Thank you, I can't get enough.
the expulsion decree wasn't revoked until 1978! by the way, the reason the inquisition was spread to portugal was not so much about the spanish emigrés, but because portugal had a very old and vibrant jewish community
In was revoked in
December 1968
@@angelosedacca1940 In Spain. Was it ever in place in Portugal? I know that King Manuel of Portugal forced the Jews to convert to Catholicism or go underground -- but did they ever have an edict like Spain? The Belmonte Jews of Portugal have a similar story to the Xeutas.
@@eddihaskell yes. There was some royal decree or edict. I do not think it had a specific name per se like the ALHAMBRA DECREE. It was issued in Dec. 1496 and ordered to Jews to leave by July (?) 1497.
@@eddihaskell what was formally revoked / abolished was the Portuguese Inquisition on March 31. 1821
The establishment of the Inquisition in Portugal was imposed by Spain as a condition for Manuel I of Portugal to be given Princess Isabel of Aragon (Spain) in marriage.
Thanks you for sharing on youtube.
I never thought about the Conversos (re)learning some of their Jewish heritage from Esther. Now I'm shaking my head that I hadn't. lol Thanks again for the details that turn up the wattage of the dim bulb.
Fascinating and edifying as always.
Muy bueno!! Gracias.
Fascinating.
First time I heard of the three day fast by the Anusim.
Today the three day fast is known as the fast of the Maharil. Who commanded it in the beginning of the 15th century by the Hussite episode.
Amazing!
Thank you
Thank you for explaining Crypto Jews. This is the first time I heard about them. Our family prays for the Jewish people, God’s chosen, on a regular basis.
He’s talking about conversos.
The truth is .
Crypto-Jews are people who secretly practice Judaism while publicly identifying with another religion. The term "crypto" means hidden,
Very interesting! May it be also the reason why in Viseu, Portugal there are cities carrying the name of Ester? Parada de Ester. Im wondering
Seven trillion thumbs up!!!!
The Last Anusah-fascinating story
Thank you, once again.
My former college roommate was a professor (he is now retired). He discusses cultural issues in New Mexico and the Spanish influence and talks about this in that context. You can find it at "Cultural Perspectives of New Mexico - Larry Torres" Pick it up at 6:00 and watch for 2 minutes if you don't want to hear the whole thing (but I like the whole thing).
What was the Crypto-Jews opinions of Bitcoin and Ethereum? Would they have preferred proof-of-work or proof-of-stake consensus algorithms? Is 'proof-of-work' inherently more 'godly' than 'proof-of-stake' due to actual labor/energy being expended on consensus?
Ask the rhadanites
I think, like most people, they would give you one of four answers. 1. They like it. 2, They think its a huge scam 3. They are not sure 4. They have never heard of it.
Constanza DE LA garza Nunez Is my 12 great grandmother. She Was Jewish my mother and father are distant cousins
How did you find this? Family tradition or did you do the genealogy? I would be super excited to find my Sephardic ancestors
Purim is a fascinating yet troubling Jewish holiday. Its sort of a template on how to survive in exile, but it also shows some contradictions.
It's best enjoyed with others.
You are always Interesting 😊🧠👀
I’m just finding out that I have Jewish roots from my mothers side and I’m a Muslim from Northern Nigeria my mother is Fulani.
Interesting
@@HenryAbramsonPhD I need help please, I need someone to guide me into understanding a lot of things about Judaism because I think we were raised on Judaic traditions even though we are Muslims, because im aware due to my interactions with many Jews in london that Judaic and Islamic traditions are almost identical.
I’m really confused and I’ve been reading for months now finding out so many things but yet have so many more questions! Sometimes I feel like my head is going to explode.
What a horrible experience. It was good to see Mel Brooks take a stab at it. Purim is the most important holiday. This weekend it's reading Esther.

We've flattened their fingers
We've branded their buns
Nothing is working
Send in the nuns!
