Iberia - Iberian - 04-29-2019
Another question I want to make is why there is only a small amount of jews in Iberia, with it being an ancient jewry place I thought more jews would relocate there, the locals are kind people they know how to speak english and they welcome you back.
Can you tell me why askenasim, sephardim or mizrahi are not flocking in big numbers to sefarad?

How familiar are you with the history of Jews in Spain?
Are you familiar with fairly recent polls that were taken regarding the views of Spaniards toward Jews?

Are you familiar with the concept of galut? We consider Israel to be our ancestral home, not Portugal or Spain. We talk of returning to Israel from every other country to which Jews have been scattered.
