What's a crypto Jew and why is the very idea freaking people out? Why were Jews expelled, banished and sent out from over 800 places in the last 2000 years? Can we prevent the next big expulsion or worse? To find out, travel back in time with us to the dawn of the Spanish inquisition in the late 1400's. Indeed, in the Jewish collective consciousness, before the Holocaust the expulsion from Spain was the second only to the destruction of the temple. But the events that preceded that historic ejection bear striking similarities to the events in 1930's Europe and, not surprisingly, to the events in 2020's United States. If we learn to read the signs, connect the dots, and see the patterns, we can predict the near future with a certain degree of confidence. Enough to take notice and try something new in our never ending war on Jew hatred and self-hating Jewishness. For best results, start from episode 1.

Lio: smashed all the idols, leaving the biggest one untouched. When his father came back and asked what happened, Abraham said that the largest idol destroyed the others. His father didn't believe him, saying idols couldn't do such a thing, leading Abraham to question why people worshiped them at all. This story is about questioning the norms and seeking a deeper understanding. It shows how the Jewish people are often driven by challenging the status quo and looking for unity beyond the accepted norms of their time.
Seth: It's a great example of questioning blind faith and societal norms. And it ties back to why people are intrigued or irritated by Jewish behavior—it's this relentless push towards questioning, understanding, and unity. But without unity, it's like we don't have the fuel that propels us in history.
