Thank you for accepting me. I recently found out that my husband is descendant of the Jew Rodrigo Sánchez from Spain who traveled with Colon to the Americas in 1492 and was a Jewish Sephardi from Spain. Rodrigo Sanchez established in Dominican Republic and formed his family, very known descendants are Franciso del Rosario Sanchez. Francisco del Rosario Sánchez (March 9, 1817 – July 4, 1861) was a ...
In honour of Election Night in America: the ballot box of the Portuguese Jewish Community in The Hague. The vote was cast by putting a little ball through the upper middle hole and steering it to "Por" or to "Contra." (From the exhibition "Joods Den Haag" in the The Hague Historical Museum.
J'ai chez moi ce marteau pour casser le pain de sucre, ensuite ce pilon pour bien l'écraser et le rendre en poudre.
A few images I made at the exhibition "Joods Den Haag" "Jewish The Hague" Here we see Joseph de Pinto (1732-1801) and his wife Ester Lopes Suasso (1739-1821). He is a descendant of Manue Alvares Pinto aka Isaac Pinto, she must have been a relative of baron Lopes Suasso, whom we discussed here before. Joseph de Pinto was one of the founders of the society Talmidel Tsadiek in 1787, named after Tsadi...

More news from Ets Haim.
Visited the exhibition "Joods Den Haag" last Friday. The image has Francisco Lopes Suasso, aka Abraham Israel Suasso, baron, banker and backbone of the Jewish community in Amsterdam. He was a man in his own right and very assured of his power, influence and image. He loaned two million guilders to William III stadholder of Holand´s campaign to conquer England in 1688. When asked if he wanted a re...

C'était au cinéma VOX à Rabat en 1952.J'avais 3 ans.
I recently read that only 8% of petitions submitted by Sephardim and their descendants for Portuguese citizenship (as reparation for the 1496 decree of expulsion) were approved. Does anyone know why it is so low? (Facts please; no arbitrary, conspiracy-related allegations of discrimination). Also, does anyone know the percentage of success for petitions submitted in Spain?
Yet another new organisation in the Sephardosphere. This one also plans to build a museum in Jerusalem.
My Paternal ancestors were Spanish Jewish merchants that ended up in Hispanola(Haiti,Dominican Republic). I didn't know til recently that our original surname was Codges. I cannot find this last name anywhere except in one Louisiana census record in 1910. Beyond this I can't find anything. I am thinking that this might be an variation of my original surname. If anyone had any info that would help ...
Shalom and thanks for the add! 🔯

When in Amsterdam on Sunday 13th November, this promises to be interesting: free guided tour through the exhibition The Glory of the Jewish Book. I think however, you will have to pay for entrance for the Jewish Historical Museum..
Il est chaud servez-vous et bonne journée!
A friend of mine posted this in another group and I have to share it.**** *** ***"Hi all, I am contacting someone that has been working on a project. He is our DNA cousin Paulino Alaniz. You may have seen his email on Gedmatch. We had a conversation where he is telling me we needed to get many people tested from North México and other areas. As we all know we don't have a marker for Sephardi, none...
