צפיות: 0
The Jews of Amsterdam were an important and thriving Jewish community that flourished in the city from the 16th century, mainly due to waves of immigration of Spanish and Portuguese Jews fleeing the persecutions of the Catholic Inquisition in Spain and Portugal. Rabbi Berel Wein outlines the portrait of this great community, which included the philosopher Baruch Spinoza, who was excommunicated.
