To answer this question, we need to                 have a firm understanding of their historical                 experience…. We need to be aware of the dark, unpleasant                 elements in their environments; but we also need to see the                 spiritual, cultural light in their dwellings that imbued their                 lives with meaning and honor.”\u003cbr\u003e            —from Chapter 1, “The Inner Life of the Sephardim”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e            \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this groundbreaking work, Rabbi Marc                 Angel explores the teachings, values, attitudes, and cultural                 patterns that characterized Judeo-Spanish life over the                 generations and how the Sephardim maintained a strong sense of                 pride and dignity, even when they lived in difficult political,                 economic, and social conditions. Along with presenting the                 historical framework and folklore of Jewish life in the Ottoman                 Empire, Rabbi Angel focuses on what you can learn from the                 Sephardic sages and from their folk wisdom that can help you                 live a stronger, deeper spiritual life. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turner Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47137960067312,"sku":"9781580235167","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781580235167_p0.jpg?v=1763801351","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781580235167","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
