Does anyone in this group happen to have any useful material on MB'Y - essays, photos, biographies, bibliographies?Am supposed to be giving a talk about him at Limmud this year but still looking for more resources.

ABRAHAM COHEN "DO BRASIL"For 25 years now I have been researching Abraham Cohen, also known as Abraham Cohen "do Brasil". Yet his precise identity eludes me, even after all these years, and after all that I found about him. Isaac Emmanuel mentions that his background, once, he is from the Orient, second, he is from the Levant. Both times he does not provide a source for that. First time he is ment...
https://youtu.be/euFumP7OvhMThere is a poignant dimension to this wonderful and unusual melody for Tehilat, sung at the end of Arbit on Simchat Torah and Shabbat Beresheet. While it serves as the finale for two of the most musically satisfying tefilot of the year, like the final movement of a great symphony, it also betokens the approaching conclusion of an uplifting spiritual journey through mont...

WARNING: BORING STUFF AHEADI have been asking for digitising of some financial registers of the Sephardic Community in The Hague. Here is one result. It is the "Grootboek" of the community 1778-1795. I was hoping they would begin with the first one which starts in 1713, and ends in 1743. Anyway, it starts with an index, so you can easily see if someone or something is mentioned that you like. It's...

I wrote an article detailing what I know on the origins of the family thus far, so if you want more details than what I put in this post please ...
