Richard Freund Quotations

We are helping to recover the Jewish history of Spain, ... After Israel, Jerusalem and Babylonia, this was the largest and most important Diaspora community. It existed nearly intact for about 1,500 years.

The rich Jewish culture of Spain permeates Judaism to this day, ... Their customs, language, traditions, food and art, as well as Sephardic Judaism, spread out through the Diaspora. The first American Jews were Sephardic. It is important to recover this history.
