This video brings to life the incredible story of Rabbi Shmuel Palache, a Moroccan Jew who lived at the crossroads of faith, diplomacy, and piracy in the early 17th century. Arrested in England in 1614 for piracy against Spain, this fictionalized monologue reimagines what his courtroom defense might have sounded like. Based on true events, Palache’s life reflects the resilience of a man who defied persecution during the era of the Spanish Inquisition and left an enduring mark on Jewish history.
