Abstract:
"Sephardic Jews are the Jews who lived in Spain historically and later in the Spanish Diaspora following the Expulsion of 1492. This covers the rich cultural history of Jews in Spain, the religious and cultural life, the communities that developed in the Diaspora from the Ottoman Empire to Morocco and the Americas. Attention is given to the Jews who converted to Christianity and lived as crypto-Jews"--
