After all these years, Dr. Abramson, your lectures on Jewish history remain some of my favorite resources on the web. They’ve often been launch pads into new reading and even art projects. They’re a treasure I would recommend to anyone. : )
Thank you professor for your bright and well supported lectures. I'm a live example of how this ruptures can survive through generations. The same father who best raised me to be good catholic instilled in me a dearest love for the Jews because of our Jew ancestors. Only by being in this situation you can trully understand the heart ripping feeling of a divided heart.
Brilliant, succinct but thorough presentation.
Those were dark times. That's how we were, we mustn't forget.
Many thanks 👍🏽😘

TY
I am a Protestant Christian , I find your lectures stimulating, after 30 years of Bible study, ur lectures add so much more interest in the background of the Christian Bible, thx u
Many thanks Dr Abramson, for yet another edifying lecture. Keep well.
Really loved that lecture, Dr Abramson!
Is there any chance you could do a nice hour-long lecture/lengthy lecture on the history and customs of the Yemenite Jewry?
And talk about The Exile of Mawza and the Great Poet Shalem Shabazi?
That would be really interesting.
Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed the video! I hope to be speaking more about Yemenite Jewry in the following semester.
The Spanish Inquisition had a significant advantage.
Namely that nobody ever suspects them.
i also heard henry that when colombus was in his 1492 voyage he said in his diary that he saw a unexplained light going up and down following the santa maria,ive also heard that someone said that coloumbus said it looked like the seven candles of the menorah,but whatever the case may be the documentary said columbus was questioned by the inquisition on what he saw it just shows the hatred and the paranoia of the time he lived in during the inqusition scholars beleive since this light appeared near the bermuda triangle the say it may have been a UFO to me it seems even this topic on ufos has also affected history in some way
This was to be expected.
thanks henry abramson that inquisitor thomas de teiguemada i watched a film called the four blood moons ,made by a american pastor john hagee ,i heard in the movie they said thomas was a jew in his early life but converted to the catholic inquisition,i heard you mention henry about the torture instruments that where used by theinquisitors the movie showed it it was graphic ive heard coloumbus may have had jewish ancestry since his last name colon has a hebraic kohanic name, ive heard when hewent on his second voyage to the new world he saw a blood moon in september 1493,i also heard that when the jews where expelled in 1492 it occured on the 9th of av which is the anniversary of the temples destruction
The actual legal documents correct much misinformation about the Spanish Inquisition and can be examined in A great resource that show the actual records of the Spanish Inquisition is from Professor Lu Ann Homza in “Spanish Inquisition, 1478-1614: An Anthology of Sources

Interesting video. Thank you sir.
@Henry Abramson You're very welcome sir. God Bless you as well.
@Shah Dinar, thanks for the kind words, but that last comment was from an internet impersonator. Do not email that fake address, it isn't me and is likely malicious.
@@HenryAbramsonPhD Wow. Thanks for the heads up.
The inquisition started in Seville where there was more than 30 synagogues ( some of which were turned into churches) . The square called Plaza de Mayor was the place where the first six conversos where burned at stake in the first auto de fé in 1481 more then 10 years before the expulsion . I was there with my son we recited some tehilim there .
The Ritv”ah Rabenu Yom Tov Asville ( meaning from Seville ) was Rosh Yeshiva there until his petirah in 1320 , Talmid of the Rashba .
@Bhi fee that’s not completely historically true. The inquisition was a result of the pogroms of 1391 גזירות קנ״א. Which also started in Seville and spread from there to the rest of Christian Spain. The cause was since the New Christians as a result of the pogrom gained equal rights, and were accused being judaising in secret. The Jews as long as they were Jews with their own set of rights they were tolerated, but this created a big problem and competition, since these “ New Christians “ were gaining prominence even in very high offices . They had to be stopped hence the inquisition, with its headquarters in Seville with the heaviest population of backsliding New Christians and very sizeable Jewish community that can help them with their religious instruction.
@Bhi fee that was at the time of the Almohads some three centuries earlier.
Maimonides first fled to Fez . There he studied under Hakadosh R’ Yehudah Ha-kohen Ibn Susan , who was killed by the Almohads for refusing to except Islam . Maimonides fled in middle of the night to the Holy Land, after a brief visit in crusade county. There he was advised by local Jews not to hang around for the crusaders were known to take famous people hostage for ransom. The Rambam was already quite famous after his commentary in Arabic of the Mishna and his letter of apostasy.
So he went down to Egypt .
@Bhi fee Judaism was practiced in Spain before Christianity. It was the Visigoths fanatical adoption of Catholicism that colonised the Iberia . They were the ones that couldn’t tolerate any idea other than their own and the Spanish subjects adherent to the Mosaic faith were forcefully converted to Catholicism.
This was actually the forerunner for Spanish Jews to on the face convert but secretly keep their religion. It worked then for them as they breathed a sigh of relief when the Muslims invaded in 711 and they were able to practice their religion openly again. It worked for them again at the time of the Almohads. Some of them thought it might work again at the massacres of 1391( Although it’s not to compare the barbarity of this horrific time for Spanish Jews unprecedented in their history).
But here the church put their foot down and catholic law even when someone convert under duress. Although officially the Catholic Church frowns upon forced conversions , once the deed happened it’s binding.
Spanish Jews were no less Spaniards then their Christian neighbours. It was the church that made this rift and caused unimaginable suffering on a people clinging to an original idea . The holders of the oracles of truth, and the unbreakable covenant made at mount Sinai .
Until today more then 500 years later ,the survivors of the Spanish exile all over the world call themselves Sefardim Hebrew for Spanish .
The Spanish Inquision is NOT about pogroms, read the actual legal documents of the Spanish Inquisition in A great resource that show the actual records of the Spanish Inquisition is from Professor Lu Ann Homza in “Spanish Inquisition, 1478-1614: An Anthology of Sources

Would people who protected or tried to defend accused conversos also wind up condemned by the Inquisition?
Yes, such people were liable to be suspected of harboring Judaizing tendencies themselves.
@@HenryAbramsonPhD Sheesh. So even the bystanders who tried to protect conversos were considered suspect. Quite a control tactic I suppose.
Every one is killed
thank you for this extraordinary and explıcıte lecture
Well, I didn't expect th...
On second thought, let's not do that.
You know where the door is...
At the end, you said God willing.
Surprising that you would use some Germanic word to describe your almighty

They were black😂
🇮🇱
One of the absolute low points in the history of Christianity.
Certainly a sad period.
Indeed
El Tribunal del Santo Oficio de la Inquisición one of the glorirs of the Christian days.
The talmudic sect is not a religion.
The most terrible inquisition was the jewish sanedrin.
