@@UNPACKED how about do some less ignorant information. Brazil is a former portuguese colony not a Spanish one like this video points out on its ignorance. Spain and Portugal have very semiliar history but please tell the real facts, not like this video is pointing out Portugal is the same as Spain.
I think that you guys need to dig a bit deeper to get to the truth. Here's a couple of books on the subject "The history of the Spanish inquisition" By [ limborch van ] circa 16th century. "An accurate description of Africa" By [ John ogilby ] 17th century. The truth is stranger than fiction! Enjoy.
My heart is so sore for the Jews who was persecuted from the beginning, just because the believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob... Blessed are those who bless the Jews.
Exactly. Sure, let’s just ignore the most populous country in latin america that speaks Portuguese and was an epicenter of sephardic jewish migration. Literally the first and oldest synagogue in the Americas was built in Recife.
Because this is about Spain not Portugal and since Ocasio Cortez is Puerto Rican not Brazilian that is why the conversation is about what she shared and then the history of what happened in Spain, Portugal's was a few years later.
@@michelleg7yea but the title of the video is about Latin America, she could have just titled it Hispanic America if she wasn’t going to mention Brazil
Hello, I'm a Crypto Jew and I've known this for most of my life, but only recently have returned to the original faith of my ancestors. I'm learning Hebrew, going to Synagogue on Sabbaths and making new friendships amongst my Jewish community. I have been embraced by the Jewish Community as a lost family member and probably for the first time in my life, I'm at ease with who I am: a survivor. Most of my Jewish peers are White Ashkenazie, whereas I'm definitely tanned. When I'm asked what my ethnicity is, I tell them my family has a persistent, 5,000 year old desert tan. This always elicits a chuckle and many times, a hug from the older ladies. Almost as if I'm a living connection to an almost forgotten past.
"I was somewhat surprised to see that the museum didn’t tell the whole story of Jewish history in Jamaica. The role of Jews in plantation slavery is not documented at all. This silence is troubling, especially since so many students visit the museum each year. They end up getting a rather distorted account of Jamaican, not just Jewish, history."

They relocated from Spain to all over the Spanish empire, Europe and Africa during the infamous Spanish Inquisition. However, this exodus has never been properly tracked because traces of them can be found in Britain, particularly Scotland. The Strasbourg Cathedral might be one of the evidence but it's technically inconclusive.
Wrong. The true Isr ael people were already in Europe, they were merely the Celtic and Germanic tribes. Modern "s w e J" admit in their own literature they come from Jacobs brother instead
No. These are not sefardic. Sefardic means Spain. In Bombay India is one of the tribes of Yisrael. Afghanistan has about 5 tribes like, Ephraim, Rubani, Shimwari (Shimon) ect. They aren't from the house of Judah but of the Nortern kingdom Yisrael.
@@meshzzizk . My family are the Ezra Jews sent to Spain and Tununsia. That was in the time when Beth Yahudah came from Babylon. Torah names family line by father not by mother as in Talmud. Taud never supperseads Torah or Tanakh. So, it doesn't matter of what you read on line. We are living proof of real Kohanim. Not Ashkenazi. Yemenite Jesus also are Kohanim and they went to Ethiopia. So you may speak of books you read. We speak of our heritage and family tree.
In the diaspora Sepherdic 1st went to Turkey, and went into many parts of the world, doesn't matter where they go in the world. Just shows the origin is iberia. The land of Eber ,the 1st REAL Hebrew. Israelites have been going there even before Solomon time. Just like part of the tribe of Dan lived in Crete during the slavery in Egypt in slavery. Jonah was going to Spain before getting thrown off the boat. Yemeni Jews owned ALL of Yemen. So, doesn't matter where they live. It's still Mishpocha. And unless DNA is done by Israel, it's not proof. Israel is number one in DNA. Family tree is bull!! We even have Sephardic in Russia (Bucharians). Jews are great in assimilation. So, yes. If your family is Anusim, they should have some of the old customs. Or genealogy. (Male). We even have Chinese Jews and Japan Shinto. Doesn't mean everyone is Jewish.
@@dmm6341 Claiming you are jewish in NY is pandering.

