The Tránsito Synagogue

Target Character, our treasurer and closest confidant among the aljama, wishes to raise a new synagogue in the Jewish quarter at the heart of Toledo, its walls to be carved with the psalms of David beside the heraldic arms of Country, its ceilings gilded in a style he/she swears will rival anything the cathedral chapter has commissioned in a generation. It would stand as one of the finest houses of worship ever built by Jewish hands on our soil, a monument to his/her own rise as much as to his/her faith, and a very public sign, for those who care to read it, of just how far his/her counsel has carried him/her at our Court Title.

    historical_info = d009_convivencia.2.historical_info The Synagogue of El Tránsito in Toledo was built around 1356 by Samuel ha-Levi Abulafia, treasurer to King Pedro I of Castile, and remains one of the finest surviving examples of Mudéjar synagogue architecture, its walls carved with Hebrew psalms alongside the royal arms of Castile. Ha-Levi's spectacular rise at court ended badly, he was later arrested and died under torture on the king's orders, accused of embezzlement, a reminder of how precarious even the most trusted Jewish courtiers' positions could be.
