Thank you for a wonderful video. I am a descendant of Portuguese anusim who grew up in Hawaii. My greatgrandmother used to light candles on Friday and hide them in the china cabinet. That memory led me to study about my family, the Oliviera and the DaCosta Lindo families. 15 yrs ago I went through beit din, hatafat dam brit and mikvah and converted Reform. My rabbi, who is half Persian, has been very supportive. I am so glad that you are helping other b'nei anusim find their way back home.
