“A Honra de ser Judeu”“Honor of being Jewish” was the title of the June 1927 edition of Ha-Lapid. Ha-Lapid (“The Torch" in Hebrew) was a Portuguese newspaper, part of the Jewish community of Porto. It was founded and directed by Artur Carlos de Barros Basto, one the fathers of the resurrection of the New Christians. The first issue was published in April 1927 and the last in 1958. Initially, the periodicity was monthly from 1929 went bimonthly, with the latest figures published semiannually. Ha-Lapid was instrumental in helping the New Christian community navigate their complex identities while maintaining a connection to their Jewish roots during a time of significant adversity. Its influence extended beyond mere reporting; it was a supportive voice for a community striving to preserve its heritage in challenging circumstances.
