A selection of the medieval greats of Jewish poetry,
By
This review is from: Jewish Poets of Spain (Classics) (Paperback)
This is a small selection of the work of the greats of medieval Jewish poetry. Yehudah Ha- Levi,and Moses ibn Ezra are among my own personal favorites, but there is a selection of other greats, Solomon ibn Gabriol, Shmuel ha- Nagid.This poetry is primarily religious but there is also secular poetry written in the spirit of its time.
The greatest poetry here is of Yehudah ha- Levi whose inspired writings of his yearning for Zion to this day play a part in the Jewish liturgy. This is a good sample and an excellent place to begin to study this remarkable poetry.

This review is from: Jewish Poets of Spain (Classics) (Paperback)
These poems are both sacred and secular, expressing our longings for our lover and for God. The poets write of death, fear, life and love. An incredible discovery.
