The Foundation for the Preservation of the Western Sephardic Tradition 24 April 2014 à 03:26

America's Oldest Jewish Cemetery is 'Western Sephardic' and is located in Chinatown New York! Many of the early stones even contain Portuguese from Conversos that had already returned to Judaism in the 17th and 18th centuries!

I've recently launched a group for Converso descendants. The goal is to share experiences, create events and explore Jewish identity with others that have similar histories. In addition to a fb we will have actual get togethers in NY at the Spanish Portuguese Synagogue (Where I am Educational Director). If you'd like to participate or know someone else who would please contact me at rabbi.smorris@...
