Rabbi Shalom Sharabi (rashash)-Judaica fine art Jewish oil Painting Reproduction
Only descendants of Jews from the Iberian Peninsula are Sephardim, not all those of the lands in which they settled. The Jews from Syria, Iraq. Persia, Yemen ... are properly referred to as Eydot Hamizrach, communities of the East. Sephardi is a term also used to distinguish between the two major divisions (actually the differences are quite minor) in Jewish customs and rituals. Two thousand years ago there were two major traditions, that of the Holy Land, known as Yerushalmi, and that of the Babylonian exile, known as the Bavli. Again, the differences were actually little more than skin deep. There was a slight difference in pronunciation and in customs and catillation. To many Ashkenazim, especially outside of Israel, there are two types of Jews - Ashkenazim and Sephardim. To the average Ashkenazi, being called an Ashkenazi, and not a Litvak or Galicianer, or what not, probably doesn't make a difference. However, to a "Sephardi", there is a difference based on countries of origin. Many Sephardim consider only those who come from Spain to be a Sephardi, i.e. Jews of Turkey, Bulgaria, Amsterdam etc. This to differentiate from a North African, Mizrachi (which includes many Asian countries - Syria, Baghdad, Iraq, Persia, etc. ), Yemenite and Adanite, to name a few. (Try telling the difference between Yemenite Adanite pronunciation of prayers. I know I can't. Then try calling an Adanite a Yemenite and you could be in serious trouble.) Obviously, for the most part, calling a Bavli (Iraqi), or a Parsi (Iranian) a Sephardi won't upset them. Even the Shas party is called the "Sephardi" party. But, I don't think the average non "Sephardi", i.e. Mizrachi, would call himself a Sephardi, rather he would be more particular in his ancestral roots. There are many Jews (or were!) in Syria, Baghdad and India whose roots are traced to Spain and the Expulsion. Many Iraqi Jews went to Bombay and other Indian cities (as did a smaller number of Persian Jews, who throughout history also settled in Baghdad and other cities.) And an entire community of Iraqi Jews settled in Teheran in the 1950s (while others went to New York or to Israel), leading an existence alongside the Persian Mizrahi Jews. It took several decades before the two groups began intermarrying on an extended basis. The entire area has seen individuals and families moving back and forth. About 100 years ago, a rather large number of Persian families moved to Baghdad and to Damascus as well, among them rabbis from Isfahan. This was taken from a posting between Nachum Tuchman of Israel and Schelly Talalay Dardashti Mount Sinai Alliance - Rabbi Abraham Tobal stated in a recent talk that "Assimilation threatens the future of Sephardi Jewish communities in Latin America." Of Latin America's 450,000 Jews, about 180,000 are Sephardi, with ancestors from Spain and Portugal who later settled in Syria, North Africa and the Balkans. About 20 percent of the world's Jews are Sephardi; the rest are Ashkenazi with ancestors from Germany and Eastern Europe. The two groups have different liturgy, religious customs and Hebrew pronunciations. Of interest to all, is the fact that three hundred and fifty years ago, 23 Sefardic Jews landed in the harbor of New Amsterdam (New York) Several of the men in the group were certified shohets and slaughtered their meat themselves. "The massacres and forced conversions of at least tens of thousands of Jews of Spain in 1391, starting in Seville and sweeping across Spain, did not mark the last years for Jews in Spain. The process of Christian victimization of the Jews of Spain had started long before, and continued also for the next century. The year 1391 was a watershed event because it split Spanish Jewry into two communities that evolved quite differently. The many thousands who were forcibly converted to Christianity in 1391, and their descendants, were known as New Christians, or as Conversos. Many, many of them practiced Judaism secretly, or at least continued various Judaic practices. Very often, they were related by blood and marriage to families who survived the horrors of 1391, rejected attempts at conversion, and remained Jewish afterwards. Also, conversionary pressures, which had persisted for centuries, intensified in the early 1400's and many thousands of Spanish Jews joined the New Christians of 1391. There was no Inquisition in Spain until 1480's. As a result, it was possible for many New Christians or "Anusim" (forced ones) to outwardly appear as Christians and yet inwardly retains aspects of their Judaism, their firm belief in one G_d, and the observance of Jewish religious practices. At the same time, while the Christian rulers of the Spanish kingdoms of Aragon and Castille, and the Church, continue to victimize the Jews and subject them to oppressive restrictions and confiscatory taxes, New Christians or Conversos were permitted to prosper. In