My county mention???

I'm portuguese. Thank you for this little kown piece of our shared History which had some pretty dark aspects to which we're now coming to terms with. I hope jews find in Portugal now a sanctuary from persecution and feel safe living here.

What a beautiful exposición.

Interesting topic. Pity the speaker accent is incomprehensible.

Potentially interesting talk. Unfortunately the accent is too heavy to hear clearly and understand, I stopped at 30:14. Pity

Stop feeling guilty for being part of the chosen people This is what Elohim said himself

Not true Israel is the firstborn of the nation, the only people Elohim has chosen for himself Thats why we were persecuted and envied by all the nations until today. So simple 😮

There is still today a Jewish cemetery in Terceira island ,Azores,called Campo de Igualdade.1832 at the foot of Monte Brasil (Caminho Novo)in Angra do Heroísmo.

I began my ancestral research journey a couple of years ago. I started to believe that we had Jewish ancestors. No one in my family believed me! Now I can send them this video so they can finally start to believe it. My family was from Sao Miguel (maternal side) and Faial (paternal side). So cool, thank you for your research!

The inquisition of the catholic church did not affect only jews: it was a cancer in portuguese society which decimated creativity and initiative at a time when it was most needed. Portuguese jews were the perfect people to help with the business which resuted from the new commercial routes being set up. In fact, many who went to Amsterdam and New Amsterdam (today New York City) greatly helped the Low Countries in becoming a competing centre of commerce in Europe. While Portugal became a catholic zealot country, following the example of Castille.

You should mention the totally indamous killing of Jews in Lisbon in 1513. Lisbon has recently erected a monument referring that infamous event which was a dark day for portuguese history.

When Colombo returned from his first voyage to the America's in 1493, supposedly due to a storm, he and his ship ended up in Lisbon, for repairs, bedore going back to Spain, Hearing about his arrival, Kinh João II, who was resting in a small place north of Lisbon, called Vale Paraíso, sent orders for Colombo do go there and meet him, So Colombo travelled the 50 kms to Vale Paraíso where he stayed with the king for about a week. To this day nobody knows what they discussed. Nowadays the Village of Vale Paraíso has a memorial and an exhibit referring this event.

Cristóvão Colombo used the Portuguese caravels on his voyage to what he thought was the direct route to India going west. At the time no one in medieval Europe knew about the Americas and he ended up somewhere in te Caribbean (Isla Hispaniola, presently the Dominican Republic). He was married to a Portuguese lady, daughter of the Capitão Donatário of Madeira Island and lived with her in the Island of Porto Santo for a few years.

Image at 39:04 the correct name is Pêro da Covilhã, not "Pedro". You should also mention a crucial detail: at the end of the first Vasco da Gama voyage 1497-98, at the end of the certainly troublesome stay in Western India, after fleeing Calicut, Vasco da Gama picked up a Jewish man who was crucial in what happened next. He pointed the Portuguese to Goa, to which they came back to in the next trip. Goa would become the fundamental base for Portuguese activities in all of Asia.

Most Portuguese in Portugal or the Azores have a small admixture of Jewish DNA. I'm certain this is also true for Spain, as it is for most other European nations. The reality is that neither religion, nationality, nor the color of one's skin are what determines our humanity. We were created as one by one maker. All the differences we imagine or think we see are figments of our imagination, illusions. Illusions are the products of our desire to be different and better than our brothers. The desire to be different results in alienation from our maker, who created us in his spiritual image and like himself in all ways. The desire to be separate and different from our maker and our brothers is the cause of all the world's atrocities and turmoil. It includes our mental and physical violence against ourselves and each other. The issue man has always faced is confusing who he is with the needs of the body. He does all he can to satisfy its unending greed, hunger and lust. His real need is and will always be for spiritual connection. A spiritual connection with the divine must be made first. Once we recognize ourselves as one spirit, one mind, the key to re-establishing God's Kingdom on our planet will be found.

The Jews where expelled from everywhere they went because of the kidnapping and practices of sacrifices of children. It's been documented.

I was born and raised in Hawaiʻi, and I am a descendant of Crypto-Jews from Sao Miguel in the Azores and Santana in Madeira. Our main family names are: Oliveira, DaCosta, Lindo, Joseph and Santana. There are many of us who trace our families back to Sephardim in the Azores in Hawaiʻi.

This was great -- very thorough, easy to follow and understand! Thanks!

Congratulations to the speaker. You did an excellent presentation on the history of the Jews in Portugal. I’m an American, who moved to Portugal two years ago, and I’m always interested in learning about its history. Your presentation was as good as anything I’ve ever seen at a University. Fascinating and informative.

Very interesting, especially the ties to the Holy Ghost festivals…

Great Job. I was born in Madeira.

Very educative video! Thank you

Do not use the word Marrano it is sick you are correct... in Spain Crypto Jews were called Portuguese

Why is there a Star of David on the image, the Star of David is not Sephardi it was created in 1790 in Prague. Only when The Visigoths became Roman Catholics. Interesting there is no record of the Visigoths fighting the Arabs meaning there were not as many as we think . 100,000 killed in 1391 rubbish total rubbish Spain did not exist in 1391 it did not exist untill 1714 before Castile Leon etc Ferdinand and Isabella were not the King and Queen of Spain but of Castile and Aragon.. the Alhambra decree says leave Castile and Aragon

Excited to find this, I am looking for international indigenous poets to study in our First Peoples English class. These poem portraits by Natalia Toledo were wonderful! At the very least I will be showing this video to the class.

thank you for the great course. it takes such an insightful look at his life and makes his art work speaks much deeper to me. I appreciate it.

