What was daily life like for the Jews during their almost fifteen-hundred-year sojourn in the Iberian Peninsula?

It will conclude with a discussion on the early years of the Sephardic diaspora, touching on themes of communal crisis, demographic shifts, and cultural transformation. Teacher is Dr. Benjamin Gampel, the Dina and Eli Field Family Chair in Jewish History at Jewish Theological Seminary,

Photos Below: : The painting is from the Esnoga - the Portuguese Synagogue of Amsterdam in 1680. The picture of the smaller synagogue is the attached winter synagogue/school of the community and my family's name appears on the plaques on the wall several times, dating back as far as 1676, one year after the synagogue was built. Part of my family was kicked out of Spain in 1497 and then again from Portugal in 1497 before heading to the Netherlands.
