Question 7

On behalf of the Jews, what would you say to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella against their edict of expulsion?

Answer 7

King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, I am here on behalf of the Jews to persuade you and warn you that expelling the Jews from Spain will be a horrible mistake. Us Jews play an important role in the Spanish Government. If you expel the Jews from Spain you will no longer have slaves. By expelling us Spain will suffer economically because no one will be doing Jewish jobs. Let the Jews stay and you won’t regret it.
