Under Islamic rule, Jews, like Christians, were designated as <a href="/wiki/Dhimmi" title="Dhimmi">dhimmis</a>—protected but second-class monotheists—permitted to practice their religion with relative autonomy in exchange for paying a <a href="/wiki/Jizya" title="Jizya">special tax</a>. To the Jews, <a href="/wiki/Moors" title="Moors">Moors</a> was perceived as, and indeed were, a liberating force. Wherever they went, the Muslims were greeted by Jews eager to aid them in administering the country. In many conquered towns the garrison was left in the hands of the Jews before the Muslims proceeded further north.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] Both Muslim and Christian sources claim that Jews provided valuable aid to the Muslim conquerors.

Although in some towns Jews may have been helpful to Muslim success, because of the small numbers they were of limited impact.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] The <a href="/wiki/Golden_age_of_Jewish_culture_in_Spain" title="Golden age of Jewish culture in Spain">Golden Age of Sephardic Jewry</a> flourished during this period, particularly in cities like Cordoba, Granada and Toledo. Jewish scholars, poets, philosophers and scientists thrived, contributing to the broader intellectual life of Al-Andalus. Jews in Muslim Spain played significant roles in trade, finance, diplomacy, and medicine. In spite of the restrictions placed upon the Jews as dhimmis, life under Muslim rule was one of great opportunity and Jews flourished as they did not under the Christian Visigoths. Many Jews came to Iberia, seen as a land of tolerance and opportunity, from the Christian and Muslim worlds. Following initial Arab victories, and especially with the establishment of <a href="/wiki/Umayyad" class="mw-redirect" title="Umayyad">Umayyad</a> rule by <a href="/wiki/Abd-ar-rahman_I" class="mw-redirect" title="Abd-ar-rahman I">Abd al-Rahman I</a> in 755, the native Jewish community was joined by Jews from the rest of Europe, as well as from Arab lands, from Morocco to <a href="/wiki/Babylon" title="Babylon">Babylon</a>.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] Jewish communities were enriched culturally, intellectually, and religiously by the commingling of these diverse Jewish traditions.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_clarify" title="Wikipedia:Please clarify">further explanation needed</a>] Arabic culture, of course, also made a lasting impact on Sephardic cultural development. General re-evaluation of <a href="/wiki/Scripture" class="mw-redirect" title="Scripture">scripture</a> was prompted by Muslim anti-Jewish <a href="/wiki/Polemics" class="mw-redirect" title="Polemics">polemics</a> and the spread of <a href="/wiki/Rationalism" title="Rationalism">rationalism</a>, as well as the anti-<a href="/wiki/Rabbinic_Judaism" title="Rabbinic Judaism">Rabbanite</a> polemics of <a href="/wiki/Karaite_Judaism" title="Karaite Judaism">Karaites</a>. The cultural and intellectual achievements of the Arabs, and much of the scientific and philosophical speculation of <a href="/wiki/Ancient_Greece" title="Ancient Greece">Ancient Greek culture</a>, which had been best preserved by Arab scholars, was made available to the educated Jew. The meticulous regard the Arabs had for grammar and style also had the effect of stimulating an interest in <a href="/wiki/Philology" title="Philology">philological</a> matters in general among Jews. Arabic became the main language of Sephardic science, philosophy, and everyday business, as had been the case with Babylonian <a href="/wiki/Geonim" title="Geonim">geonim</a>. This thorough adoption of the Arabic language also greatly facilitated the assimilation of Jews into Moorish culture, and Jewish activity in a variety of professions, including medicine, commerce, finance, and agriculture increased. By the ninth century, some members of the Sephardic community felt confident enough to take part in <a