Sephardic Jews Explained: The Lost Jewish Civilization of Spain and Portugal

Описание: For centuries, Sephardic Jews lived and thrived in Spain and Portugal, building one of the most influential Jewish cultures in history. Their story includes great learning, poetry, science, and faith — but also persecution, exile, and survival across many lands.

In this video, we explain who the Sephardic Jews were, where they came from, and what happened after they were expelled from Spain and Portugal in the late 1400s.

This video is told in simple, clear language, making it easy to understand for everyone — even if you are new to Jewish history. It covers the golden age of Jewish life in Spain, the Spanish Inquisition, forced conversions, secret Jewish practices, and the spread of Sephardic culture around the world.
