Yehudah Ha-Levi: Poet Philosopher of Sepharad

2 thoughts on “Yehudah Ha-Levi: Poet Philosopher of Sepharad”

  1. Yehuda Ha-Levi was and is a well- known poet. He is one of the greatest poets ever- in both religious and secular studies. He is famous for writing the Kuzari. Something that I really like about Yehuda Ha- Levi was that his secular poems were about friendship and eulogy. I think friendship is a very important subject to focus on and to write about. It shows that Yehuda Ha- Levi understood the importance of friendship and felt the need to spread it as a topic. I really appreciate this about him.
