According to legend, in 1492, 200,000 Jews marched from Spain, singing religious songs, led by their rabbis. They were called the Sephardim. They left at the orders of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, who's Edict of Expulsion gave Spanish Jews the choice of conversion to Christianity or exile. To commemorate the five-hundredth anniversary of the expulsion, Yale Strom represents a memorable, beautifully crafted portrait of the subsequent Jewish existence in the secluded exilic lands - their sorrows, their courage, and the awe-inspiring that have kept them religiously and culturally whole for half a millennium.
