In the year 711 Mohammed's fol- lowers crossed the Strait of Gibral- tar and overran Spain. In doing so, they released from persecution a whole Jewish community. Spanish "Simmered tutto-di-giorno ta'am!" Chef Boy-Ar-Dee uses a mixture of English, Italian and Jewish to tell you that his brand new sauce has "Simmered all-day flavor!" CHEF BOY-AR-DEE. MEATLESS SPAGHETTI SAUCE So rich in flavor, you'd think you'd cooked it all day.Who else but Chef Boy-Ar-Dee could create so much haimische ta'am in a meatless sauce—home grown tomatoes, onions and spices, enriched with the Italian touch of pure olive oil. Delicious with spaghetti, omelets, meat loaf. Jewry grew in numbers and in strength. Spain saw a Jewish cul- tural development so rich that the period became known as the Gold- en Age of Spain. One young poet who was a prod- uct of the Golden Age, a sensitive soul whose childhood was unhappy, and whose flowering was brief but brilliant, was Solomon ibn Gabirol. He was born in Malaga, Spain, in 1021, and was orphaned before he had reached his teens. He felt lonely and unwanted, and his rest- lessness found an outlet in wander- ing from city to city. By the time he was 16, he had already begun to express his inner- most feelings in tender, pessimistic poems. He felt at home with poet- ry, and he once wrote, "I am the master, and song is a slave to me." He was barely 20 when he wrote a Hebrew book of grammar con- sisting of 400 verses, in which he not only gave the rules of gram- mar but chided his people for neglecting the holy tongue. Solomon loved Hebrew, and that love makes his religious poems shimmer with beauty and. deep emotion. In one poem, he speaks of God as a pillar of strength in time of distress: In trembling and fear I have made Thee my tower; I look for no aid but Thy strength and Thy power. Some of his poems were so wide- ly known that they were included in prayer books and are still re- cited in synagogues throughout the world. Solomon ibn Gabirol's keen mind found another avenue of expression in philosophy. One of his works, "The Fountain of Life," had a strange history. Written in p 414 OTHER PRIZES Arabic, it explained the teachings of early Greek scholars. It was very popular and was translated into Spanish and later into Latin. For hundreds of years it was studied by Christian philosophers, who thought it had been written by someone called Avicebron. In the 19th Century, a man named Solomon Munk was work- ing in the National Library in Paris. He found part of the original Arabic of "The Fountain of Life." Comparing it with its Latin trans- lation, "Fons Vitae," he discovered that both were the same. It had taken 800 years to learn that ibn Gabirol was the real author. Solomon ibn Gabirol's sad and solitary life was brought to an early close. He died in 1058 at the age of 37. He had only had time to sing a few songs, but each was a gem that captured the heart of his people.
