I remember visiting Beit ha Tefutsoth, the Diaspora Museum at Tel Aviv University, and they had a great animated multimedia presentation about Binyamin of Tudela's journeys that really made an impression on me during my first visit to Israel as a 13-year-old bar mitzvah boy. It was still there circa 1988-89, when I visisited the museum again as an 18-year-old, and in 2000 when I went as a 30-year-old. But although I have been back to Israel many times, 2000 was the last time I visited the museum. I wonder if it's still there.
What do you make of Benjamin of Tudela's description of the exilarch's interaction with the caliph? PS hope that your cruise will come to Malta (my country) :)
You are marvellous. Have been watching this channel this awful year 2024. I have tried several times to buy or donate and it defies me how it is done. I put in my donation of $36 and I find no way to continue this purchase. Help!!
In one of your videos about Jewish life in Portugal, I've asked about Jewish presence in Minho/ Braga in northern Portugal. I'm from Braga but never found any evidence of Jewish history in my area. Do you know anything about Judaism in northern Portugal outside Porto and the Douro valley?
Another awesome video. Wishing you a Happy Hanukkah 🕎 Dr. Abramson
Another great video Dr. Abramson!

As I've said before, trade routes, commodities, and communities are my interest.
you just helped me solve part of the Pamplona mystery (le France/España).
Now I'm wondering...

Where could You find the travel report of Tudela as a book?

I would very much appreciate an episode of the Jewish Radhanites. There are very few references about them. Thanks
