- Two noteworthy scholars, Professor Jane Gerber and Professor Paulo Mendes Pinto, offer their thoughts on the history of Sephardic Jewry, paying special attention to the Jews of Portugal. Appropriately hosted by the Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue, Congregation Shearith Israel of New York City, this event will educate and inform anyone who is interested in the complex history of these very special Jews. Attended by numerous Portuguese dignitaries and diplomats, the event was moderated by Shearith Israelapos;s own Rabbi Shalom Morris.

As a Portuguese historian very interested in Sephardic Jews, I must congratulate and applaud the masterful class given by Professor Jane Gerber about Portuguese Jews and their diaspora.
I lived in Tomar, home to one of the oldest synagogues in Europe. Three days a week I would visit the woman that at the age of almost 90 kept it open, chatting with her in Portuguese, she the only native I could understand. Why? She understood how to be understood. I loved her and my time in Portugal so deeply. Thank You.
I am descended from the Portuguese Sephardic Jewish community of Barbados through my grandmother. I have followed clues for many years to finally discover this hidden past. Thank you for this discussion and for including some information on the synagogue in Barbados, where I have discovered many of my ancestors are buried.
as you may now know, you can apply for portuguese citizenship. You would be welcomed.
Me as well! My family descends from Almeida. My surname is Almeida
My father is hatian and his forefathers came from the land of Portugal and our last name was changed.
Barbados … it is on the cover of Treasures Of The Caribbean with the five sand floor synagogues.
Awesome information. In my book, "Ten Times Chai: 180 Orthodox Synagogues of New York City," I include photos of Congregation Shearith Israel (Remnant of Israel), the Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue in the City of New York, founded in 1654. Current building is located on Central Park West, was built in 1897, and was designated a Landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission. My book can be purchased on Amazon. It has 613 color photos, one for each mitzvah in the Torah.
The very first Synagogue of NYC was founded by Portuguese Jews who had escaped the Inquisition, first to the City of Recife, Brazil, then migrated to 'New Amsterdam'.
tiluriso ... I heard Christopher Columbus was a Portuguese Jews and he set sail Hispaniola after expelled by Queen Isabella.
It is true
As a portuguese safardic descent of a doctor jew of the XIX century I'm proud that the portuguese jews helped to make great Portugal, to build the first global empire and established the principals of the modem world trade since that time, same portugueses jews that were the founders of New York City from the New Amsterdan heritage.
My Grandmother,Dorthy's mother,my Great Grandmother,Helena Elezibeth Kaufmann's mother,Catharina Gutner was a Portuguese Sephardic Jew.Her parents had come to America after 1812 and settled in New York.We had always wondered where our mother,Shirley got her "exotic" look.We use to think she was Polynesian (her tiny deep brown eyes,coal black hair and buttery golden beige skintone).She was always painfully silent about her family's background,so we always wondered why.She became a mystery to us kids and even my dad.I now believe she knew she was Jewish but kept it to herself.She and her mother and my grandmother,great grandmother and great great grandmothers all became Christians.Hitler was in power in Europe at the time when my mom was a little girl and I'm sure,her family kept it a secret-for safety reasons.I find her and her People to be so Beautiful and I am so glad to have her blood flowing through my veins,if only a little.
Well I'm portuguese but I don't see how Portuguese people look like your definition. I'm blonde with green eyes. Celtic people are among our DNA origins and because of that many of us have fair skin and light hair...
And Portugal was a safe place for Jews on world War II. The iberian Jews suffered a lot but on 16 to 19th century with the inquisition. I'm proudly jew. Ashkenazi and Sefardic.
@@theartboxprints What about your family?
Portugal and the Azorce Ilands was a safe haven for many nations. 🙏🏽
There's a very famous TV Presenter/Business man in Brazil called Silvio Santos. He's real name is Senor Abravanel, his relatives came from Tessalonika, Greece, he is a direct descendant of Don Isaac Abravanel, a prominent Sephardi from the 16th century.
I don't understand why the second speaker asserted that at the time of Alphonso Henriques that the Jews were "the only ones who could read. " Roman Catholicism was introduced to what is now Portugal under the Roman Empire in the first half of the first millennium AD. There was already a substantial number of literate Catholic clerics.
