My review of Sephardi Family Life in the Early Modern Diaspora. The title is an intimidating mouthful, but the voices of 16th century Sephardim, found in Inquisition records and rabbinical responsa (legal opinions and rulings), are fresh and alive.
“I thought that Jesus Christ was the same person as Moses, son of Queen Esther,” one woman told the Inquisition.
You don’t hear that everyday.
