Places to see in ( Castile La Mancha - Spain ) Toledo Synagogue of Santa María la Blanca
Santa María la Blanca (literally Saint Mary the White, originally known as the Ibn Shushan Synagogue, or commonly The Congregational Synagogue of Toledo') is a museum and former synagogue in Toledo, Spain. Erected in 1180, it is disputably considered the oldest synagogue building in Europe still standing. It is now owned and preserved by the Catholic Church.
Its stylistic and cultural classification is unique as it was constructed under the Christian Kingdom of Castile by Islamic architects for Jewish use. It is considered a symbol of the cooperation that existed among the three cultures that populated the Iberian Peninsula during the Middle Ages.
The synagogue is a Mudéjar construction, created by Moorish architects on Christian soil for non-Islamic purposes. But it can also be considered one of the finest example of Almohad architecture because of its construction elements and style. The plain white interior walls as well as the use of brick and of pillars instead of columns are characteristics of Almohad architecture.
The synagogue at Santa Maria la Blanca is located on the outskirts of Toledo situated between the Church of San Juan de los Reyes and the Synagogue of El Transito. Other well-preserved, pre-expulsion synagogues can be found in Híjar, Córdoba and Tomar.
Santa Maria la Blanca was a wholly unusual synagogue, in both plan and elevation. The floor plan of the synagogue is an irregular quadrilateral divided into five aisles, with the central nave aisle slightly larger than the remaining four. The space runs between 26 and 28 meters long and between 19 and 23 meters wide. The interior features a series of arcades supported on a network of twenty-four octagonal piers and eight engaged piers. These octagonal supports line the central aisle of the synagogue and support the large arcade of horseshoe arches above. The arches rest on intricately detailed capitals with finely carved pinecones and other vegetal imagery. These capitals are Mudéjar in style and are derived from classical, Corinthian antecedents as well as Byzantine concepts.

The Beautiful Cathedral of Toledo
La Catedral de Santa María de Toledo is famous for its beauty. Some say it is the most beautiful Cathedral in Europe. I think it lives up to the name. In any of your travels if you find yourself in Spain, the Cathedral alone can make the trip to Toledo worth your time.

CSRI takes Ward on pilgrimage across Spain
Maeve Ward ’21 wanted to do something exciting with her summer, and her research for the Cornell Summer Research Institute (CSRI) was exactly what she was hoping for.
Her studies led her to explore northern Spain for two weeks with Assistant Professor of Religion Chris Hoklotubbe. They explored portions of a 500-mile pilgrimage called the Camino De Santiago, known in English as The Way of St. James.
“This pilgrimage has meant a lot to a lot of people,” Ward said. “There’s a reason that so many people have gone on it throughout history. People have died to go on this pilgrimage. I think neglecting their story is doing them a huge disservice.”
The researchers walked about 10 miles a day of the pilgrimage that started in the ninth century. They explored cities and cathedrals along the way, eventually making it to the end, Santiago de Compostela, the cathedral where St. James is believed to have been buried along with his disciples.
Their trek along the pilgrimage surprisingly lead Ward’s research away from St. James, the patron saint of Spain, and toward Mary–the mother of Jesus.
“According to legend, when St. James, one of Jesus’ 12 disciples, made it to Spain, he received a revelation from St. Mary who encouraged him to keep preaching,” Hoklotubbe said. “If you didn’t know you were on the route of St. James, you would think you were on the route of Mary because Mary is most predominant in many of the cathedrals. So this became a point of surprise and interest to both me and the research of Maeve and sparked our interest in thinking of the representation of Mary along the pilgrimage.”
Ward, who majors in religion and classical studies at Cornell College, says the trip and her research topic has opened her eyes to new ideas that she had never considered before.

LA SINAGOGA, UNA CASA DE RECONCILIACIÓN
Hoy en día es un museo, pero hubo un tiempo en que Santa María La Blanca era la principal, la más importante, sinagoga para los judíos toledanos. Cinco siglos después, han vuelto a resonar en ella los típicos rezos y cantos de de la comunidad hebrea.
Se llama KOL NIDRÉ. Y es la primera de las oraciones que se reza en el Día del Perdón o de Yom Kippur. Esta es la festividad más importante para los judíos. Algunos historiados aseguran que el KOL NIDRÉ se escribió durante el reinado de Recaredo y que los autores fueron sefardíes toledanos. Tal es la importancia que incluso hasta este liturgia han venido desde Tierra Santa. Mijal nos cuenta que Toledo es como un pequeño Jerusalén. Toledo hoy en día sigue estando en sus vidas. De hecho muchos israelíes presumen de apellidarse toledano. Esta es una experiencia, que según los asistentes, bien merece la pena. Desde hace dos años la Fraternidad María Estrella de la Mañana organiza este tipo de acto religiosos, para que este templo se convierta en casa de reconciliación de las diferentes culturas.