I think the second speaker meant that the percentage of literate people among Jews was much higher than among non-Jews.
I understand your point of view. Possibly the jews had the "know how" and the capital which made them attractive to the first King of Portugal and tho his father.Actually his father advised the son,the future king,to respect and keep the land owners on his side,in another words:"do not bite the hand that feeds you". Now the jews would profit from that advice if they were able to provide services to the crown and to the country. It seems in fact this to be true,they were able to come up with the goods in those days. The levels of literacy in the early days would be very poor within the population.The Portuguese language in the small cradle of Portugal was spoken also in Galiza and it had also a written format,however simple.The progress to full literacy has been slow.In the early parts of the twenty century,grade four in Portugal was a great thing to have.So a man with an eye in the land of the blind,would indeed be a king.I think sometimes,Portugal without the Jews became a balloon without air. An empty balloon fascinated with the academic learning. Portugal for a long time has been under the spell of "DOCTORISM" which is a grave illness indeed.So to be someone in society the aim was to become a doctor. Now "doctorism" is also an empty balloon.Please do not come now and say that I am wrong because there are good doctors in Portugal.This is not the point,the point is that people in Portugal are fascinated with the DR. next to their name, and forget that they to not have the originality of the Jew to make the Dr work and produce fruit.They open their mouths and abstract concepts come out of it .It does not make sense.They lost the plot
A Jew, is a Jew, regardless his country (or unfortunately sometimes arrogance - by ignorance, of course) or observance of the jewish laws. Who says this? G-d Himself. Who am I to contradict the Creator? I don't need to understand G-ds ways, simply to obey.
Now... I am Jewish and Portuguese, I also have ashkenazi blood from my grandfather's side (Germany, actually). Plus, I'm also half black (visible minority, as they call it now... politically correct speech... :)
It is true all the atrocities in Iberia land. Also, there is something you only know if you are from Portugal because feelings and knowing what people deeply think and feel, don't appear in any scholar book researchers use. Half of my life was in Portugal, people are not interviewed by you, they simply converse in the daily basis... truth comes out better this way.
Portuguese people are humble and kind.
The fear and danger was to everybody, not only Jews. It would be enough that your neighbour envies you and accuse you of being practicing judaism or helping Jews, you'd be in the same jail. Also, it was enough you live near by some suspected family to be held prisoner and tortured (you or your family) so you tell lies or do whatever they wanted you to do or say...
In modern times, with 40 years of dictatorship, the fear remained : people were tortured to death. I don't want to specify what they did - it's too ugly.
Portuguese people are truly nice people. They tend to accept everyone without judging them. Whether you are Jewish, muslim or have other different ways to live. They are not just tolerant, they respect you as a person, regardless your beliefs as long as you don't harm others.
Be critical and do your own research in everything you find in youtube. I think that this sensitive subject needs more than one lecture to fully understand it. Partial knowledge may be as dangerous as no knowledge at all.
Having that said, I find this lecture most interesting and useful, as far as I'm concerned.
what part of you is half black because the Ashkenazi is from the line of Japheth impossible of being Hebrew blood and are converts from Karzars . So the only part can be of original stock of Yasharahla from the House of Yasharahla is your black side of your family if it is from your father.
@Marvin Barnhill You are correct an Yisraelite are not from Babylon but their father Abraham was from there a city call ER of the Chaldean's An Yisraelite is one from the seed of Jacob or Yaiqab the father of the 12 tribes of Yasharahlayam as his name is Yasharahla. if you are seeking the truth concerning who are the true Hebrew Yisraelites I can help with that as the Khazar and Ashkenazim are from the seed of Jepheth or Yaphath an not Shamitic and therefore can not be from the line of Sham.

I wish Portugal could become a strong supporter of the Jewish people: it would be good for their country, for their Jewish ancestors, and for the nation of Israel. G-d would bless them if they did this.