@@eric777100763 whether im "Jewish" or not I dont care, it makes for an interesting story. My DNA is apart of the avotaynu Jewish DNA academic case study that tracks the history of the Jewish people and is researched by geneticists from Colombia university and the university of Colorado, to name a few, so I guess you can say my DNA is pretty "Jewish" and significant to the history of its people.
@@ibnyahud Unfortunately the ability to become a Spanish citizen has expired but you can still become a citizen of Portugal, they have no expiration date. In order to do so, you would need to be able to prove that your ancestors were expelled and were Jewish, and one way to do so is by building a family tree. There are also a few other ways, but the family tree is how im going to do it.
Tankguy1981 hola, I have been trying to find my roots for about 4 years now, what I found was very minuscule, three out of the four surnames close to me are from Spain proper, however, when I investigated my surname Ortega online (since there are no records on either side of my family I have been using online resources) I found many sites and read many articles saying my surname is Jewish, I even went to the Spanish requirements to get a passport for a Jewish descendant, my last name is on that list too, I recently also read a blog that described how some of the arriving sephardic Jews looked like and I have those physical characteristics, I read an anthropological study on the physical characteristics of European Jews and this reconfirmed that I have many physical features which resemble a European Jew, however, although I have suspicions and some evidence I can't conclusively confirm these suspicions, even with my evidence. If it isn't too much trouble, would you be willing to give me some pointers as to how I can get more information about this? Thank you for your time -Jose Ortega

Both my parents are Christians, but both always knew that they are Jewish. I'm from Austin Texas, but my parents are from Mexico. We still have and kept many Sefardi traditions such as, having a regular Spanish name and a Hebrew name, the mother is more important than the father, but the mother becomes part of the fathers clan, we still eat flower masa tortillas, cabrito, marriage is done in the evening, and cabrito is a must for the wedding feast. My parents and later generations, Crypto Jews only married Crypto Jews, marriage with " moriscos " , was not allowed. Other Christians referred to us as Ladino, I'm proud to be Ladino, my Jewish ancestry has always been important to Us, it is what kept us Alive, gave us Hope, we never forgot who we truly were.

My question would be, why they were expelled from all European countries over centuries? And do not attack me with crazy answers and blame, just answer why!?
This is the one Unpacked video that is misleading. As a born and raised Latin American myself as well as a rabbi (HUC, 1994) and native Spanish speaker, Sephardic Jewish ancestry is NOT in last names. Not everybody named with the most common Spanish last names descends from Conversos, Anusim or Crypto Jews.
Great video. I know more and more Latin Americans who have discovered their Jewish ancestry are making trips to Israel. When I was in Jerusalem, I was surprised to hear so much Spanish being spoken.
Hoàng Nguyên That’s my real name. I’m not Hispanic or Latin American at all, my dad’s family is Jewish from Russia and Romania. I just speak Spanish lol but I’m not Latino
While what you are saying about non-Jewish Latin Americans with suspected Jewish heritage embracing Jewish roots, in some cases converting to Judaism or just visiting Israel to explore their Jewish heritage there are othger reasons you may have heard a lot of Spanish in Israel. Fiorst, lots of Spanish and Latin American tourists visit Israel just to be tourists or to go on Christian pilgrimages without necessarily trying to explore any Jewish background that they believe they may have, and second, besides all the people who believe they have (and in many cases, actually do have) Jewish roots from the conversos/Marranno.crypto-Jews who fled Spain for the New World there are still also lots of Jewish Latin Americans (Ashkenazim and Sefaradim alike) who aren't descended from those 15th century Sephardic Jews who were forced to convert to Christianity. In the late 19th through the mid-20th century, many Jews immigrated to Latin America, especially Argentina and Mexico, from Poland, Ukraine and Romania, part of the same Eastern European Ashkenazic Jewish migration fleeing the pogroms who went to the USA wound up in Argentina. Many chose Argentina because the Hirsch family of French Jewish philanthropists purchased agricultural land in Argentina to establish Jewish farming settlements, later many of those Jews wound up in Buenos Aires. LAter many Turkish and Syrian Sephardic Jews also went to Argentina. Similarly Mexico was a destination for many Eastern European Ashkenazic Jews and Turkish and Syrian Sephardim. The current mayor of Mexico City, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo is of mixed Ashkenazic and Bulgarian/Turkish Sephardic ancestry her grandparents only immigrated to Mexico in the 1920s. Lots of Moroccan Jews went to Venezuela in the 1960s, many Jews fleeing the Holocaust also wound up in Cuba, Colombia, all sorts of places in Latin America. So, yeah, there is this is thing where people from Latin America learn about their Jewish heritage from before 1492 and some convert to Judaism and move to Israel, but you hearing all those people speaking Spanish in Israel might also be the grandchildren of relatively recent immigrants who only moved to Latin America in the 1920s. Argentina anyway has like the 5th largest Jewish population and many Argentine Jews moved to Israel.
