Abstract
The 500th anniversary of the expulsion of the Jews from Spain was marked on 31 March 1992 by a solemn ceremony in a Madrid synagogue at which the King of Spain welcomed Sephardic Jews back to their own country. This article examines the many benefits conferred on medieval Spain by its highly cultured Jewish population, the political background to the decree of expulsion and the gradual stages by which Sephardic Jews came to be welcomed back to their ancestral land, Sefarad.
