sociology 101

Sociology 101 By: Chris Reeh This article is about Spanish rabbi-poet named Judah Halevi. He lived in a society in which Jews were socially powerless. They were also influenced heavily by the dominant Islamic culture. He wrote many poems and books. His poetry brought a deeper sense of the Jewish spirituality to many people. This had been unheard of in previous generations. His famed Ode to Zion has been used for centuries in the religious studies. …

…real well. I learned a lot from this article. I did not know that the Jews had that many restrictions. I always thought they had a lot of power. If they did not want to believe what the Muslims wanted them to then that should have been their right. They also should have been able to build new synagogues if they saw the need to. Overall this was very intellectual for my sociology learning skills.