href="/wiki/Proselytism" title="Proselytism">proselytizing</a> amongst Christians. This included the heated correspondences sent between <a href="/wiki/Bishop_Bodo" class="mw-redirect" title="Bishop Bodo">Bodo Eleazar</a>, a former Christian <a href="/wiki/Deacon" title="Deacon">deacon</a> who had converted to Judaism in 838, and the Bishop of <a href="/wiki/C%C3%B3rdoba,_Spain" title="Córdoba, Spain">Córdoba</a> <a href="/wiki/%C3%81lvaro_of_C%C3%B3rdoba_(Mozarab)" class="mw-redirect" title="Álvaro of Córdoba (Mozarab)">Paulus Albarus</a>, who had converted from Judaism to Christianity. Each man, using such <a href="/wiki/Epithets" class="mw-redirect" title="Epithets">epithets</a> as "wretched compiler", tried to convince the other to return to his former faith, to no avail.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] The Golden Age is most closely identified with the reign of <a href="/wiki/Abd_al-Rahman_III" title="Abd al-Rahman III">Abd al-Rahman III</a> (882–942), the first independent <a href="/wiki/Caliph_of_Cordoba" class="mw-redirect" title="Caliph of Cordoba">Caliph of Cordoba</a>, and in particular with the career of his Jewish councilor, <a href="/wiki/Hasdai_ibn_Shaprut" title="Hasdai ibn Shaprut">Hasdai ibn Shaprut</a> (882–942). Within this context of cultural <a href="/wiki/Patronage" title="Patronage">patronage</a>, studies in Hebrew, literature, and linguistics flourished. Hasdai benefitted world Jewry not only indirectly by creating a favorable environment for scholarly pursuits within Iberia, but also by using his influence to intervene on behalf of foreign Jews: in his letter to <a href="/wiki/Byzantine_Empire" title="Byzantine Empire">Byzantine</a> <a href="/wiki/Helena_Lekapene" title="Helena Lekapene">Princess Helena</a>, he requested protection for the Jews under Byzantine rule, attesting to the fair treatment of the Christians of al-Andalus, and perhaps indicating that such was contingent on the treatment of Jews abroad. One notable contribution to Christian intellectualism is <a href="/wiki/Ibn_Gabirol" class="mw-redirect" title="Ibn Gabirol">Ibn Gabirol</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Neo-Platonism" class="mw-redirect" title="Neo-Platonism">neo-Platonic</a> Fons Vitae ("The Source of Life;" "Mekor Hayyim"). Thought by many to have been written by a Christian, this work was admired by Christians and studied in monasteries throughout the Middle Ages, though the work of Solomon Munk in the 19th century proved that the author of Fons Vitae was the Jewish ibn Gabirol.<a href="#cite_note-37">[36]</a> In addition to contributions of original work, the Sephardim were active as translators. Mainly in <a href="/wiki/Toledo_School_of_Translators" title="Toledo School of Translators">Toledo</a>, texts were translated between Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, and Latin. In translating the great works of Arabic, Hebrew, and Greek into Latin, Iberian Jews were instrumental in bringing the fields of science and philosophy, which formed much of the basis of <a href="/wiki/Renaissance" title="Renaissance">Renaissance</a> learning, into the rest of Europe. In the early 11th century, centralized authority based at Cordoba broke down following the <a href="/wiki/Berber_people" class="mw-redirect" title="Berber people">Berber</a> invasion and the ousting of the Umayyads. In its stead arose the independent <a href="/wiki/Taifa" title="Taifa">taifa</a> principalities under the rule of local <a href="/wiki/Muwallad" class="mw-redirect" title="Muwallad">Muwallad</a>, Arab, Berber, or <a href="/wiki/Slavic_peoples" class="mw-redirect" title="Slavic peoples">Slavonic</a> leaders. Rather than having a stifling effect, the disintegration of the caliphate expanded the opportunities to Jewish and other professionals. The services of Jewish scientists, doctors, traders, poets, and scholars were generally valued by Christian and Muslim rulers of regional centers, especially as order was restored in recently conquered towns.

