  1. The Golden Age
    Copyright 20015 Michael Gibbowr

    Liturgical and Secular Prose and Poetry
    Put to Pen in the Hebrew Tongue
    Was an Expression of Sephardic Jewry
    Intended for the Old and Young

    A means to Measure Intellectual and Spiritual Perception
    In their Golden Age of Spanish and Portuguese Enlightenment
    A Critical Concept of Communication
    For Celebration, Contemplation and Bereavement

    A means of Discourse Unique unto its self
    To Articulate all aspects of their Age
    Rendering with Clarity the Legacy of Sephardic Life
    From Commoner to Respected Sage

    Thus Poetry and Prose in the Sephardim’s Golden Age
    Proved Assimilation and Separation could be Contextually Gauged
    Words being a Work of Art within the Secular and Liturgical Code
    Were in their day Distinct; while remaining today a Treasure to Behold…

    As for the Literary Distinction
    Spanish and Portuguese Jewry Attained
    That would become a Trademark of The Sephardim
    To this very day acclaimed

    Judah HaLevi, Moses Monammidides, Solomon ibn Gabirol, and Emma Lazarus
    Were just a few of Spanish and Portuguese Jewry’s Distinguished Literary Greats
    Passing on a Pension for the Prolific Pen
    For All Sephardim to Contribute and Celebrate