+David Leitman
That user "António Rocha (Mrklipstar)" is clearly mentally disturbed !!! **LooooooooooooL*
+António Rocha (Mrklipstar) Antonio Rocha you have Jew ancestors Rocha (rock in portuguese)is a designated surname to jew (new cristian) portuguese,its like Oliveira(oil tree)Azevedo(olive oil)Carneiro(lamb),Ferreira(iron forge),aka Ferry american adapt,and Perry (adapt.)for Pereira(Peartree),same with arabs (almeida,Duniz,benitez),all potuguese and long part of Brazilians are Semites you cant scape hahaha,thats why Brazil is a"diplomatic dwarf"bad ancestors hahaha
+Lucky Master that's not completely true, your affirmation are quite off.
First of all, not every Tree and animal name rezamble New Christians (mix people of Jews with old Christians), the names were already there, they already existed for Old Christians, but were the ones given to jews to be easily recognisable in a "subtil" kind of discrimination towards them.
You would probably say that the name Abreu (my name) is a New Christian name too, well you wouldn't be that far from the truth, since my name comes from one of the oldest noble families in Portugal it was one of the names used to new christians as well
Is Natural that new and old Christians have same names. Portugal was and still is very christian so basically a lot of names were Latin appropriations of hebraic biblical names, the same happens for almost every rest of Europe and respective ex-colonies.
That's why i can affirm that Portuguese are as semites as a Germans or French or as you, the all world as that bit of jew blood that not even you can escape from it.
"Azevedo" doesn't mean Olive oil, I don't even know from where you took that ideia, since the Portuguese name to Olive oil is "Azeite".
Azevedo comes from a plant called "Azevinho, and it already existed before being given to jews.
Almeida don't comes directly from the arabe language, (it would be considered heresy).
when ,in medieval times, Christians Nobels conquer some place, they could give the name of that place an Christian appropriation of it old name, so every one would know, that by your name, you were the conquer of some specific place.
Almeida is the Christian name to the conquest of the castle of "Al Majida"(Glorious dwelling).
About Duniz and Benitez, those are Spanic names not Portuguese.
Fascinating history. Superb professor and researcher. Obrigada.
It is Amazing and very interesting history of Jews. Children of God, our Father in the haven made a big Miracle to save His children! "We are the world." & I am hoping He never leave His children without Hope!!!

Thank you very much for this elaborate History.
Again professor, you mention the church. You mean the Roman Catholic Church, of course.
My grandfather, on a business trip to England and France in in 1903 in search of a manufacturer willing and capable to deliver a consignment of teapots specially made with straight spouts (like small watering cans) specially for the Moroccan and Algerian market found himself in Spain just before Rosh Hashana. So he sent my grandmother in Gibraltar a wire advising her he would arrive likely after Yom Kippur. He decided to celebrate the Jewish New Year on his own, in his hotel room. So he ventured to the public market and proceeded to buy apples, cinnamon, etc., and he noticed a priest in a full cassock following him closely and purchasing the identical fruit. They came to a stall selling pomegranates. They both instinctively reached out for the very same pomegranate on display in the basket before them. The priest insisted grandfather should have it. Grandfather insisted the priest should have it. This discussion to and fro-ed several times until the priest found an opportunity to furtively look left and right and to blurt out in a whisper "Are you a Jew ?"...."Yes !" replied grandfather..."Well...so am I" replied the priest. "So what are you doing dressed like that, fancy dress ?".." No, It is a long story....and a good business..and here is not the place to recount it..and I take it you are visiting ?" Reply "Yes". "And what are you doing here and where are you staying may I ask ?" Reply. "I am on my way to Gibraltar where I live. I am a businessman in the tea trade and I have crossed over from France having secured a consignment of plated teapots for the markets in Morocco and Algeria and I am staying at hotel so and so.....", to which the priest instantly responded by saying "Well, I suggest that instead of remaining alone in your room, I invite you to spend New Year with me and my family and friends if you give me your basket then tonight you can join us" Reply.... "Join you and your family and friends.....where exactly ?". ...Reply...."Why...in the Cathedral of course....come to the side door to the Sacresty....knock loudly 4 times...my son will let you in...you follow him....no talking....he will bring you to us...alright ?". So grandfather who was fearless and very adventurous, did exactly that. His son was dressed as a choirboy who led him to an obscure corner of the Cathedral where there was a flagstone with a ring in the middle. Grandad pulled it back to reveal a spiral descending stone staircase illuminated by torches all the way down. It led to a huge cellar, filled with happy people, men, women and children. He was now introduced to the occupants and their families one by one, the Cardinal so and so of such and such, the Bishop so and so of such and such, the other Cardinals and Bishops, several parish priests all of them and their families, all Sephardi Jews ! Is it not amazing ?
Attended Shearith Israel as a young girl with my dear Abraham family. Loved it!
Besides Amsterdam, there was Hamburg as an important haven for Portuguese Jews.