My mother's family changed their surname from Juarez to Jacobs when migrating to French Canada. They (mom family) always said we had native heritage, turns out that was more politically and socially acceptable than being a Jew in New France. Took a DNA (AncestryDNA) test to check this out and BAM 9% Sephardic Jewish. I have a lot of questions.
Very interesting, thank you for sharing. Concerning New-France, there was few Jews in the early years of the colony, but then only Catholics would be allowed to migrate, in order to prevent Protestants and Calvinists to massively cross the Atlantic!
My mother also had significant Jewish ancestry, only from Sweden. Her ancestors were more or less forced to convert to Lutheranism I converted to Judaism along with my family when I was young. Best decision I ever made.
My family is Acadian mixed with Native ancestry. But when I was researching my ancestry on GED match, these were the results for me: Ancient Eurasia K6 Ancestral North Eurasian: 17.29% Ancestral South Eurasian: 5.78% East Asian: .99% West European Hunter-Gatherer: 41.24% Natufian: 34.7% Sub-Saharan: 0% ---- 64.7% Morocco_Jews 35.3% French Basque. Genetic Distance: 0.64 So it certainly seems like my family is majority crypto/converso Jews.
I’m so upset that I didn’t get to take advantage of Spain’s offer of citizenship. My family are Jewish conversos, my father even knows the surnames of the Jewish men who migrated to Puerto Rico and became part of our family.
@The Laugh Box you don't need to convert to become an Israeli citizen. There are 1 million Christian Israelis, 1 million Muslim Israelis and 6 million Jewish Israelis all with equal education, healthcare, religious freedom and representation in government. You must make Aliyah which take 3 years to become a citizen of Israel.
Vidal : Shalom! It's never too late to reconnect with your Jewish roots dear! Did you know Vidal is a Spanish Sefardi Jewish name? Many great Sefardi rabbis hold this last name!
Vidal : Do not listen to @The Laugh Box!! Of course you must convert! Even if you are of Israelite blood ! But Jewish Law, recognize if you are a Jew only by having a Jewish mother! If not, you must convert, be circumcised, eating casher, learn how to read basic Hebrew prayers! You must know some very important Hebrew prayers! And of course make a Jewish family! If you're not born as Jewish person and recognized as one by Rabbanim, you must convert or at least do "a Return to Judaism" as a proof for Rabbanim! Puedes hacer lo papi! 👍🏻

I like the video. I think you might have considered mentioning the Moriscos (Islamic Moors forced to convert in Spain/Portugal) who shared a very similar background, including expulsion from Spain and diaspora around the world. The numbers are fewer because the Moriscos had a homeland to return to at the time (North Africa) but many followed the same routes as the Sephardic Jews (Conversos or ones who fled rather than have any pretense of conversion). I will also comment that the Converso immigration to the New World was also largely via Holland, France (Protestant Huguenot areas) & England that were protestant and offered safe haven. In particular the Dutch were relatively tolerant and had their own colonies in Brazil (before losing to Portugal) and the West Indies. Many also ended up in Virginia and South Carolina colonies via Barbados. Of course this is detailed but some tangential mention of these points would have been nice.
@@jdsheleg8332 They are closely related, genius. They were expelled from Spain at the same time and were often moving in the same currents to the same destinations. Many went to North Africa (original home of the Moriscos). THey had also cooperated during Al Andalus. So a mere mention might have been more complete.
Growing up I always felt something was different about my dad's side (the Farhi) of the family compared to my mother's side (the Calderons) and well the rest of Peru. When I was 11 I was told about our Jewish ancestry and how we must never speak about it. I didn't understand it then but I could sense the fear and seriousness of the secrecy when my father spoke about it, I imagine my grandfather had a similar talk with him when he was a child. I feel lucky I live in the contemporary world where it's safer and I can talk about it. I can't even imagine the hardships my ancestors had to go through hiding their identity.
