Summary
What âs most amazing is that God preserved and has hidden Sephardic Jews for the last three thousand years. Our forefathers came close to being annihilated many times since the days of King David. Before the common era, they escaped Babylon's plunder and after the common era, they escaped Rome's rage'. But the worst came with what I call the "slow holocausts'" of the Spanish, the Portuguese and the Mexican Inquisitions. Time and again, our people have arisen above all types of prejudice and racism many of which have been masked maneuvers of anti-Semitism.
There is no question in my mind that the first waves of Jewish migration to Spain were during [David Ben Gurion] and [Solomon]'s time.

Subsequent waves of migration to Spain were during those periods of exile I've referred to above, namely, the Babylonian and later the Roman exiles. It was at these specific times when multitudes of Jews escaped the sword of these empires and fled to Sepharad.These Jews specifically fled to Spain because their forefathers had co-founded Spain along with their cousins, the Phoenicians. They chose Spain because there was a strong Sephardic Jewish presence there and because there was a wondrous spirit of a future glory that captivated their hearts. Above all, they chose Spain because God had chosen Spain for them. God sheltered and prospered them there and also prepared them for the time they would flee across the Atlantic to be hid from their perpetrators which we'll discuss in later columns.See the full content of this document
