The Disputation of Tortosa

At the Pope's own summons, the rabbis of Country have been made to sit through month after month of public disputation in Tortosa, answering for their faith point by point before a hall of Christian scholars and a Jewish convert eager to prove his former community wrong. Many have not endured the ordeal with their convictions intact, and more than one aljama now finds its own rabbi gone over to the other side.

historical_info = d009_sephardi_catastrophe.3.historical_info The Disputation of Tortosa (1413–1414) was convened by the antipope Benedict XIII and ran for over sixty sessions, forcing rabbis from across Aragon to debate scripture against Jerónimo de Santa Fe, a former Jewish physician who had converted to Christianity and argued that the Talmud itself proved Jesus was the messiah. The disputation was followed by a wave of conversions and anti-Jewish legislation across the crown of Aragon.
