Episode description
In this week’s episode of Heritage Hunters we will go deeper into the history of Crypto-Jews or descendants of the Spanish-Portuguese Jews in the Americas known as the Anusim. This often maligned group, who are no longer called marranos, keep popping up in popular culture and every now and then in major Jewish publications. However, just because it is an interesting topic that does not mean that anyone really cares about these individuals. The reason that I sound cynical is because most CryptoJews are either in a “no man’s land” of sorts or are part of the many evangelical churches which are only interested in some kind of Israelism. Few people seem to care about CryptoJewish survival or are interested in developing programs for their return to mainstream Judaism which is crucial for the normalization of their experience. Please join me on this journey through the world of CryptoJudaism as we explore their experience from my point of view, as someone in the trenches of the battle for Jewish survival in our modern world. We also share a brief history of the Jews in Mexico, Discuss Latino Jewish Surname, The truth about Pope Alexander VI being a “Marrano” Jew and the use of Santeria Among Conversos.
