JOIN US, Sunday November 9th, 2025 for a discussion of the research behind the book

“From New Christians to New Jews: Seventeenth-Century Spanish Texts in Defense of Judaism” by Dr. Matthew Warshawsky, a past president of SCJS.

D. WarshawskyIn six essays, Dr. Warshawsky explores the issues of Jewish identity and survival during the Inquisition period shared by six different Iberian authors of the Diaspora, including arguments for open advocacy for Judaism to personal laments about justice and suffering. His is a rare insight into the thoughts and feelings of those who had to deal with the Expulsion, expressed through poems, sonnets and letters. His research supports the idea these contributions be considered among the best examples of trans-Atlantic literature.