These more intolerant sects abhorred the liberality of the Islamic culture of al-Andalus, including the position of authority some dhimmis held over Muslims. When the Almohads gave the Jews a choice of either death or conversion to Islam, many Jews emigrated. Some, such as the family of <a href="/wiki/Maimonides" title="Maimonides">Maimonides</a>, fled south and east to the more tolerant Muslim lands, while others went northward to settle in the growing Christian kingdoms. Meanwhile, the Reconquista continued in the north throughout the 12th century. As various Arab lands fell to the Christians, conditions for some Jews in the emerging Christian kingdoms became increasingly favorable. As had happened during the reconstruction of towns following the breakdown of authority under the Umayyads, the services of Jews were employed by the victorious Christian leaders. Sephardic knowledge of the language and culture of the enemy, their skills as diplomats and professionals, as well as their desire for relief from intolerable conditions — the very same reasons that they had proved useful to the Arabs in the early stages of the Muslim invasion — made their services very valuable. However, the Jews from the Muslim south were not entirely secure in their northward migrations. Old prejudices were compounded by newer ones. Suspicions of complicity with the Muslims were alive and well as Jews immigrated, speaking Arabic. However, many of the newly arrived Jews of the north prospered during the late 11th and early 12th centuries. The majority of Latin documentation regarding Jews during this period refers to their landed property, fields, and vineyards. In many ways life had come full circle for the Sephardim of al-Andalus. As conditions became more oppressive during the 12th and 13th centuries, Jews again looked to an outside culture for relief. Christian leaders of reconquered cities granted them extensive autonomy, and Jewish scholarship recovered somewhat and developed as communities grew in size and importance. However, the Reconquista Jews never reached the same heights as had those of the Golden Age.<style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1129693374">.mw-parser-output .hlist dl,.mw-parser-output .hlist

title="Marranos">Marranos</a>, had occupied prominent positions in the countries they had left. Some had been stated officials, others had held positions of dignity within the Church; many had been the heads of large banking-houses and mercantile establishments, and some were physicians or scholars who had officiated as teachers in high schools. Their Spanish or <a href="/wiki/Portuguese_language" title="Portuguese language">Portuguese</a> was a <a href="/wiki/Lingua_franca" title="Lingua franca">lingua franca</a> that enabled Sephardim from different countries to engage in commerce and diplomacy. With their social equals they associated freely, without regard to religion and more likely with regard to equivalent or comparative education, for they were generally well read, which became a tradition and expectation. They were received at the courts of sultans, kings, and princes, and often were employed as ambassadors, envoys, or agents. The number of Sephardim who have rendered important services to different countries is considerable as <a href="/wiki/Samuel_Abravanel" title="Samuel Abravanel">Samuel Abravanel</a> (or "Abrabanel"—financial councilor to the viceroy of <a href="/wiki/Naples" title="Naples">Naples</a>) or <a href="/wiki/Moses_Curiel" title="Moses Curiel">Moses Curiel</a> (or "Jeromino Nunes da Costa"-serving as Agent to the Crown of Portugal in the <a href="/wiki/United_Provinces_(Low_Countries)" class="mw-redirect" title="United Provinces (Low Countries)">United Provinces</a>).<a href="#cite_note-41">[40]</a><a href="#cite_note-42">[41]</a> Among other names mentioned are those of Belmonte, <a href="/wiki/Joseph_Nasi" title="Joseph Nasi">Nasi</a>, <a href="/wiki/Francisco_Pacheco" title="Francisco Pacheco">Francisco Pacheco</a>, Blas, <a href="/wiki/Pedro_de_Herrera" title="Pedro de Herrera">Pedro de Herrera</a>, <a href="/wiki/Palache" class="mw-redirect" title="Palache">Palache</a>, <a href="/wiki/Pimentel_(surname)" title="Pimentel (surname)">Pimentel</a>, <a href="/wiki/Azevedo" title="Azevedo">Azevedo</a>, Sagaste, <a href="/wiki/Joseph_Salvador" title="Joseph Salvador">Salvador</a>, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Sasportas&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Sasportas (page does not exist)">Sasportas</a>, <a href="/wiki/Costa_(surname)" title="Costa (surname)">Costa</a>, <a href="/wiki/Curiel_family" title="Curiel family">Curiel</a>, <a href="/wiki/Cansino" class="mw-redirect" title="Cansino">Cansino</a>, <a href="/wiki/Sch%C3%B6nenberg_(surname)" title="Schönenberg (surname)">Schönenberg</a>, Sapoznik (Zapatero), <a href="/wiki/Toledo,_Spain" title="Toledo, Spain">Toledo</a>, Miranda, <a