@Mountaindew Partly you are correct, but now just having an ancestry, some "Jewish" surnames, or little traces of your blood being "Jewish" does not prove anything unless you have something of "weight" to show the rabbinical authorities. If you do not have an execution document of an ancestor of yours being burned at the stake, or some other substantial proof of your ancestors being Jewish, then everything else will be discarded.
My dream is to help Conversos speak up and come back to Israel. I myself did it. I learned that I was Jewish at age 13 when my grandfather, in the mountain town of Utuado, Puerto Rico, told me that I must know that we're Jews and that we come from Jerusalem and that if I forget Jerusalem my tongue would stick to the roof of my mouth. At that time I turned to my mother and I asked her: what are Jews? And she brushed it off and said we're like gypsies but from Jerusalem. My grandparents were cousins on their mother's side and we kept very few traditions, mostly names, and this tradition at 13 years old. They didn't know anything about Judaism as a religion, or Zionism and Jerusalem, yet the spark was there. The difference? I grew up with Internet and I pieced the puzzle together. Including Esther as a common name in my family. Today I'm an Israeli.
@M ACV2 Hola, que interesante. Yo no conozco mucho de genética. Y el judaísmo no se basa en genes sino en ser matrilinealmente judío, el abanico de genes y de características físicas son punto y aparte. Te exhorto a que aprendas más hebreo y más árabe, pues ambos idiomas se complementan entre sí. Los países hacen leyes y cada cual es libre de creer según su capacidad y punto de vista. Pero definitivamente veo que tienes un lazo intuitivo fuerte con tus raíces en el Medio Oriente. Por eso aprovecha y aprende hebreo y árabe, creo que los encontrarás fascinantes.
@M ACV2 aquí tu primera lección de Hebreo, sandía. אבטיח en árabe es البطيخ, en Hebreo se pronuncia Avotíaj, en árabe se pronuncia Al Batij. ¿Ves como se relaciona la raíz BTJ o VTJ en ambos idiomas? Los árabes son famosos por no tener una B o V marcada, lo que heredamos en el español estándar, pero también los árabes pronuncian B como P y P como B. Es de ahí que algunas partes de Andalucía, en toda Venezuela y en el español de nuestros abuelos a la sandía se le conoce como Patiya o Patilla. Sigue la pronunciación Avotiaj, Al Batij, a Patij, a Pati, a Patiya. Y de ahí el nombre del municipio de Patillas. Aja, mira el escudo y la bandera del municipio de Patillas está lleno de hojas de sandía y esa es tu primera palabra de origen árabe, de origen hebreo.

As a Jew, I'm against reparations for injustices that happened 500 years ago. The current Spain isn't responsible for this, and the current Jews didn't suffer from it.
My grandfather was Jewish and his family was from Morocco and were descendants of Conversos during WW2 his family left Morocco due to anti semitism they settled in Dominican Republic which at the time were taking in Jewish refugees my grandfathers family were the only once who went to Dominican Republic from Morocco some left to Israel and Canada my grandparents immediate family remained and build a life in DR he married my grandmother a catholic woman of Taino descent so I did not grow up Jewish.
If you are Puerto Rican male and have a J-haplotype there is a strong chance you have Jewish lineage from Jewish exiles and "Marranos" of the Spanish Inquisition.
No it’s not lmfaooo. J-haplotype developed in West Asia and is prominent throughout Western Asia and some North Africans. Spain was one of the worlds trade centers and hosted people from all over the world and Mediterranean, Puerto Rican males could have gotten that from anywhere.

I'm a sephardic Jew from Chile my great grandfather and my grandfather keep it in secret for years and they studied the kabalah, the torah, the Talmud and Hebrew in secret... Nowadays my grandfather is a writer and he teach all this ancient knowledge that was hiden for hundreds years because of the persecutions. I started studying several years ago with him and the ancient knowledge about the universe and the spiritual world is mind blowing.
