After the massacre of 30 December 1066, the survivors are driven out of the city; the community will not be rebuilt until after the Almoravid conquest

The massacre of the Jewish quarter of Granada, at the end of the previous year, had claimed the life of the vizier Joseph ibn Naghrela, son of Samuel ha-Naguid, and the community that lived under his protection. What remained of it was driven from the city.

Granada was the most remarkable place in Jewish Spain: Samuel ha-Naguid had there combined the office of vizier to the Zirid king, the command of his armies, and the leadership of the community, and there he wrote a Hebrew poetry that Andalusia had not known before. His son inherited the position without the prestige, and the pamphlet of Abou Ishaq of Elvire, which called for an end to the Jews installed in government, circulated shortly before the riot.

The community only reconstituted itself after the Almoravid conquest, and without recovering its former rank. The episode remains the clearest demonstration of what too visible a political rise could cost, in the lands of Islam.
