This history make me very sad, it was a wonderful time where Muslims and Jews were friends and worked together, I hope I can see this partnership again and that glorious time comes stronger than it was.

Before 1085, already Afonso Henriques - first Portugal King and nephew of Baldwin I of Jerusalem, known in arabic literature as Ibn Arrik - and Ibn Qasi - Muslim King of the Xelb, in Al-Garbh, known today as the portuguese region of Algarve - had an agreement about the formation of a new kingdom. The Reconquista sounds a mix between romantic cavalry and epic political times, when we look into the numbers of the belligerent armies described by local writers and we found Christian and Muslim army divisions on each side fighting each other. Yes indeed, as Professor Benjamim well states, Sephardic Jews had an important role in the area, not only among their own society, as well with diplomatic cross over roles, which is well stated in Portugal monarchy records and it maritime expansion.

Well according to Wikipedia Poland has been the epicenter of the Jews for over a thousand years and that is where three-quarters of the world's Jews reside at or resided until the 18 to mid 19th century according to their history sephardic they would have migrated from 1492 all the way over to Poland through Roman territory the Byzantine(Western) and Eastern Roman Empire which I don't see how that would be possible being that they were beginning to be kicked out of all these countries there are sources that say North Africa was where many of them we're going back to and being sent to the Isle of Sao Tome which would put them in a direct path the 1452 papal bull stating convert and Conquer sarceans and Pagans as well as the doctrine of Discovery 1493 in which these edicts had turned their full attention to Africa and the Americas with ferocity and remember North Africa is where the Moors came up from into Spain and supposedly where the Jews were trying to go to why would that be if these were European Jews and if they were Arabs why didn't they go attack the Persian areas why didn't the so-called Jews go back to Israel or over to Poland maybe it is because Rome was still occupying Israel and the Crusades with the Muslims what's going on and the Polish Jews had not left that area of Poland as much as the numbers will want people to think I have read sources from Wikipedia saying that some Jews left Poland and joined 2 Spanish Jews and reported back 2 Khazarian officials.... but a lot of this is just from me reading stuff🧐🤓

I have no information, all I know is that I moved to Andalucía, bought a house in a village, which apparently was a Moorish fortress, and years later I take a dna origin test and (doing) turn out to be mostly Sephardic jewish, then Arabic. My house is even right where the jews would have lived. I flew home without having a clue 🙂
