Wilmington (Arsht Hall) | September 2, 2025-December 2, 2025
Tuesday: 9:00 AM-10:15 AM
Embark on a journey through an amazing modern-day historical phenomenon — the awakening of the Converso, direct descendants of the Jews of the brutal Spanish Inquisition (1480-1850). Also called Crypto-Jews, Anusim, Marranos, or Chuetas, Converso are Jews faced with expulsion, torture and/or death, converted to Roman Catholicism in Spain and or Portugal in the 14th and 15th centuries. Today they are rediscovering their “lost” Jewish heritage.
This offering meets for a total of 13 session(s).
