Eps 1. Doña Gracia, Part 2: Her Reach and Legacy

In part 2, Miriam Wielgus and I continue our discussion about the exceptional Doña Gracia Mendes Nasí. We discover the extent of Doña Gracia’s power in every sphere of influence during the era, and the way she used her vast wealth to improve the welfare of her Jewish brothers and sisters in multiple countries. We also get a peek into an intriguing legal and halachic conflict between Doña Gracia and her own sister, which is referenced in our sources several times, and still studied today. 📰 Find more great Mishpacha content here: Website - www.mishpacha.com Twitter - https://twitter.com/themishpacha Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/familytable_mishpacha Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/mishpachamagazine 📰 About Us: Mishpacha was founded in 1987 on a dream. Aiming to facilitate the exchange of ideas and values between the varying streams within the Orthodox Jewish world, among them the Hassidic, Yeshivish, Sephardic, and Modern Orthodox communities, publisher Eli Paley and editor Rabbi Moshe Grylak launched a phenomenon: Mishpacha magazine. The brand’s first English edition, published in 2004 due to popular request, took the Jewish communities of North America, Europe, South Africa and Australia by storm with world-class journalism, fiction, and op-eds that set the agenda from Shabbos tables to board rooms. Everyone wanted to be a part of the conversation. Mishpacha’s reach further expanded in 2006 with Family First, a full-color weekly magazine connecting tens of thousands of Jewish women and girls around the world. Today some 250,000+ readers on every continent across the globe make Mishpacha magazines a part of their lives. The conversation continues. 📰 Channel tags - #Misphacha #Jewish #Magazine
