Iberian Jewish Heritage in Europe

The Iberian Jewish heritage in Europe is a tale of resilience and cultural exchange. After the expulsion of Jews from Spain and Portugal in the 15th century, many found refuge in other parts of Europe, including the Netherlands, Turkey, and France.

This migration led to the spread of Iberian Jewish traditions, including Sephardic language and customs, influencing European culture in profound ways.

Scholars today explore the lasting impact of this heritage through art, architecture, and language. Many Iberian Jewish communities still exist in Europe, preserving ancient traditions passed down through generations.