But the talmud and the kabbalah are the most evil texts ever written in history - they say some of the vilest things I've ever seen in my life, so much so that I want to go back and unread them. So why study them, and even pride oneself in doing so? These are books written in blood
Not to mention the talmud blasphemes against the Messiah and God, our Lord Jesus Christ. This is really the worst. Irreconcilable. And yet He still has nothing but love for us, so long as we repent. And before anyone says anything, my mum is latin american whom I'm almost certain has sephardic roots.
@@stephenandrewsoutyrine5558 why is the kabalah evil? Is just the knowledge of the universe structures and laws made by God... And also is the decoding of the messages in the torah even Yeshua (Jesus) in his message he talks knowledge that comes from the kabalah he might studied the kabalah too he was jewish and he was a master... My grandfather published an entire book about the kabalistic knowledge in the message of Jesus the book is called "kabalat Yeshua" ... You don't know much about the topic if you think that knowledge is something evil... What you are saying is like the people from the inquisition that had no knowledge about it and they would say is evil... All these knowledge comes from God himself so you are saying that God is evil? Ridiculous... And the Talmud of course it has an exercise that can be mocking our own God but also it has a lot of knowledge in the most respectful way... So I really think that you just watched some ridiculous videos in RU-vid but you never had any real interaction with these matters... Knowledge from God isn't evil... Evil is the people that use that knowledge in evil ways.

DNA testing is great for family relationships and diseases. At this stage DNA testing for ethnic heritage is not very meaningful and controversial, especially if the percentages, such a 5%, are low, and it would be great if the narrator of this video would say so. The only sure way for a non-Jew to confirm Jewish heritage is to show a DNA relationship with Jewish individuals or a paper trail of some sort through genealogical research. Of course, habits like not eating leavened bread at around Easter and marking the Shabbat somehow are positive signs.
Not eating leavened bread is a tradition not a sign. The children of Israel were scattered and assimilated into other countries and lost their heritage.
@@suilsistersunitedinlove7348 only at Pesach do Jews not eat leavened bread. The Matzah came about as the Jews were fleeing Egypt and the unrisen bread dough they carried on their backs baked into the flat Matzah by the sun.
@Michelle If a Jew believes in Jesus they aren't a Jew. All described came out 2000 years before Christianity. The Hebrew Abraham made a covenant with Hashem that all male Jewish babies would be circumcised to differentiate the Hebrews from the idol worshippers. That still goes on today. The Torah, the Bible of the Hebrews was written 5000 years ago in Hebrew a language still spoken today in Israel. The European Christians adopted the Hebrew, now Jewish religion's laws.
@Gisselle ST, if you are replying to me then my point is that 5% does not necessarily mean anything, Jewish ancestry or otherwise. The companies selling these DNA analyses for ethnic heritage are 'over-egging' the pudding, and implying an accuracy and precision that isn't/aren't there. The most reliable method is to follow the paper trail. If you find a halachically Jewish ancestor then yes, you have Jewish heritage. If that is not possible, why bother? Use DNA testing for where it works, which is for family relationships and diseases.
You are totally right! There are only two ways: find it in the documents or do a DNA test that shows you a buch of ethnic jews relatives (the tested one can be you, your mom, grandpa, etc).
I met an Afro-Colombian who told me that her father had always celebrated the Passover behind closed doors & how following the Nubian trail shows that one of the pharaohs has extremely Jewish traits
Because I Count having Semitic traits doesn't make you a Jew. The Hebrews under Abraham 5000 years ago were Semites. When Abraham fathered the Arab race 5000 years ago they were also Semites. The only Hebrews in Egypt were slaves. Study the story of Moses in the Old Testament.
Nubians are not original Jews When Abraham pbuh went to Egypt it was Hyksos(Amorite/Amalekite/imliq) area, not Nubia and Assyrians had already defeated Nubians before the time of Abraham Amorites are the original Hebrews and Akkadians are from Prophet Hud pbuh Israelites settled in the same area as the Hyksos
My story is similar to so many who have left replies. I am two generations removed from the last openly Jew in the family on my mother’s side. Persecution and the need for employment pressured family years before to convert to Catholicism. In time, all my aunts and uncle rejected the church, became atheists or indifferent non believers. Only my mother remained Catholic. DNA revealed I am of Sephardic Jewish blood. Although I was raised Catholic and embrace my faith today, I am proud of my Jewish heritage. I wear the Star of David to honor my Jewish ancestors.

