I can readily understand lots of Ladino and I was aware of the Ladino speaking community in Turkey. Every now and then there’s a word tossed in from Hebrew which clearly isn’t Spanish. I became aware of that Jewish community in Turkey while watching the BBC’s Byzantium documentary series. There was a gentleman in the background and I thought “Am I hearing Spanish?” Turns out he was in the background for a reason as the documentary transitioned to him and he was speaking Ladino.

[@BC-ze4tp]

@betelgeuse68 wow, I want to watch that documentary! My grandpa can also understand spanish because of his Ladino. I think that Ladino in Turkey has also some Arabic influence, and probably Turkish influence of later stages too. But it mainly in old Spanish. Today the yough don't speak it anymore, since their grandpas and grandmas are more comfortable in turkish. It is sad, but it's also good because it shows greater integration in the society.

The Jews had been expelled several times before from many countries in Europe, like France and England for example, and in worse conditions (in Spain their money was not confiscated, but in France and England the kings got rich with the money stolen from the Jews they expelled). And after 1942 they were still expelled from other countries. The expulsion from Spain was, in any case, one of the softest. Also, it is very typical of nationalism to say that famous or important people have origins in their ethnicity.

[@x2y3a1j5]

In Medieval Europe, a Christian King allowing the presence of people from a different religion (specially the Jewish, aka "murderers of Jesus Christ") was extremely controversial, seen as an almost open treason to Christianity and the Church, opening the door to justify an invasion from other Christian kingdoms to "restore" things to normal. This is the basic substrate of the reasons of the expulsion. The second reason is that the Catholic Church had decreed that usury was a mortal sin, and that no Christian was allowed to practice usury. This affected immensely many Royal Treasures in many kingdoms, who could not borrow the money for wars. Here, a supply of Jews who, because of their different religion, could practice usury and lend money to the nobles was a very practical solution. Only that overspending and overborrowing led to some kings having extremely high debts to repay the Jews. Hence the English trick of expulsing the Jews in 1290 to not pay them back their loans, followed by similar expulsions in France and several other countries. Pressure was building AGAINST Spain, as a country with a very important Jewish population, present for centuries. Spain was an oddity of tolerance and diversity in a European ocean of religious intolerance and uniformity. Moreover, when the Moors invaded Spain in 711, many Jewish sided with the Muslim invaders against their Christian protectors, neighbors and friends. For example, the Jews opened the gates of Toledo, the capital of the Wisigoth kingdom, near Madrid, to the Muslim armies. Hence, it made perfect sense and it was 100% logical that, as the Reconquista Spanish Reunification War is coming to an end, and to prevent England and France and others from invading Spain, that the Spanish monarchy, keeping in mind that the Jews had been indeed treacherous, but at the same time holding on to their heightened sense of chivalry and honour, they offered the Jews the chance to stay (and keep their goods) IF, and only if, they converted to Christianity, with anybody refusing having to sell their goods and leave the country by a given date, two years later. No other Christian country had ever offered such a good deal of the possibility of staying and keeping everything, provided they obliged and changed religion, they all had expelled the Jews militarily. HALF the Jewish population chose to convert and stay, and the other half chose to go, so they were not really "expelled" per se but actually "self-deported".

Excellent report! I have studied the Dutch Republic which gets eternal credit in my mind for, in the context of the religious toleration the Dutch fought for against the very same Inquisition that persecuted the Jews, accepted the Sepharadim (aka "Portugese merchants") not as hidden Jews, but as Jews who possibly provided the key to Dutch preeminence during the Dutch golden age. (While the Dutch deserve most of the credit for their Golden Age, in a competitive world any edge can make the difference.) The formula for success of the Dutch was adopted by the British Empire, which received important religious and leadership support from the Dutch in the Glorious Revolution when the British imported the Dutch stadholder (hereditary aristocratic ruler) William III to be the king of England with his wife Mary, the daughter of the deposed king James II (the Duke of York, for whom the seized New Amsterdam was named by the English) thereby stopping any reversion to Catholicism and cementing the English as Protestant. Thus, the best of the galut for the Jews, the British Empire, owes much to the Dutch.

Yo me alegro de que el Flandes católico se independizase del calvinista, pues pudo seguir produciendo muy buen arte religioso, que la intolerancia holandesa (y judía) no permitían. Su mitificada tolerancia la veo más relacionada con un objetivo de conseguir mano de obra barata que con amor a la libertad. Se aprovecharon muy bien de no tener el Islam a las puertas, ya que el mundo católico les hacía de barrera de protección. Su sistema estaba tan centrado en la ganancia que hasta hacían guerras para poder comprar y vender esclavos. Otra cosa que descubrí es que en tiempos de Carlos II de España, algunos sefarditas holandeses se convirtieron en buenos espías de la Monarquía española. Me alegro. Porque justo es en esa época cuando crecen esas grandes ciudades americanas hispanas, que jamás ingleses y holandeses lograron crear. Algunas de ellas son hoy Patrimonio de la Humanidad.

Thanks for a well-done summary. I have been blessed to visit both Spain and Israel several times. I have documented my Spanish ancestry. My Jewish ancestry is much more challenging to document. Crypto Jews in Puerto Rico had to be super carefully undercover since they were both illegal immigrants, and potential victims of the cruel and sadistically vicious torturing and murderous inquisition. As for me, I would much rather have an additional Israeli passport than a Spanish or Portuguese passport.

There was possibly some collaboration in self-defense (the kings before the conquest were kidnapping children and forcibly converting them.) Nobles whose daughters were attacked and the significant population of abused slaves also sided with Islam. The Jews were treated badly under Islam but not as badly as under the pagan Rome. (It is thought by at least some historians the Jewish collaboration in the conquest never even happened and was a rumor spread by Muslims to divide the conquered population.) The lack of Roman (unChristian) oppression led to the flowering of Jewish culture and scholars such as Nachmanides, Maimonides and others are from this time.

They were, and are, rabbinic Jews, pharisees, they were accused of sacrificing Christian children all over Europe and they were saying heresies of our Lord and King Jesus Christ, they also plotted several times with Muslims to take over Europe and succeeded on betraying some places and leaders in Spain at least, that's why they were expelled, nothing to do with antisemitism, it was their own faults, crimes, and sins, that made them be prosecuted, because they were plotting and lying and saying all sort of nasty and horrible things about Jesus Christ the true king of the Jews and gentiles. Catholicism is the true Judaism, because the messiah already came and changed the world and completed scriptures and the 10 commandments, which were not complete. We're not waiting for Him to come for the first time, and the second coming nobody will ever know when it is, like Jesus said, so we don't wait like that person lied, we are part of the body of Christ in mass and inside the Catholic Church.

They were given notice a few times before the expulsión and people was really fed up with them. In any case they were not expulsed.

[@x2y3a1j5]

Nope. Sharing the same family name does not necessarily mean you're also Jewish descended. Besides, it works like this: many Conversos simply took on the Christian family names of important people, in the hope those important people would provide protection and moral support if the sh!t hit the fan someday. They all dropped their BenDavids to become López, etc. There are relatively few "typical" or exclusive Converso family names, and over generations it's just normal that crypto-Jewish traditions are slowly replaced by more mainstream Catholic traditions.
