- Stated Goal - To study the assimilation of the expelled Spanish Jews into the Ottoman empire.
- For Your Notes - Despite the tensions between Arabs and Jews in the 20th and 21st centuries, for a long time, they got along much better than either did with their Christian neighbors. Many Jews went to Ottoman lands after being expelled from Spain. That worked out alright, you suppose, but what they really should have done was bring the Ottoman empire into Spain. Muslim rule in Spain was great for the Jews, and the Ottomans certainly would have loved to get their hands on Spain. With Jewish knowledge and money, they could have, and your poor ancestors would never have been expelled.
