Well, here's another source:

"Several months after the fall of Granada an Edict of Expulsion was issued against the Jews of Spain by Ferdinand and Isabella (March 31, 1492). It ordered all Jews of whatever age to leave the kingdom by the last day of July (Tisha B'Av), but permitted them to remove their property provided it was not in gold, silver, or money."

I'm sick of it. Just sick of it. The fact that some historical event may have been bad, or even very bad, is in no wise a license to exaggerate without limit.

Well, what if it was in LAND, smart guy?

Let's try this again.

permitted them to remove their property provided it was not in gold, silver, or money

OK, couldn't take any LAND, for obvious reasons. Couldn't sell their land and take the money or its value in gold & silver.

So what kind of property, other than the clothes on their backs, were they allowed to take with them, Defender of the Faith?