Right, and Aruba.
Clearly, the Ladino (Judeo-Castilian) language and possibly also the Lusitanic (Judeo-Portuguese) language influenced the creation of the Papiamento (or Papiamentu) creale language of the Netherlands Antilles.

great presentation, I greatly enjoyed it.
This was most fascinating. I would like to see more about the sephardim who arrived in South Carolina--there is not so much about these people, at least compared with many other diaspora.
They are all around you in South Carolina
They are what you call African Americans
The Portuguese Jews were call Black Jews and were described as such.
They were taken to the Island of St Thomas and Guinea in west Africa and this is the "Slave Coast"
@@terrancemitchell4660 perhaps some. My father's family, though, remained in Horry Co and then he moved to Florida mid 20th century. I am interested not so much as the dispersal as the arrival, the journey from Iberia in the 1400s to Netherlands, England, etc then to the New World...a significant route to Charleston, SC from Europe is typically left out.
de Lisboa. Decadence of Portugal began exactly when it was on the peak. It was when Jews were forced tp convert into crisãos-novos in order to our king D. Manuel I appease the Reis Católicos of Spain with the import of Inquisition. Things became even worse when Portugal was forced to make part of União Ibérica in 1580.

Goncalo Vaz Botelho (founded Ponta Delgada) may have been a descendent of Conversos. I am of the Azorean diaspora. I wanted to know the origin of my family name and the name Botelho first appears as having belonged to Jews.
With that knowledge and an appreciation for the Torah, I dedicated myself to convert and to learn about this history. Although I would consider it more of a reversion or correction.
I am in a sort of double diaspora. The Sephardic people have such a complex web of history, it's so fascinating.
God said he was going to scatter the Jews,boy did he over and over.but he did not destroy them.they are the most strongest and tough people I. have ever heard of,you have to. Believe they are the chosen people of God.millions have died through percusion from everybody.but they survive and now they want take shit from no one,and God promise to them is coming fullment.great nation again,but they wii bow down when Christ come ,just like everyone else,and realize he is the messiah.I respect and love my Jewish brothers and we have to stick together and fight this eviel world.

