Thank you SO much for everything you do. I am travelling to Lisbon. Every little drop of knowledge is precious. I will try to get your books. Toda Raba
Very interesting, I look forward to learning more about this time in the history of Portugal and the Shephardic Jews. Thanks for sharing this information.
Portugal's Jewish history is buried into the faces of people where my parents are from in the Azores and on the continent. Sefarad is very different. They always mixed with the locals almost from the beginning, going back 2000 years until about the 1370. By 1420, most had fully converted, there was very little hiding of roots because it disappeared. No Jewish presence can be found now in the Azores. Survival of the fittest. In the mainland, a few remained in remote Belmonte, some fled to Amsterdam and then London. Even in remote areas of my parents island, there was so much genetic drift in 500 years due to endogamy that it is only possible to trace 15-20% of Jewish DNA. It will take a few more decades before the technology improves and we can paint a better picture.
😂is God just gonna let a race promise He Made Abraham just disappear into thin air?,you disowned an empire in Latin America cause they became Christians in Spain,1942 ,the seed of Abraham is in Latin America,we know becoming Christian is the ultimate act of treason for you folks practicingJudaism,and then you askenazi allegedly absorbed the khazarians,you's are in the trade of "if you're not into our religion,you're banned from our race",the new christians disappeared into thin air as well is just laughable,😂200,000,000 Christian Jews in Latin America that you won't recognize,(you hate Christians to death,you ashkenazi,your jewish,there's a school of thought that you askenazi are more like turks...
In the small city where I live, Castelo Branco, you can still walk through the ancient Jewish area. I wonder what it was like to live there in the days soon after the forced conversions to Catholicism. Did the Novos Cristãos continue to live together in the Jewish area? Now the houses there are in ruins.
Who were the jews & moslems? Where did they originate before arrival into Andalusia? Were they able to live together in peace before being exiled.? What progress did the Catholic Church make after the takeover. Can you recognize these people today who might be descendant of these North African Moors?
I have recently taken a DNA test. Half of my DNA is traced back to Spain /Portugal with some Jewish ancestry. My last name is Chavera... could be hebrew meaning "friend", have you come across that name by any chance?
Mr. Zimler is incorrect about the coming of new Christians to Brazil. The Jews arrived in Brazil in early 1500’s way before the “first” synagogue was created in Recife.
I never said that New Christians and/or Jews didn't arrive in Brazil earlier. I said that the first synagogue was in Recife. So that means that the first organized and officialized community was in Recife. Do you disagree with that? If you do disagree, please tell me where was an official community before Recife? The New Christians in the parts of Brazil ruled by the Portugese would NOT have been permitted to have a synagogue or organize a community. I thought that was obvious from all I said. If you disagree, I would be very intrested in finding out about that, since I can't find anything about an earlier synagogue or organized community before Recife. It would have had to be completely secret! In general, the New Christians avoided Brazil while under Portuguese rule because of the Inquisition. They went to the parts of Brazil ruled by the Dutch. If you disagree with that, please send me your sources. I would be very interested in reading your sources. Thank you.
Please read my original message. I never used the work community. There are plenty of inquisition cases against new Christians practicing Judaism way before the first synagogue in Recife. One exemple is Branca Dias, her mother, her children and her descendants. The Bicudo family … there were many. Look for inquisition cases in Brazil at torre do tombo.
@@Gotlev6 The Inquisition began in 1536 in Portugal and its colonies. After that, New Christians were persecuted. I never said anything different. So I don't understand why you say I am "incorrect".
@@bigthurl5613 Not in Portugal. It started in 1536. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_Inquisition The Jews were not converted until 1497. So it would have been IMPOSSIBLE to have an Inquisition meant to persecute backsliding New Christians until 1497. The Inquisition started earlier in Spain. But Spain is not Portugal. Spain and Portugal were only united for a brief time starting in 1580 and ending in 1640.
The Marranos ( The original Jews of Portugal 🇵🇹) did not convert to “ Judaism because that’s not how we the Jews of Spain and Portugal worship Yah , that was made up by the Ashkenazi / Khazar converts, who hijacked our way of life and changed it to suit themselves
Ashkenazi jews and Sephardic Jew are genetically similar as both diaspora groups came from the Diaspora of 70a.d. The two Diaspora groups separated about 1k years ago.

I've 'attended' a number of your virtual events in the past. They're all very good. This one surpasses them all (of the ones I've viewed)!
In Lisbon a Jewish gravestone 2000 years was found.
Amazing! Watching from London UK. ❤

How can people mention the Sephardic Jews of Spain and Portugal without mentioning the Yahya Family of Jews?
Who are the Yahya Jews ?

@@tagbarzeev8283 Ashkenazi are converts, while the real Sephardic are the sons of YEHUDA
Ashkenazi Jews are the descendents of Ashkenazi, a descendent of Noah. They migrated to East Europe into diaspora.
@benayahbendavidgavinrodrig1017 No, they aren't. Ashkenazi, a Noah's descendent, is the father of the Ashkenazi Jews.
The comments are rife with bigotry. Clean it out.
Bruh I’m black that’s where my family came from they wasn’t y’all
Were some of these Jews melanated people? I've come across old writings that say they were swarthy or black. I know Portuguese that are black.
Too much hoopla and very poor scholarship