For centuries, other Christian European countries looked down on Spain because they knew a good number of Spaniards descended from Jews. The Germans, the Dutch, the French for example, called the Spaniards with derogatory terms that made reference to their Jewish ancestry.
This video forgot to mention that Spain had been occupied for 400 years prior to the reconquest which led to deep resentment for the native population.
The moors pushed Christian’s to convert or to be taxed heavier. The caliphs used the Jewish tax collectors to watch over their finances while they were invading northward until the Spanish drove them out with the help of the Hessians. The crown still feared the moors taking the lands back thus forcing conversions of Muslims & Jews. But the population had already began intermixing
I remember reading a book about the Portuguese Inquisition in Brazil, Portugal being Spain's older sister, about the Jews being hunted down even overseas. I've met Brazilians online who were partially Jewish. This is fascinating, there are probably so many! Your countries just happen to claim new, uncharted lands as they begin trying to target you? Run to the frontier.
To set things into perspective, all this happened after the reconquest, which was when a bunch of Christian kingdoms expelled Muslim rulers from Spain and Portugal, that were usually more friendly towards Jews and other religious minorities, but as the reconquest happened nearby Muslim rulers in Africa and Christian rulers in France and England sort of asked both sides to deal with the Jews, some of who had even gained political positions like military generals and economic advisers.
Portugal was initially a point of relative refuge for Spanish (or rather, Castilian Jews) who were expelled in 1492. There is a field near Bragança in north east Portugal where many Spanish Jews gathered in terrible conditions before being admitted. It did not last, as under pressure from Spain, the same laws were introduced in Portugal, but many managed to escape, including to Turkey. Some crypto-Jews in Portugal only 'came out' c.1928 in Belmonte (terrible timing given events in Germany). In north-eastern Portugal there is a mainly Jewish village Carção, near Bragança which has a menorah on its coat of arms. There is a local food the 'alheira' (garlic sausage) made with chicken. The crypto-Jews would make sausages ostentatiously but using chicken not pork. By the time the Christians discovered the ruse, things had calmed down and it was adopted into the local cuisine.
Brazil is probably the country in the world with the highest number of Jewish descents, estimated today in 30 million people. In the 18th century, around 3/4 of non-indigenous and non-Africans in Brazil were Jewish. Search for Anita Novinsky books. She was the most notorius expert in Catholic Inquisition and Jewish immigration to Brazil.
Portugal is Spains older sister? Are you insane? Portugal was born from Leon not the other way around. Portugal shares a common history with the rest of Hispania or Spain for thousands of years. They are the same people with slightly different languages but mutually intelligible. But the county of Portugal was born from the Reconquista of the northern Iberian kingdoms of Asturias, Navarra, Aragon, Leon and later Castile. Portugal was just one more Iberian Hispanic kingdom and not Spains elder sister.
This is how they took over so much of the worlds financial systems. They put their money together and finance one of their members to go and mix with a high status member of another country. Then they change names to blend in and soon you can’t tell them apart. They have no loyalty to the countries that they reside because their number one loyalty is to their faith and their people.
My father-in-law is Puerto Rican and for years he was being mocked by his own family members after he claimed he had Jewish ancestry in him. He finally did a DNA test and he was right. Not one of them are running their mouths. One of his own brothers actually said there's no such thing as Jews and living in Puerto Rico. DNA is substantial evidence that doesn't lie. And that is why, unless I missed something, I would like to see AOC's DNA test results that she actually has Jewish ancestry in her.
@@Ty-im1ef It is an ethnic group that repeatedly shows up in DNA tests. Sephardim and Ashkenazim are more closely related to each other than their neighbors in southern or eastern europe.