There's a 1973 Israeli Musical-Comedy movie called 'Kazablan' about a Moroccan Jew who falls for the daughter of a Hungarian Jew, very interesting and funny how it deals with the Sephardic/Ashkenazic cultural 'clash'.
Thank you very much for sharing this wonderful educational program.
people don't understand the political/religious climate of the time in Portugal.what our countrymen did for the jews was a risk for their own.many portuguese were targets for the inquisition BECAUSE we gave them safe haven and allowed them to retain their property.we had to convert them.not only to save our own existence,but also them.our nobility new the treasure of knowledge they gave us and many historical figures who improved our country were jews.it was a giant country-wide charade to keep the inquisition out of our country.there was forced conversions,of course.but it saved entire families you people have no idea.the mere fact that this little corner in the ass end of europe still survives,was the first to seriously explore the seas,was in part thanks to the knowledge the Sephardim gave to our country,and in part to our innate tolerance.we always considered ourselves differently from the rest of europe,a country of rebels and misfits.a tiny little country between the vast sea and a beast drooling with the prospect of absorbing us in to their "Spain".but we are still here,almost 900 years later.To all people who contributed to the survival of this country,i thank you.you are more portuguese than the worms who rules us now,bowing to decadent Brussels who,by extension, is ruled by germany who,by extension,is ruled by the U.S.
and what the f*ck is the problem of the Sephardim learn the bible and converse about it?it enabled to mingle,communicate and understand us,easing tension between them and the uneducated masses,easily swayed by the Church.
look at it like this:if Galileo lived in portugal,you bet he wouldn't die in house arrest,he would be given a office and encouraged to research further about the moon.everything in secret,of course,due to the intolerance of the church.
Nuno Baptista Very sad ..the way this lady explain about the portuguese Jewish.
She claims that they wher victims and in fact we all wher victims from the inquisition and the land predators.
I would like to listening her refer. To Hitler.
She should say thanks to the portuguese king and portuguese people to save so many Jewish in those old days and in second world war...oh yes ...second world war she must had forgotten.
Again her presentation his poor and tedious..
She had forgotten also that the portuguese Jewish had the same introduction in the portuguese society as a portuguese native and the good explanation is the great job performance they had.
As far as I can tell, while it's a fact that Jews did suffer discrimination, forced conversions and violence in Portugal, they found much more tolerance there towards them than in Spain. I think that's still the case even today.
I would also guess that many Jews who had the opportunity to leave preferred to stay in order to avoid losing their property and priviledges, just like many Jews and other Israelites here in Israel and in other parts of the Middle East and North Africa opted to accept Islam in order to avoid violence and discriminatory laws imposed under Sharia (Islamic law).
Kyndjal . NOT RULE by U.S. , .... , Germany/Brussels ?! ..... , I agree .....
@@tonygomes4910 at the time I was correct.nothing the germans did was without the say-so of the "Allies",unless they ran the risk of another "Denazification".
Now?...I don't know.
Germany is like an expensive whore who's fallen on hard times and can't discriminate clients so, everything goes.
mr. pestana , here are some facts just as jews helped spain become a great world power, they also helped Portugal attain it's world greatness ...........it was the great jewish map makers in Portugal, that helped the Portuguese ,when this tiny nation set out on sailing journies.... this is indisputable and irrefutable.
Great lesson of Portuguese History
I am not Jew,I was born in a Catholic family ( at least my father was a zealous Catholic,my mother was not so close to the church...) and I was raised as a Catholic ( made the first communion, etc.) but when I was a little bit older and I started to read the Bible and the books of History ( specially the History of the Inquisition..) I began to distance myself form the Catholic Church,because I began to see the discrepancy between the words of Jesus in the Bible and the actual actions of the CC over the centuries.....
today I am a Christian in Faith, without belonging to any church,because I believe to be a Christian I only really need to believe in His words and preaching rather than hollow words of men...

Professor Gerber, you overlook the significance of the obvious. At 10.14 "Marranos". You identify this nomenclature translated as pig when in fact the correct translation is not pig but pork, in the plural sense. This is because as part of the process of the Inquisition in subjugating and humiliating the Sephardim of Spain they additionally were coerced to eat pork and to be witnessed publicly to do so. I am surprised you omitted to mention this detail.
This Lopez you claim was Portuguese was lopes and not Lopez very interesting information about the people of my country portugal
To Mendes Pinto. Are you saying that if I am Moreno, with the surname Mendes, that I am, or might Be?
Another question...isn't it factual that the Portuguese Jews were " New Portuguese?" since they were actually descendants of
Spanish Jews fleeing the Caos of 1391? Or, did Portugal have its own Jewish population?
Portugal was a country built by templars. Take it as you will.
Excellent presentation, Jane Gerber. Well researched and presented. But could you do something to stop the falling hair on your face, as it distracted the presentation watching you trying to get it out of your face without using your hands. That annoyance was a small price to pay, however, for the material that you so lovingly presented. Very in depth research is evident here.
Read the writings of Anita Novinsky, a pioneer in the research of the Portuguese Inquisition in Brazil. Millions of Brazilians are descendants of crypto jews and still carry Jewish traditions even if unbeknownst to them
Fascinating and riveting ... and tragic!
It is interesting to know more about the Jews history in Portugal and in the world but the presentation shows allot of suffering that most of people (not only Jews) suffered at the time, totally unnecessary (it seems this is a way they justify Israel revenge acts - also with Hitler acts and so old history). The question is that in Portugal we are far more peaceful to other religions, believes and races then other countries. Therefore, I Understand Jews work in a very organized way, passing their genes, they know this is the key, but that´s why they created a secret society and persisted, and that is good to know.
Well presented and documented but not enough emphasis on the suriname & curacao connection. As it was money and support from these communities that built the esnogas in rhode island and new york. Many americans arnt aware that the first jews that came to their shores came brazil and the caribbean islands notably jamaica barbados and the afore mentioned.

