🗓️ Before 1492, Spain may have been home to 300,000 Jews. Today? Fewer than 15,000. diasporaexpeditions co-founder Adam Heffez was recently in Seville tracing Jewish life from before the Spanish Inquisition. A 14th century Jewish sarcophagus hidden inside a parking garage. A restaurant called “Casa Mikva” with an ancient mikvah below the dining room. Original synagogue walls still standing in a current church and once mosque. The outer wall of the former Jewish quarter. History is not gone. It’s just buried in plain sight. This year, we are heading to the Spanish exclaves of Ceuta and Melilla in North Africa, places where the local Jews were largely protected from the Inquisition.
