It is not Muslims that make them leave Spain, but Christians, following massacre, molestation and persecution. For your information, most Sephardim left Spain for either Morocco or Turkey or Greece (which was Ottoman at the time).<br />I personally consider that Maimonides is a part of our heritage we should be proud of, while Western countries should be ashamed of what they did with Jews for centuries. It is simply because Islamic was far more tolerant, a fact that some people try to ignore.Sakrqurayshnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-69407424424633192222010-03-12T14:57:43.143+02:002010-03-12T14:57:43.143+02:00Dear Zenobia, the Israeli ambassador represents th...Dear Zenobia, the Israeli ambassador represents the Jewish State and it is therefore fitting that he be present at such an event... as for the Rabbis, they belong to the Chabad current which holds Maimonides in high regard.
