Don Angel Pulido, the creator of the idea of repatriation of the descendants of the expelled Spanish Jews, is dead at the age of eighty. He claimed that this would be a fitting means of amending in some measure the wrong which Spain had done to the Jewish ancestors of Sephardic Jews who are now scattered throughout the world.
The entire Jewish population mourns the death of Don Pulido.
