyrics

    Source sheet: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YJGHBKD90rKI6t7Yl_wgPudTdPUYcmpUpsPS4N7_v84/edit?usp=sharing Rabbi Yehudah Halevi is the fourth of the great Jewish poets from Muslim Spain (al-Andalus), who served as an inspiration for Jews across the centuries through his lyrics as well as by his life story. This pivotal writer left a legacy through his great book on Jewish thought, hundreds of poems, and by his personal example as a man who ventured out to the Land of Israel in his last stage of life. What drove this spiritual giant to turn his back on everyone and everything he loved in Muslim Spain to follow in the footsteps of the prophets? ***NOTE: This is the second version of the episode; the first version published, which was slightly shorter than 2 hours, is missing a piece beginning at 1:15 (1 hour 15 sec into the podcast) For more sheets and other info check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://sites.google.com/view/rishonim⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Do you want to send me some suggestions?

    Moshe ibn Ezra: Poetry, Piyyut, and Poetics

    Source sheet: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MjTs3eG4Y5FfE5AO7jnfMer8Bp4fhavyau7UzBHZSKE/edit?usp=sharing This episode introduces us to an often under-appreciated by exemplary figure of the Spanish Golden Age, who worked out a sophisticated synthesis of Arabic intellectual culture and Torah study. Why did Moshe ibn Ezra believe that Hebrew poetry would best be served by using Arabic literary conventions? In what way can Muslim writers help Jews appreciate and understand their own Torah? And is a "frum (religious) Jew" allowed to say that the Torah might not be the most beautiful book ever written?

    Shelomo ibn Gabirol II: Jewish Philosopher of Medieval Scholasticism

    Source sheet: ⁠https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lN-O34kPd8FSbtgsNGc8PhkOtgn5_B220OYA-Sk476M/edit?usp=sharing⁠ We grapple with the philosophy of the great poet Shelomo ibn Gabirol, whose identity as the author of Fountain of Life, a highly influential work for Medieval Christain scholasticism, was hidden under the name "Avicebron." In bringing this work back to its Jewish context, we puzzle over its metaphysics, connect it to ibn Gabirol's poems, and use this book and other philosophical writings of Shelomo ibn Gabirol to ponder his legacy as a key figure in Jewish thought and even kabbalah.

Rewinding a bit in history, we ask, where did all these Spanish poets come from? What's the deal with interrupting the prayers to sing rhyming songs?

    Shelomo ibn Gabirol I: Master of the Song

    Source Sheet:  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lN-O34kPd8FSbtgsNGc8PhkOtgn5_B220OYA-Sk476M/edit?usp=sharing Introducing the man who called himself "master of the song," the philosopher-poet Shelomo (Solomon) ibn Gabirol. By sampling from his poetry, we try to appreciate how he was indeed a master of both the poem and the piyyut, despite his exceptionally short and troubled life, and wonder about whether he belongs in the beit midrash as much as in the synagogue.

    R Nissim: Gaon of Africa

    Source Sheet:  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tqpV9_9uyDQiQBpKu5NAUCULz4j3JGbZL8MnC21e6Xg On this episode, we meet Rabbi Nissim of Kairouan. We discuss his works and personality at length, showing his incredible efforts at synthesizing all of rabbinic literature together for generations of students, and also how he sought to make Torah more reasonable in responding to anti-rabbinic critics. Broadening the lens to look at Rabbi Nissim’s historical context, we also try to answer the question: was this man a “Gaon,” a “Rishon,” or both?  For more source sheets and other info check out ⁠⁠https://sites.google.com/view/rishonim⁠⁠ Do you want to send me some suggestions?
