Table 1: Pre-Inquisition Spain and Spanish Born Hahamim (and related titles)
This first table looks back to the Iberian peninsula and those writer's, many of them rabbis who were born there. The Jewish experience of Spain is often referred to as the Golden Age of Spain, a lengthy period of time which started to decline with the increased Catholic takeover of the peninsula and coming to a close with the edict of expulsion in 1492. This Golden Age has been contested by a number of Catholic apologists and non-Sephardic Jews whose ideas have unfortunately seeped into our communities.
There were different schools of thought in Medieval Spain, including a school of thought introduced by the Franco-German rabbis and their students including Nachmanides and the ROSH. Eye witness accounts to the events in Spain claim that this school of thought undermined the Jewish community, especially with the use of PILPUL, which triggered division, a decline in scholarship, the use of practises forbidden by the Talmud and the beginning of the Converso phenomenon. This is documented in Jose Faur's book 'In the Shadow of History: Jews and Conversos at the Dawn of Modernity'. The following quote, describing the situation in Spain is from his book 'The Horizontal Society':
"You should know, that we are (children) of those who had been banished from Catalonia, and we conduct ourselves in accordance (with the norms) followed by our ancestors, we continue these practices in the places that, because of our sins, we have been driven... And although the legal decisions [of their rabbis] are not commonly known, nonetheless, it would be improper to question the norms of their communities. Even though a particular custom may not be registered on any book we must assume that the norm had been established in accordance with the great [rabbis]."
-- R. Abraham ibn Tawwah, Hut ha-Mshullash, III, #10, in Sefer ha-Tashbess, part IV, 3.

Table 1.1 Italy
Italy is sometimes a difficult community to define, being home to it's own Romanite community, Sephardi community, Ashkenazi and Eastern, it's often hard to place Italian Jews into one category. Hopefully this section will resolve this.

Table 2: Conversos
The Spanish Inquisition wreaked havoc on the Jewish communities of the Iberian peninsula starting in 1492. There is a growing trend today to deny the heritage of people descended from Iberian Converos, people forced to convert to Catholicism, first in Spain and later in Portugal. Whilst there may be a number of people whose perceived sense of heritage is mistaken, there are many individuals who descend from the forcibly converted, especially in Central and South America. A school of thought has emerged that insists that anyone who was forcibly converted in 1492 was no longer Jewish. This idea was not held by the Sephardic rabbis of the time or of later generations and they wrote precise halacha on how to deal with the situation of forced conversions. Rabbi Jose Faur's own research into the matter, includes eye witness accounts to events in Spain prior to the inquisition and includes a look at the intellectual works created by Conversos that were designed to covertly challenge the dry and oppressive atmosphere of their new Catholic environment.
There is another school of thought that claims the Converso's were willing converts. This is based on the fact that Sephardim acculturated to their environment and were able to remain observant Jews whilst being part of the surrounding milieu. In contradiction to Ashkenazi Judaism which was hermetic in nature, Sephardim were able to easily blend their own traditions with the local surroundings often leading to accusations of inauthenticity and willing assimilation. The failure to understand the Sephardi way of living, lack of knowledge of the intellectual works created by Conversos and their eye witness accounts of the horrors of the inquisition combined with ignorance to the Sephardi rabbis own teachings has created an environment in which the Conversos have come under attack.
Recent Jewish trends to deny the more positive Jewish experience of Islam and to join with right-wing Christians over issues related to Western thought and Zionism, has led some to claim that the inquisition was a good thing, keeping Europe tolerant! On another front there are messianic Zionists who have very inflated numbers of people they consider to be Conversos and "lost Jews" who they hope to convert and bring to Israel in the demographic war with the Arabs or to use as a kind of diplomatic "fact on the ground" abroad. These Conversos, whether they have Jewish heritage or not, are converted to a type of Judaism unknown to Sephardim. It's against this tragic decline in Jewish knowledge and contemporary social changes that some of our best and most intriguing works and the names that belong to them have been lost.

Table 4: Middle East and Israel
Aside from works of religion and history, this section also includes numerous books that are critical for understanding how the founding of the state of Israel and Ashkenazi hegemony and racism has undermined the classic Sephardic tradition. These titles, most of them written by Sephardim, document both the historical heritage and the transition away from their cosmopolitan and pluralistic values, to a chauvinistic form of Zionism, Haredi Judaism and a trite form of Orientalism. Nothing intellectually Sephardi has really survived in Israel. Completing this section was also problematic from the perspective of a new form of Mizrachi radicalism that emerged in the 1950's. Whilst this radicalism embraced many of the cosmopolitan Sephardi values of old, it often came at the expense of religious tradition. I hope that titles here can bring together the old religious way of seeing things combined with the political and social and not one at expense of the other.
An additional issue facing Sephardim today is a new form of "Mizrachi" identify which is built around food, music and a rather limited and false view of the Jewish experience of Islam which has been reduced to being only about "antisemitism" and "expulsion". Israeli rabbis dominate the religious element of the new Mizrachi identity and they often made halachic rulings against the better knowledge of the older Sephardi rabbis. I have chosen not to include those rabbis here, whose works and outlook better reflect the Haredi way of doing things. Often they disregarded and continue to disregard wider learning to the benefit of a Judaism that focuses only on ritual, humrot and Jewish law. Jewish history has been placed in a straight jacket designed to reflect the current Israeli/Zionist realities.
I'm not interested in pro/anti Israel polemics, but hope to provide the reader with a better understanding of what Sephardic culture was and how that came to be erased. I have a belief that the old values could help solve many problems in today's world.
