from Proclaiming Justice · host Laurie Cardoza Moore
Full Interview with Rabbi Nathan Lopes Cardozo from the FOI Episode "Lost Jews of the Inquisition" --European history tells us that tens of thousands of Jews were forcibly expelled from Portugal in December of 1496 when Portugal’s King decreed that all Jews must leave the country. The King wished to completely and forever eradicate Judaism from Portugal by issuing two conflicting decrees. The initial edict of expulsion of 1496 later became an edict of forced conversion. In 1497, Portuguese Jews were prevented from leaving the country and were forcibly baptized and converted to Christianity. Thousands of these “new Christians”, known as “conversos”, were massacred amid the bloodshed and constant cruel hand of the Inquisition.Today's guest on the "Proclaiming Justice" podcast...Nathan Lopes Cardozo (born 1946) is a Dutch-born Israeli rabbi and Jewish philosopher, founder of the David Cardozo Academy in Jerusalem. Born in Amsterdam, his father was a secular Jew who was proud of his Portuguese Jewish origin. Today, Rabbi Cardozo explains the origins of the Sephardic Jews of Spain and Portugal who were forced to flee or convert to Catholicism at the risk of death during the Inquisition edict in the 1400's.Don’t forget to subscribe, rate, and share to help us equip more Christians to stand with Israel and fight antisemitism.✨ Stay connected with PJTN! ✨🌐 Website: www.pjtn.org📺 YouTube: YouTube.com/PJTNTV🎙️ Subscribe to the Proclaiming Justice Podcast on:Apple PodcastsSpotifyYouTubeSalem's One PlaceOr wherever you get your podcasts.