time, there was much jealousy among Old Christians and the Conversos became targets of violence - just as Jews had been earlier. In January 1492, the Christian monarchs Ferdinand of Aragon and his wife Isabella of Castille conquered Granada, the last Moorish outpost in Spain. Seeing Spain unified as a Christian kingdom, Ferdinand and, Isabella, at prompting of the Church (through its holy office of the Inquisition and its grand inquisitor Torquemada), issued a declaration expelling all Jews from Spain (except for Navarre, which they did not control, and from which the Jews were expelled in 1498 at their urging). The purported purpose of the Expulsion was to extinguish the contacts between Conversos and Jews that supposedly had prevented many Conversos from becoming faithful Christians. In the aftermath of the expulsion of the Spanish Jews in 1492, the Inquisition continued to function with exceptional savagery as it claimed to look for Jewish practices among the Conversos. Much of this same history was later repeated in Portugal, where the Jews were forcibly converted en masse in around 1497, and then subjected to the Inquisition that was adopted about 40 years later. As has been noted, many name changes occurred. In time, many of the Conversos of Portugal left for other places and openly declared their Judaism. Along with them they brought their Spanish and Portuguese surnames. I might guess, for example, that my great-great-grandmother, Catherine Hererra (who lived in Antalya, Turkey around the early 1800s) came from one of those families of Spanish Conversos. I hope that this provides some light as to the mystery of the Jewish roots for many who live in Spain (and Portugal too). There is some much valuable literature on this subject. If you would like a few good references, please let us know. From a posting by Leon Taranto, LBTEPT@aol.com
Found!
An interesting web site for Sephardic women and especially for
those whose roots are from Egypt.
"And Everything Began At Urla (Turkey); The Chronicle of The Varon Family" ("Y Todo Commenzo En Urla; Cronica de la Familia Varon") authored by Frid Mayo, Nissim. The book includes documents, genealogical tree beginning from 1859 and is a part of the Library of Congress collection. "Bibliography About Sephardi Families History and Genealogy in Two Major Libraries of Jerusalem" is an article by Mathilde Tagger and published in the Winter issue of ETSI (Sephardi Genealogical and Historical Review of 1999 http://www.geocities.com/EnchantedForest/1321/ "The Cross and the Pear Tree" - authored by Victor Perera who has written several books about his ancestors' global wanderings from medieval Spain throughout several countries in Europe to Jerusalem. Buy from my link to Amazon.com "Dicionário Sefardi de Sobrenomes" (Dictionary of Sephardic surnames) - in English and Portuguese - authored by Guilherme Faiguenboim, Paulo Valadares and Anna Rosa Campagnano - published by Fraiha Publishing House, Sao Paulo, Brazil, 528 pp, about $47. "This superb bilingual addition to the select library of essential books for Sephardic Genealogy has 528 pages divided into several sections. The first section, dealing with a brief Sephardic history and explanations of Sephardic onomastics is printed on 150 pages of glossy paper, beautifully illustrated and reminiscent of an "art book". The right hand page is in Portuguese and the left hand in English, which - though translated by someone for whom English is obviously not a first language - is quite enjoyable and informative. The remainder of the book, printed in non-glossy paper, consists of the dictionary of 17,000 Sephardic surnames. For this, the authors modeled themselves on Beider's Surnames of the Russian Empire, albeit with a few modifications necessitated by dealing with surnames written in a variety of alphabets and languages (instead of just Cyrillic), and covering a period of 6 centuries and 335 sources instead of the much narrower period and sources used by Beider. The dictionary section presents the surname, some spelling variants, geographical locations, type (patronymic, descriptive, etc.), meaning of, and sources where found. The dictionary does not include the rich individual biographic data and name variants occasioned by country and language changes due to the mobility of Sephardic Jews over the centuries as found in Abraham Laredo's landmark "Les Noms the Juifs du Maroc". That would have required several volumes instead of one. On the other hand, Faiguenboim's book includes a much larger number of surnames difficult to find elsewhere and is a remarkable achievement for which we owe the authors a debt of gratitude. I would highly recommend this book as essential in any serious library of Sephardic genealogy books." From a posting by Jeff Malka on JewishGen 1/24/04 "En Tierras Ajenas Yo Me

ANUSIM list
