The article “So, what did the Muslims do for the Jews?” by David J Wasserstein published in The Jewish Chronicle discusses the contributions of Muslims to Jewish culture and society. The author argues that the Islamic Golden Age (8th-13th centuries) was a period of great intellectual and cultural exchange between Jews and Muslims. During this time, Jews were able to flourish under Muslim rule, and many Jewish scholars made significant contributions to Islamic thought and culture. The article also highlights the role of Muslims in protecting Jews during the Holocaust.
