Thu 23 Oct, 7-9 pm. In 1492, with the stroke of a pen, fifteen hundred years of Jewish life in Spain came to an abrupt end. In a Medival example of ethnic cleansing, the Jews of Spain were given a choice: expulsion or conversion. Half the community left, half converted. Many of the converted, known as Conversos, continued to practive Judaism in secret establishing a way of life that has survived to the present day. Vilna Shul, 18 Phillips Street, Boston, 02114.