For those who know/think/suspect or are just interested in whether they have Jewish ancestors that were forced to convert under duress and kept Jewish practices to any extent. Another interesting site to visit is The Sephardim often used different family names for different children - whether to confuse the Inquisition or just to confuse us. So 3 sons of the same parents might have used different family names - maybe they all shared an alias and maybe not. There is a list for people who think, know, suspect or are interested in the descendants of the
Spanish and Portuguese Jews who were forced to convert in order to stay in the
Iberian Peninsula. They have been called various names like Marranos, Conversos, Crypto-Jews, etc. The list is called
Anusim, which is Hebrew for 'the forced' (i.e. forced to convert). To subscribe to the

There is/was a Sephardic community in
Iran. They came via the Syria/Palestine of the
Ottoman Empire, probably for commercial purposes. They generally did not inter-marry with native
Persian Jews, although since there existed a very rich and very notable Jewish upper class of merchants, it could have been possible for economic and status reasons. The Sephardi Jews of Iran often have some very prominent genetic problems due to mixing within a limited population, both on the physical and molecular levels. Native
Iranian Jews, having lived in this place for over 2,000 years tend to consider themselves very
Persian ethnically and traditionally. From a posting by Menna Jewish Agency for Israel TOP TEN; Britannica 2 STARS

plenty of information here that deals with Sephardic subjects including Crypto-Jews Nusach Sepharad amongst the Chassidim "I believe that to really understand the divergence of the prayer style amongst the two communities, one must take a long look at the Jewish History of the 17th century and specifically at the absolute and utter destitution to which Polish Jewry was reduced by the ravages and rapine of Chelmnitsky, his Cossacks and his Tartar allies. Those Jews who managed to remain alive were bereft of everything, communal institutions, synagogues, Torah scrolls, prayer books, etc. They barely had the clothes to cover their backs. It is said that the Jews preferred to surrender to the Tartars and be sold into slavery in the Ottoman Empire than be slaughtered by the Cossacks. We could well compare this terrible period in Jewish History as a preview to the Holocaust." "When it was all over, the Baal Shem Tov appeared on the scene with some like-minded rabbis and not having the means material and physical to restore a normal Jewish routine of prayer to the demoralized people, they evolved the system we call Chassidut by which they brought their people back to the Almighty through song and dance." "One should remember that Lithuanian Jewry, although they had suffered in this period, their suffering was not nearly as great and they managed to preserve their communal institutions. However their situation was such that they could not help their southern neighbors. Polish Jewry was dependent on the help of other branches of the Jewish people, presumably those to the south in places like Bulgaria and Greece including the great community of Salonika. They received from there the prayer books which were all written in Nusach Sepharad. One must also remember that the Great Jewish Printing houses of the time were in Italy and Holland again areas of Sephardi influence. Lithuania got its first printing house at the end of the 18th century. So what started off as a necessity, turned into an ideology in the course of time". "It was not the mode of prayer that bothered the Litvaks so much as the institution of hereditary Courts amongst the Chassidim which often, in the early days, brought incompetent and superstitious leaders to the forefront, instead of men of learning. The books of Balshevis Singer demonstrate this world in a most graphic way." As for Nusach Ari, my guess would be that the Lubavitcher chose this as a middle road between their Chassidut and their Litvak heritage, but I am only guessing."

Offers a Sephardim Message Archives Sefard Cemeteries in the US There are Sefardic cemeteries right in the heart of New York City. There is one in the West Village, very near the Jefferson Market library and dates from about 1868. It is Portuguese Sephardic. Washington Square, only a short distance away, was a country area of town houses and mansions. There is another tiny cemetery near Chinatown and Chatham Square. According to an e-mail from Toni L. Kamins of New York, he stated that Chatham Square is in today's Chinatown. The Sephardic cemetery on Chatham Square was the cemetery of New York/New Amsterdam's first Jewish community in the 17th century. "Manhattan has three cemeteries that were founded by the Sephardic Community; the first on Chatham Square, the second on W. 11th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, and the third on 21st Street between Sixth and Seventh Avenues. The fourth is in Queens." Sephardic Cemeteries Worldwide Israel Sephardi Federation of Latin American (aka FeSeLa).