Problems here...at least at this point, DNA tests can only measure Ashkenazi lines, not Sephardic. That was the whole reason I got my DNA test and was disappointed when 23 and Me said that they couldn't measure that yet. The other issue is about mixing Jewish and Christian traditions...not really possible because Christian traditions WERE Jewish. It's more about getting back to its original roots. Yeshua (Jesus) was Jewish and so were all the disciples and the early church members. It was Constantine in 300 AD who stripped Christianity (or rather Jews who recognized Yeshua as the messiah). They forced early Christians to celebrate Jesus's birthday and resurrection on pagan holidays instead of the original feasts now considered Jewish, but in reality are God's. And in terms of OCD or AOC (whatever her name is), while it's entirely possible, I wouldn't hang my hat on what a politician claims they are while they are trying to win over a group of people.
the majority of spain jews are of Arab ancestors. their faith jewish but arab blood. their haplogroup is E1b1b1 E-M35 its a recorded that jews of yemen left to spain after it became called andalusia and muslim.

Speaking of Investing, forex trading is the best business in the world right now I know a couple of friends that make a lot money weekly trading with the financial markets
I’m Spanish and very familiar with the actual writings of the time, the trigger for the expulsion of Jews was the constant attacks by Jews on catholic processions, for example a young Jewish girl would throw from her window urine and feces from a bucket at a statue of Christ in a procession on the streets and many other instances, the expulsion of Jews happened for a reason, not as they would have you believe, also the law of historical memory to allow Jews back in to Spain based on proof that they have Sephardic ancestry is flawed, the Spanish government n science doesn’t recognize that as valid, there is so much bs in this video, but its so sneaky that most people will think that there is actually a Jewish gene, there is not, I have no idea why they have to create these narratives that are categorically false.
@@dblum My ancestors where Sephardic Jews who settled in Denmark and Sweden as traders. They were converted to Lutheranism sometime in the 19th century. My family converted to Judaism when I was 11 and I later did an Orthodox conversion when I was 20. Studied the Mishnah, learned Hebrew, went to Israel, now I wrap tefillin. Best decision I ever made.
The conversos were called New *Christians, not "New Catholics". And they also comprise the portuguese jews that either converted or practiced crypto judaism in Portugal and the Americas (namely Brasil, from where some of them headed north and participated on the foundation of New Amsterdam - nowadays New York). In fact, Portugal also gives citizenship to the anusim. One of the most recent cases of naturalization via sephardic roots is Roman Abramowitz.
@@mirafarber7295 yes, the russian billionaire. The case caused controversy, because there are claims that his citizenship process was rigged (as in he doesn't really have sephardic ancestry and just bought his certificate). The process of verifying the applicant's genology isn't controlled by the government, it's the entire responsibility of the Israelite Community of Lisbon or Porto. The rabi of Porto was under judicial investigation for possible fraud.
@@VeraDonna Yes, I asked you just out of curiosity, but now after your respond I Googled it and yes he got his citenship, but now rabi of Porta is under investigation since Abramovich allegedly paid them$500, 000 for prove of his Sephardic roots. In any case, I'm afraid, that Abramovick will get away, but rabi could be suited for the fraud. Abramovich already has Israeli sitezenship. He is selling his Chelsea soccer team and donating money to Ukraine, because he has Ukranian an Lithuanian roots as well. Or maybe it's just a way to avoid sanctions.
I am a descendent of the Isleños from the canaries, through a Cajun line. My ancestors were conversos. I want to reconvert to Judaism. I think it’s time
I met a Cohen once at work it was funny he did not know the magnitude of his lineage. But in Jesus there is neither Jew nor Greek we are all the same. God bless 🇺🇸 and 🇮🇱
4:11. In order for foreigners to travel to Israel to obtain Israeli citizenship, as Israeli jews, they must prove their Jewish linage on their *mother's side.* ...because there can always be a question as to who the true father is,, but there is never a question as to who the mother is.
When they show the thumbnail and start the video with AOC. As to show she's the main topic of discussion. Only to never show her again for the rest of the video.🤦 Nice bait n switch clickbait
As a descendant of Luis de Carvajal y de la Cueva an important converso in Mexico would've been a better person to put in there rather than AOC as a personal opinion, also many Latin Americans that are Christians and blend their Judaism usually come from Evangelical Baptist/Pentecostal backgrounds even incorporating many sephardic customs so many Latin American churches don't feel like a normal church in thats presented but a blend of cultures. I also noticed that certain areas throughout Latin America have higher percentages of Jewish heritage than areas quite possibly giving the regions a unique custom from other areas.
I agree. AOC is a bit nauseating and isn't really a good role model for Crypto Jews, us Mexicans or anyone really. Her face on the thumbnail is the main reason why I haven't favorited this video.
