Coplas

Coplas are a unique Jewish genre that developed after the expulsion from Spain, flourishing mainly in the 18th century. Written my men, this genre deals with social and historical and traditional topics from biblical sources, therefor the abundance of Hebrew words. Coplas have complex literary structures, sometimes including acrostics, rhymes, and repeated choruses. Coplas were printed in booklets dedicated to holidays or other themes.
