Loved reading about Leigh’s cultural background & upbringing. It felt like I was reading about my own cultural upbringing - so many similarities to the Iranian culture. We also have elaborate henna parties before weddings. My generation also grew up with the trauma of our ancestors living as Jews in a predominantly Muslim country. Thank you for this Shabbat drop, one of my favorites!
Thank you so much. I loved the article particularly because my Jewish roots are in Spain. I joke in my renaissance course that when Columbus left on his voyage of discovery, he had to sail around the ships of all the Jews who had been expelled from Spain by Issy and Ferdinand!
you write and we learn. thank you