I descend from Antonio de Bassan (or aka Antonio Bassano) whom is also a converso that played music for Henry VIII. He is mistaken as Italian (and sometimes even black) when in reality he is Jewish and I have all of the proof in the world to prove it. Many of the Bassanos are buried in the Jewish Cemetery located in Venice, and the only way you can be buried there is if you have a confirmed Jewish lineage.
@@antoniog.7069 well Italian slums did have a lot of Jews in the epoch its a weird I tried to figure out what else he did only thing I saw was the Lanier family which is pretty cool having a complete dynasty of musicians. On the other hand I descend from two people that their lifes are completely wild. As I stated earlier from the man and also a much more recent man called John Horse (Seminole) which could kinda point out where my family is based from if people play close attention to the geography and places that are mentioned. That's cool I don't know if you have musical influence in your family
@@abuhado-verbigraciaramirez8682 Nice, I also come from native Guamare Chichimecas, some of whom have Sephardi ancestry from intermarriage as a result of the Spanish conquest. Additional info: Antonio de Bassan also intermarried with Elena de Nasi of the Benveniste lineage whom is the daughter of Benedetto de Nasi (brother of Joseph Nasi) so Gracia Mendes Nasi is a great aunt of mine as well and from this line comes many davidic rabbis. Antonio de Bassan himself in his 1544 "Sefer ha-Refu'ot" said the Bassanos are also of davidic origin as well, and that the surname "Bassano" comes not from the city of Bassano del Grappa but from the land of Bashan in Israel that Moshe & Israel took from King Og. More additional info on that and other related Bassano info can be found here: shorturl.at/wLNZ0 - shows some of the places they lived, proof that they're Jewish, etc.... I do have a tiny bit of musical influence, I got some guitar covers on my channel of course but at the same time I probably don't possess the same skill level as my ancestors ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Irrelevant to say you are a latin american with jewish ancestry, since 500 years before the inquisition there was thousands of jewish merchants in spain, mixing with the native population. That's why they dont have unique genetic markers like the ashkenazi
Remember. A lot of Jews fled to Latin America during WWII. They went to Dominican Republic with open arms. Trujillo allowed instant citizenship to all Jews from Europe. Around 30,000 of them came from 1940-1945.
@@Zelielz1 Ashkenazi went to Brazil, Argentina and Chile. But before that Sephardic Jews were already established their through the Spanish Empire Colonization. They were here before any other Jew Factions.
@Unpacked Invoking AOC's "Jewry" is a joke. She's not Jewish, not by a longshot. She doesn't practice, is no friend to the Jewish American people, no friend to Israel, and not even a friend to the Jewish constituency in her own district, which is the largest Jewish population in the nation. She's in "The Squad," which is composed of Jew-hating bigots with toxic alliances and want Israel wiped off the map. She is pro-BDS, whose goal is to economically strangle Israel and by its founder's own words, end its existence. She backed out of an appearance at an event sponsored by a Jewish peace group honoring the late Yitzhak Rabin, who was assassinated by an extremist for making peace with a former enemy of Israel. She has ignored and refused to take meetings with high-ranking Jewish community leaders in her own district. She has been conspicuously silent about the recent spike in antiSemitic hate crime in her district of Brooklyn. She is allied with bigoted Jew-hater Linda Sarsour, who calls journalists "the Jewish media," tells her audience "not to humanize the Israeli people," says "you cannot be Zionist and feminist at the same time," ran Israeli and Jewish woman out of the Woman's March, and was kicked out of The March's leadership for her bigotry. That one token appearance by her at the event in this video was nothing more than bare-minimum political pandering. Most Jewish American activists are done with her. For you guys to use her as the preview shot and the opening of this video as an example of Sephardic Judaism is nothing more than lazy and shoddy journalism. Do better.
@@Danimal1577 I didnt know she backed out from honoring ytzhak rabin. seems like she wants to take every chance to protest israel to pander to thepublic she is trying to convince. young american liberals who dont know a thing about israel.
I am puertorican, my mother 's family were zephardic jews. My father a non practicing catholic from catalognian descent. I have found that when I say about me being half Jewish. I'm looked with a smirk. No one believes it. There is so much ignorance about this fact.
