(note: the first few minutes of the audio are silent).
Dr. Seth Ward discusses the riots of 1391, the establishment of the
Spanish Inquisition, the expulsion of 1492, and the legacies and impacts of
these events down to our modern times, including contemporary persons of Hispanic
heritage enthusiastic about identifying with Judaism in ways unthinkable until
very recent times. This lecture continues in part the Spanish Inquisition
Remembrance Ceremony (SIRC), which is on pause this year. This lecture is held
at this time to mark the anti-Jewish riots of 1391 (קנ"א) starting in
Tammuz and especially the and Spanish Edict
Expulsion, which took effect July 31, 1492, which corresponded with the 7th
of Av, 5252 (רנ"ב).
