Could it be that David Crockett was fighting against the Spanish Inquisition when he died at the Battle of the Alamo? Could the Texas Revolution have been a war against the long arm of the Inquisition? That may not be as strange as it sounds, considering the impact of the Inquisition in scattering the Jews of Spain to the New World and pursuing them to the furthest reaches of the Spanish Empire. Revis Daggett pulls that thread in this fourth part of our conversation about the Anusim (Hidden Jews) of the Americas.
The Spanish Inquisition took peace from the earth for many centuries. How do we cope with such terrors, both external and internal? There’s an answer in scripture, as Barry and David discuss in their midrash, “Return and Quiet.” We hear about that answer in the music of Solomon Lopez and Eved Adonai.
