Rediscovering Sepharad, A Journey Through Jewish Spain

[@SendyBenAmi]

I love these stories and would like to see more with a longer, more in-depth format; if you are able to provide that in the future.

[@bethreuben3408]

Thank you! We are retirees, exploring the possibility of relocating to Spain and are hoping to find a Jewish community to connect with~ we hope, perhaps they can offer advice on where there might be a vibrant Jewish community that might act as a support network!

I was raised catholic but trained as a Jewess. Mother never went to church, always said the life is in the blood do not eat it auntie said so much more. My father's aunt showed me in the very very old house on 4th st in Albuquerque, New Mexico all the Mezuzah's in the wall paper near all the door frames except the bathroom. They had a secret room with all the old saints Ester, Ruth, Moses. Did not mix milk with meat etc... My Grandmother and aunt revealed who we were later my Mother at the end of life. DNA from family revealed It was true the sheep's horn I played with as a child was a shofar we were descened from these Jews and Cohenim. Father's father's side are Kalish/caliz traced them back to turkey ,Poland ,Iran. I received a return certificate but today am Jewish in my soul alone. Raised my children in the ways of my beautiful people.

From a Sephardic Jew, you should know, "Jewess" is an incredibly offensive term used by the Nazis. You're appropriating our culture.

[@OPcAnT1]

@@mlev1111 Can I ask how she's appropriating sephardic culture, when she herself is sephardic? And I'm unaware about the word jewess and whether it is derogatory, but you can't expect everybody to be aware of that

[@anaibarangan4908]

Such an interesting topic, in every country where have existed and today exist in the world. In Spain it has been a matter of how much melded into the melting pot of Spain. Through conversions to Catholicism is how the melds took place, including the moorish, and then everyone just married to each other. That's why it can be confusing because can have some ancestral last names that can indicate Sephardic or Sephardic last names similar to Arabic language, or that are Arabic, because sure political marriages also took place during The Al Andalus. Sephardic got along very well with the Muslims in Spain during The Al Andalus.

It is there a second part of this story?....The video was cut when the historian was about to explain about what was before 70 towers built in certain location. (The video stopped just when he was about to talk about the area.)

[@MercedesCruz-qe1nj]

My maternal grandfather was a zephardic jew from Malaga. He died when my mother was still a child, so I did not have the privilege of knowing him. Besides what I learned from my mother, I'd like to know more about this beautiful culture. .

I have Sephardic jewish ancestry/ mothers side. However, I am a Traditional Catholic. 🌹

[@anitakammerer8526]

So what's the point in watching this???? I WAS Catholic, became even a follower of Christ & the born-again Christians, NOW I follow the the true & only God of the Torah, who revealed me my jewish roots. Jesus or Yeshua in Hebrew never meant to establish a new religion like Christians or Protestants, whatever. There's only one God & one faith in the Old & in the New Testament: Judaism.

[@TM-100]

Maybe explore your Jewish roots more. You don't know what you're missing. Tovia Singer is an exceptional person who may surprise you. Shame to not know anything😢

[@OPcAnT1]

​@@anitakammerer8526Wrong, Jews reject the new testament so why are you using it to prove your point? Firstly Christianity preaches that theres only one God, secondly the new testament preaches that Jesus is God which goes against judaism..

It's really sad to see that the house belonged to Jews who converted to Christianity. In the 21st century, there are still many people in Spain who hold strong anti-Semitic views. I've often told my friends that prejudice can be passed down through generations almost like they program into their DNA, and it's not just limited to one group; it can apply to people all over Europe.

[@TM-100]

The antisemitism is in plain view with the current disaster in Gaza. Ethnic cleansing of the Jews in Spain is OK for the Spaniards & they think it's ok in Israel, Gaza and West Bank where Jews have lived for millennia. The Muslims can go back to Mecca.

[@juanantoniomarcelinodiaz8272]

In Spain the expulsion of the Sephardim has always been lamented. Jews are not usually talked about, and even less so in a pejorative way. But there will always be those who speak ill of others. Even Ashkenazi Jews used to discriminate against Sephardim in Israel. It is the human condition.

[@galkkeiber8701]

@@juanantoniomarcelinodiaz8272there’s been many conversions of ashkenazim to Sefardic. They’ve stolen all Sefardic culture and has made their religion 1.

[@juanantoniomarcelinodiaz8272]

@@galkkeiber8701 I'm sorry. The Sepharti culture is part of Spanish culture. Without wishing to be mistaken, I believe that the fact that the situation of Hispanics in general has been very weak for a long time may have influenced such a serious event.

[@batminton7467]

good news brother … it’s even better than you portray it here. All were Spanish people even by ethnicity, some stayed jewish(from old times), a lot became christian and later most became muslim. After the many civil wars most reverted back to christianity kicking out every other way of thinking. But they were all Spanish nonetheless. No arab invasions, arabic was just very popular back then just as english is nowadays.