Promo SM 😀

Horrible My dad was one of the detectives

Kathy Boudin's kid Chesa was the Soros funded DA they ran out of SF for being too progressive. Insane.

Nice to hear stories of our ancestors! I’m a descendent of the Vignes. I’ve had so little luck finding information about the lives of these brave people. My late father was a historian and used to teach me about my origins. So many amazing storylines and intersecting destinies. Thank you for your work.

This is fantastic! It is so good to see more Rockland County history, there are always more details and people I never knew about. Can't tell when these stories were filmed, it's confusing! The true hero, Gerry Donnellan, Vietnam Vet, did so much for the Vets here. I met him a few times, and he looked like he does here, but that was back in the 1980s and 90s! Same with Petersen's Boatyard. Right away there's mention of tropical storm Danielle. September 2022 he says, and it checks out, but the boatyard hasn't looked like that in a Century! I grew up in Piermont, where the trains brought the troops from Camp Shanks. So I became a River Rat! My very first on the books Summer job, was at Petersen's Boatyard! I was the Petroleum Transfer Engineer, I manned the gas pumps for the boaters coming in. This was 1974, I think. The boatyard was the same, but very little work and few employees. I don't remember any of those mentioned in the film, just Mr. Carle, who ran the whole place (it was big!) and the mechanic, Rosie. Rosie was Italian, excitable, never stopped talking, hilarious! That fellow was right when he said the yard attracted characters. There must have been other people there, I had to man my post, with a long walk back to any active areas. Loved it there, funny, I did a little research on the place lately. I still have to watch the rest, so I'd better shut up now!

Lookin how things changed over the years is Wild

Love listening to this history of our towns great aty

I watched something years ago that said the Jews fled Yisrael to Madeira, they were the original people of Madeira and that most Maderians are from the tribe of Juda.

Good stuff!

My surname /Arruda is of Sephardic origins. My grandfather was born in 1884 on S. Miguel.

A very most Wonderful article, Thank you, Ben and the New City Library.

This is an amazing story, most interesting. Thanks for sharing this knowledge. Madeira is a beautiful island with much jewish history.

Thanks for sharing! I added most of these to my TBR list through Libby. Looking forward to checking them out in the coming year.

Very nice! I remember when the library was on Maple Ave....where they had a door on the floor that had to be lifted if you wanted to go downstairs.

It cut off? 😢

I just found a copyright 1912 edition of his book about camping and woodcraft and my research led me here......thank you!

Thank you for the information on hoopla references including the sung version. I read it in 'ten poems to change your life' and hit a spot on this one.

Chesa Boudin---former DA of San Fransisco---is the son of David Gilbert and Kathy Boudin. (He was an infant during this robbery, and was raised by two former, unapologetic, socialist Weather Underground leaders, Bill Ayers and Bernadine Doran.) With his parent's deadly criminal, history, what a shocking surprise that Chesa wanted to---and did-- lighten punishments for serious criminals!!!

Thank you for mentioning his connection with Yayoi Kusama, which she writes was quite passionate yet platonic in her book (mutual nude portraits, etc.). You say that her and Yoko Ono were part of the Nexus art movement. Shouldn't that be Fluxus?

Thank you so much for sharing! ❤

Dear Ms. Reynolds, I must apologize for the intemperate comments of Mr. Coriolanus, aka Jeff Meade, below. His purpose is to prevent civil discussion. As I hope I already said, your statement of openness to the authorship question is welcome by those of us who have studied the case carefully enough to fully understand the desperately precarious edifice that passes for Shakespeare biography in the circles that Mr. Meade frequents. In my opinion, the content of your video did not do justice to your avowed open-mindedness, for much of what you state as fact is in doubt, or its relevance to the question doubted (by many informed persons and in some cases for more than a hundred years). The authorship question is not something peripheral to study of the plays and their best understanding, as the Oxfordians have abundantly demonstrated in books like those by Mark K. Anderson and Bill Farina, to name only two. Perhaps if you widen your reading a bit to include books like that, rather than just following on faith what your local Shakespeare Prof says is gospel, you might come to see why the great French literary critic Abel Lefranc declared himself, many decades ago, on of those of "free mind" in the case who already understood that the "orthodox doctrines" could never be sustained indefinitely, but must someday fall under the weight of their own historic record of evasion and bath faith argument (of the sort engaged in here by Mr. Meade who has in the space of under a weak called me "senile" and "a fraud"). As I told him below, these statements are both malicious and negligent.

my teacher making me read this 4 times and one for homework that makes 5 times

The family name was SHAKSPER. John never spelled his name Shakespeare His son was born William Shaksper The Works were published under the name Shakespeare and even Shake-speare.

Alberto Rios is full of the magical realism that Marquez narrated in lyrical prose. Thanks to all the poets here, there, and nowhere. You are the architects of a secret kingdom.
