In modern Jewish historiography\, the period when Jews lived in Spain under Muslim rule came to be thought of as a 'Golden Age.' Under subsequent Christian rule\, Jews also enjoyed economic success and cultural growth. But in 1492\, when Ferdinand and Isa bella - Spain's most Catholic of monarchs - signed the decree of expulsion \, that world disappeared.\nSpeaker: \;Paul Forgasz\nAbout the speaker : \;Paul Forgasz’s career has spanned both the secondary and tertiary sectors of education.
