Step into the Lost Jewish World of Catalunya!

Join me on a fascinating and meaningful virtual journey through the heart of Jewish Catalunya — from the ancient stones of Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter to the narrow alleys of Girona and the rare medieval mikvah in Besalú.

For over a thousand years, Jews lived, learned, and sometimes thrived in this region — under Roman rule, Muslim governance, and Christian monarchs.

On this tour, you’ll hear the stories of brilliant rabbis, philosophers, doctors, and leaders who shaped Jewish thought and influenced Catalonia’s history.

We’ll explore everyday life in the Jewish quarters, the complex relationship with local rulers, and the vibrant internal debates that filled synagogues and study halls.

But this is also a story of loss. We’ll uncover how these communities were shattered — and why Catalonian Jews can not be named Sephardic.

And of course we’ll bring it into the present, looking at how Jewish life continues in modern-day Barcelona.