She completely forgets that in those years the most flourishing Jewry was in Thessaloniki, in northern Italy, throughout the Maghreb, Egypt, Syria, and even Galilee. Her vision is very short.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SEPHARDIC AND ASHKANAZI JEWS ?
ARE THE SEPHARDIC JEWS MORE JEWISH THAN THE ASHKANAZI JEWS ?
Sepharad = Spain and Portugal; Ashkenaz = Elsaß (Alsace), Lothringen (Lorraine) and Rheinland (Rhineland)in Germany where East European Jews come from. There's a thir group, i. e., Mizrahim = Middleeast Jews or those living in the Arab countries and Northern Africa. Versta je nu ?
No.
yes the sefardim are the true descendants of the jews of the bible the askenazim just impostors ( convertos)

Any biblical scholar will tell you that the scripture says that Israelites would dwell in Africa and historical evidence that there were Jews in sub-Saharan Africa and Northern Africa also and also in the Middle East or the so-called Middle East that is scripture if anybody deny this statement he is a liar and the truth is not in him or he/she needs to set down somewhere because they dont know the scriptures or history.
@freecitizen01 NA you cannot prove that!!! the elamites were Semitic and they were black and we all know that the elamites in the Hebrews were brother Nations just like the Ethiopians and Egyptian were brother Nations and black in color. We are not trying to attack the Jewish people we're just pointing out the fact did history does not support their claim, now they can still be Jewish but they cannot make the claim that they are the original children of Israel.
@@blackbirdflying9433 go look at this series of videos:Faces of the ancient middle east semites.your done.

St. Teresa of Avila was a descendant of the "conversos"

Here's the thing a Jewish man is no different than any other man he owned slaves and had his way with the slave women and the indigenous women so where did he go to confess the local rabbi you've been treated differently all your lives because of your inability to assimilate
THE GOVERNMENT OF SPAIN WANTS THE SEPHARDIC JEWS TO RETURN TO SPAIN.
THE SPANISH ECONOMY IS FACING HARD TIMES AND HOPES THAT THE RETURNING JEWS MAY BE ABLE TO REVIVE THE AILING SPANISH ECONOMY.
ALSO, CURRENT SPANIARDS ARE MORE TOLERANT THAN THEIR ANCESTORS AND ARE WILLING TO TOLERATE THE RETURNING JEWS.
Forget them ! I say don't return fam. TMH is about to pay everyone back for our bad treatment .Too Late now .
Minutes 32:16 Marvellous, well-studied and engaging Professor Jane Gerber says: "...the inquisition didn't come into the Portuguese Possessions in South America (i.e.: Brazil) right away". That suggests, the inquisition was eventually introduced in a later period. However, the inquisition NEVER WAS INTRODUCED in Portuguese America...neither "earlier", nor "later"! Portuguese America & Portuguese Africa were "inquisition-free"!!! And Professor Paulo Mendes Pinto has a terrible Portuguese Accent! It's absolutely charming, in my opinion, but his insecure pronunciation in English, along with awful mistakes (ex.: "comed", instead of "came"; "quetchions" instead of "questions") is dreadful ... He's an academic & a professor, for God's sake!!!**LoooooL**
+Rotebuehl1 The Inquisition did in fact come to Brazil. Many Brazilian descendants of Conversos were arrested there and remanded to Lisbon where they were burned at the stake. The Pernambuco inquisition was active after the Braganza reconquest from the Dutch.

Not wanting to relativise i.e. trivialise the "brazilian case", that singular episode You tried to mention did happen indeed. About 500 descendants of "conversos" were sent to Lisbon. And why? Because there was no inquisiton in Brazil !!! - during the 2nd half of the 18th century. However. that case is without comparison to the hundreds and hundreds arrested and burned in Portugal and elsewhere in Europe, between the 16th and 18th. centuries! And that historical event took place "only once", and not along generations and generations, like in the then-motherland Portugal.
THE PORTUS THINK THEY ARE VIKINGS WITH NO MIXTURES
Keep on lying...
