The New Sepharad: The Rise and Fall of Jewish Salonica (Rerun)

star 0

JL;DR SUMMARY The podcast episode discusses the history of Salonica, now Thessaloniki, which became the largest Jewish city in Europe after the influx of Sephardi Jews expelled from Spain in the late 15th century. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski.

  • At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself.
  • This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude.
  • Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from.
  • But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
  • And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
