Didactic Center of the Jewish Quarter

Today, after finishing our final exam, we visited the Didactic Center in the Jewish Quarter of Segovia. It is located in what was once the house of the most important Jew in 15th Century Spain, Rabbi Abraham  Seneor.  He was close to the monarchy and was dubbed "El Rab" which meant that he was a liaison between the Hebrew community and the monarchs. When he was elderly, he was baptized during the rule of Isabel and Ferdinand. He was very wealthy and had one of the biggest houses in the Jewish section of Segovia. The Center consists of 3 rooms that provide information on the Sephardic culture and give viewers an idea of what this neighborhood was like in the Middle Ages. In the gift shop, they sell, among other things, replicas of the keys that had belonged to Jews who were expelled from their homes after Isabel and Ferdinand decreed the expulsion of Jews from Spain.