(The nuns walk in, a giant block rises and the nuns partake in a swimming show, the jewish men go down a slide and are promptly drowned. It ends with the nuns coming back up with lights on their head and it turns out to take the shape of a menorah)
[Torquemada and Company]
The Inquisition, what a show
The Inquisition, here we go
We know you're wishin'
That we'd go away
So, c'mon you Moslems and you Jews
We got big news for all of yous
You better change your point of views today
Cause the Inquisition's here and it's here to stay
During the Natzi regime many Jews wore crosses. So figure the Natzi party ruling for 400+ years
they say that John Calvin quite possibly may be a Crypto Jew!
Sir , there were an inquisition in Goa, India
What about the Fast of Esther/Taanit Esther? Maybe I’m misunderstanding you, but you’re suggesting it’s not a mitsva?
Throughout extreme south Texas and northern Mexico you find that the name Esther was once used very frequently among the crypto families up until the mid 20th century. Regrettably, much of this is finally fading away in the 21st century. Ironically, in the absence of Christian persecution, there seems to be an apathy among many people who are obviously crypto descended
They KNOW from family legends that they are Jews but they don't make any effort to reach out to rejoin normative Judaism. But they are proud that they still put stones on graves, and that they never eat pork tamales. That is the reality here on the Rio Grande river in Laredo, Roma, the Valley Monterrey, etc. We need Spanish language documentary videos to at least educate people. And yet we don't proselytize.. but look at Chabad going after fallen away Ashkenazim. Could we not have an equivalent Sephardic outreach for people whose families haven't been in a synagogue for 16-20 generations? 🤔
👍
Let’s run it back
In my opinion, everything said in the book of Esther is true, except for one thing that she took revenge on IranIn my opinion, he took revenge from Assyria, because at that time, Babylon was part of Iran's territory

Curious that other peoples that were oppressed (the Taino of cuba) that YHVH loved were destroyed while this strange people that did not "GROAN" but had some bit of difficulty (versus the Maccadians) are considered the oppressed of the world. Hebrews are not 'Jewish" but I think HaShem is very fond of you because you are very adorable. The Shekinah of the Glory that represent Ester...The Devine Femine. The Aleph Tau that was given to Ruth...the beauty. YAHshua Hamshiech came to bring you home brother. You have to find a path through the son to the father and the mother
Moroccan, saudi and jordan kingdom are crypto jew 😅😅😅
Why did Hebrews become J...ews? Where did the J come from and the changing of the name of the LORD YAHSHUA son of El Elyon?
Answers to your questions.
1. The term Jew (in English), Hebrew, and Israelite were used interchangeably through the birth of the State of Israel in 1948. Now, since every Jew does not live in the State of Israel, and there are Arab Israelis and other Israelis who are not Jewish, the term "Jew" encompasses Jews (around 15 million around the world) who do not live in the State of Israel. The term itself comes from the Tribe of Judah and the Kingdom of Judah.
2. The name "Jesus" (in English) should more accurately be called Joshua in English. That is what Jesus himself was called in what is his everyday language, Aramaic -- Jehoshua. Aramaic, which is still spoken by some old Christian communities in Syria and other places in the Middle East, is closely related to Hebrew/. Jesus is a Koin Greek (the language of the New Testament) transliteration of the name Joshua.
3. The first Christians were overwhelmingly either Aramaic speaking (including the Jerusalem and Galilean communities) or Koin Greek speaking (in places like Alexandria and Antioch). The Septuagint, a version of the Old Testament written in Greek several hundred years before Jesus, served as the initial foundation for the first (Old) portions of the Bible.
@@eddihaskell thank you this is beautiful
@@eddihaskell 1948 is very recent and I think there's a reason I'm here. You are amazing and the things you have taught me. Thank you beloved brother
@@eddihaskell sorry one more Jeremiah 10 11. why does the language change and who is HE speaking to? You are the smartest person I've known on the WORD
“Jew” comes from Old French “juif,” which derives from Latin and Greek iudaios. Latin and Greek do not have a J, but French does. All of our Biblical names come through Old French. Also, in your King James Bible of 1611, J and I are interchangeable, suggesting even then the pronunciation wasn’t yet clear (just as German J carries a /y/ sound).
“Hebrew” is from “ivri” and the patriarch “Ever/Eber” (see Genesis 10 and 11). Jews are one tribe of Hebrews, the tribe of Judah/Judea
