Thank you for approving my request!Even though my direct roots are from Ashkenaz - from grandfathers and grandmothers (and maybe from greats too)- sometimes I wonder where they've been lived before they arrived (escaped?) to Austro Hungary Empire, Poland, Belarus and Ukraine ... Did they have ancestors from Spain and Portugal? I know that in genealogical research you need a lot of patience. I ...
Thanks for approving me, Ton! I have a question about the New Sephardic cemetery in London. My gg grandparents were buried there. I read that it was covered by a highway and that it was bombed in WW II. What I want to know (I wrote Bevis Marks but nobody answered) is whether there were any pictures or records of the graves. My gg grandparents were Moses (d.1854) and Ribca (d.1864) Lopes de Le...

Irma Lopes Cardozo-Robles de Medina 1924-2016In 2008, I was introduced to Mrs. Cardozo-Robles de Medina by R’Ira Rodhes. I had just moved to New Jersey and wanted to connect with the Spanish-Portuguese community in New York. I remember that Shabbath in September when I met her. R’Rodhes told her that I was a fellow Sepharadi with roots in Curação. She was elated to know that I was active on behalf...

https://youtu.be/vbUI_4-54m4Before making Alia I spent many shabbatot and mo'adim in Amsterdam, where I experienced the incomparable atmosphere of the Snoge, and the friendship of many magnificently hospitable Esnogeiros. One abiding memory of that period for me is the spirited communal rendition of 'Im Tashib' at the Kiddush in the 'Mangamad' following the eredienst.Please like and share.For an m...

Dear group! Me again. ;) I make this a separate post,since I want to share several photos, close ups of a familyportrait. I firstly assumed that this could very well be my fourth great grandmother born in 1768,Rebecca Ribca de Moses Tolano, but on second thoughts when studying the whole figure ,the style of her clothes come across as from an earlier time. So she could very well be her mother, Sar...

Nn Fernandes born circa 1635 married to Leonora Gutierrez born circa 1670 in Spain2. David Cohen Nassy born 1612 married to Ribca Drago3. Rehuel Abraham Cohen-Lobatto born circa 1616 married to Rachel de Costa Cortissos 4. Nn D'Anavia born circa...

BACK TO SCHOOLTomorrow, 24th of November, I will be here, Ets Haim, for the symposium Tradition and Modernity in Ets Haim. I am proud to say that at least five members of this group will be present at this unique occasion! The image - by Romeyn de Hooghe, 1675, shows the freshly built synagogue surrounded by lower buildings. The latter ones harboured the schools. To the left under the tree we see ...
For anybody in the Los Angeles area a Ladino music concert
An article in Spanish from diariojudio.com (Mexico), dated on July 2016, about the Portuguese (and German and Ashkenazi) Jewish cemetery of Altona, Hamburg, Germany, and the Portuguese community of this town: http://diariojudio.com/opinion/el-cementerio-portugues-de-hamburgo/202469/ . I found it in the blog in Spanish of Geneanet about "Actualidades genealógicas", http://es.geneanet.org/bloges/pos...
A question, for which I hope this group may supply me with an answer. In my research into the Lopes family of Braganza, Bordeaux and then Amsterdam/The Hague and London I came across one line with a peculiar surname, Berachel or Berahel. It is an exceedingly rare surname, all Berachels I could find in the records of the Amsterdam and London Sephardic congregations are related. As you may know, tha...
Thanks for having me!
This was on Portuguese TV last week, about the Inquisition in Evora. They have surviving artefacts that I haven’t seen elsewhere.
Does the Esnoga in Amsterdam sell copies of the siddur?
Since I am researching on the legal (moral) discourse [if such a thing existed] of the 17th century Portuguese Hakhamim of Ess Hayyim, on the African slave trade, I would like to share this excerpt: The substance of this law is that we use Canaanite servants (slaves), and that we do not grant them freedom, unless his master damages one of his/her teeth, eye, or another similar body part, then he i...
Not directly relevant for this group. There is an exhibition in the Rijksmusemwith paintings by Frans Post. The paintings all date from the Dutch colonial period in Brasil (1630-1654. This is also the period that a large group of Jews - Sephardim for the most part, but also a few Ashkenazim - settled and prospered in the Northeast of Brasil. Frans Post was there with Johan Maurits van Nassau-Siege...

היי לכולם,כשכתבתי את הפוסט הזה על סטלה קורקוס, היה לי ממש מוזר לגלות כמה היא הייתה דמות ידועה במרוקו - ולא רק במוגדור שם גרה - אבל בישראל השם שלה בכלל לא נגיש ונפוץ.האם מישהו מכיר אותה?
How many published and reliable genealogies of Sephardic families are there, out there? I can think of De Rode Draad, een famileigeschiedenis 1492-1945, by J.J. Vaz Dias. Another reliable geneaology is the one by Tom Verwaijen: Abarbanel de Souza. Here is the link:
The other day I posted a link to an 1906 Opus on the Spanish Inquisition which you can download freel. Today I came across a book which the writer Henry Charles Lea praised about the Portuguese Inquisition written some years earlier by a Portuguese Historian and translated into English in 1926 here is a translationHistory of the origin and establishment of the Inquisition in Portugal
