#172: Ramban II - The Church & Eretz Yisrael (feat. Rabbi Dr Akiva Tatz)
In 1263 the Ramban was forced to attend a public Disputation and defend the truths of the Talmud against attacks by the Dominicans, who were led by an apostate Jew.
The Ramban would be exiled from Spain as a result and settle in Eretz Yisrael where he described with both pride and pain of the state of the Jewish community.
Using his medical knowledge, the Ramban also authored a central halachic work on healing and consulting doctors for refuah.
