Thanks. I’m suspecting there may have been a hiatus during that period though. Heh heh heh...

Actually, IIRC, the Ottomans Turks, took in many of the Spanish Jews chased out of Spain by the Christians. That pretty much ended in 1492, when the Christian forces kicked last of the Muslims, who had been protecting the Dhmini Jews, and then kicked out the Jews, giving them just enough time to sell their possessions at below rock bottom prices.

You've heard of the Sephardim? They are the Jews from Spain.

Thanks for the inside on that. There’s so much history that it’s tough to keep up. This is the second topic in the last few days that I’ve been underinformed on. You did help. I appreciate it.
