Prof. David J. Wasserstein has stated in a recent article that one can with all certainty say that the Jews of Visigothic Spain did not have a Jewish culture and had no knowledge of Hebrew. Concerning the Jews in Muslim Spain, he believes that they woud have simultaneously learnt two languages, Hebrew and Arabic. As a result, still according to Wasserstein, the learning of Hebrew would have been a problem, since the Jews of the Visigothic period did not know Hebrew and in Muslim Spain no relevant Jewish emigration took place. The present study reviews Prof. Wasserstein's opinions and attempt at showing that his arguments can not be supported by the evidence.
