Sinopsis

The book encovers a forgotten chapter of the medieval Egypt where boundaries between Judaism and Islam were not walls, but permeable membranes. Focusing on the Egyptian Jewish Pietist led by the descendants of Moses Maimonides, this book explores a radical spiritual experiment: devout Jews who adopted Islamic Sufis practices, such as prostration, ablution, and solitary retreat, to revive their own faith. Through an analysis of 'Abd Allah ibn Maymun's The Treatise of the Pool, the author challenges modern narratives of eternal conflict, revealing a vibrant frontier of cultural exchance where profound spiritual renewal blossomed at the intersecting edges of two great traditions.