href="/wiki/Toledano" title="Toledano">Toledano</a>, <a href="/wiki/Pereira_(surname)" title="Pereira (surname)">Pereira</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Teixeira" title="Teixeira">Teixeira</a>. The Sephardim distinguished themselves as physicians and statesmen, and won the favor of rulers and princes, in both the Christian and the Islamic world. That the Sephardim were selected for prominent positions in every country where they settled was only in part due to the fact that Spanish had become a world-language through the expansion of Spain into the world-spanning Spanish Empire—the cosmopolitan cultural background after long associations with Islamic scholars of the Sephardic families also made them extremely well educated for the <a href="/wiki/Historical_era" class="mw-redirect" title="Historical era">times</a>, even well into the <a href="/wiki/Age_of_Enlightenment" title="Age of Enlightenment">European Enlightenment</a>. For a long time, the Sephardim took an active part in <a href="/wiki/Spanish_literature" title="Spanish literature">Spanish literature</a>; they wrote in prose and in rhyme, and were the authors of theological, philosophical, <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/belletristic" class="extiw" title="wikt:belletristic">belletristic</a> (aesthetic rather than content-based writing), pedagogic (teaching), and mathematical works. The rabbis, who, in common with all the Sephardim, emphasized a pure and euphonious pronunciation of Hebrew, delivered their sermons in Spanish or in Portuguese. Several of these sermons have appeared in print. Their thirst for knowledge, together with the fact that they associated freely with the outer world, led the Sephardim to establish new educational systems. Wherever they settled, they founded schools that used Spanish as the medium of instruction. Theatre in Constantinople was in Judæo-Spanish since it was forbidden to Muslims. <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Massacre_de_lisboa.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c2/Massacre_de_lisboa.jpg/220px-Massacre_de_lisboa.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="213" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c2/Massacre_de_lisboa.jpg/330px-Massacre_de_lisboa.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c2/Massacre_de_lisboa.jpg/440px-Massacre_de_lisboa.jpg 2x" data-file-width="448" data-file-height="434" /></a><figcaption>A representation of the 1506 <a href="/wiki/Lisbon_Massacre" class="mw-redirect" title="Lisbon Massacre">Jewish Massacre</a> in Lisbon.</figcaption></figure> In Portugal, the Sephardim were given important roles in the sociopolitical sphere and enjoyed a certain amount of protection from the Crown (e.g. <a href="/w/index.php?title=Yahia_Ben_Yahia&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Yahia Ben Yahia (page does not exist)">Yahia Ben Yahia</a>, first "Rabino Maior" of Portugal and supervisor of the public revenue of the first King of Portugal, <a href="/wiki/Don_(honorific)" title="Don (honorific)">D.</a> <a href="/wiki/Afonso_Henriques" class="mw-redirect" title="Afonso Henriques">Afonso Henriques</a>). Even with the increasing pressure from the Catholic Church, this state of affairs remained more or less constant and the number of Jews in Portugal grew with those running from Spain. This changed with the marriage of D. <a href="/wiki/Manuel_I_of_Portugal" title="Manuel I of Portugal">Manuel I of Portugal</a> with the daughter of the <a href="/wiki/Catholic_Monarchs" class="mw-redirect" title="Catholic Monarchs">Catholic Monarchs</a> of the newly born Spain. In 1497 the Decree ordering the expulsion or forced conversion of all the Jews was passed, and the Sephardim either fled or went into secrecy under the guise of "Cristãos Novos", i.e. <a href="/wiki/New_Christians" class="mw-redirect" title="New Christians">New Christians</a> (this Decree was symbolically revoked in 1996 by the <a href="/wiki/Assembly_of_the_Republic_(Portugal)" title="Assembly of the Republic (Portugal)">Portuguese Parliament</a>). Those who fled to <a href="/wiki/Republic_of_Genoa" title="Republic of Genoa">Genoa</a> were only allowed to land provided they received baptism. Those who were fortunate enough to reach the <a href="/wiki/Ottoman_Empire" title="Ottoman Empire">Ottoman Empire</a> had a better fate: the Sultan <a href="/wiki/Bayezid_II" title="Bayezid II">Bayezid II</a> sarcastically[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] sent his thanks to Ferdinand for sending him some of his best subjects, thus "impoverishing his own lands while enriching his (Bayezid's)". Jews arriving in the Ottoman Empire were mostly resettled in and around <a href="/wiki/Thessalonica" class="mw-redirect" title="Thessalonica">Thessalonica</a> and to some extent in <a href="/wiki/Constantinople" title="Constantinople">Constantinople</a> and <a href="/wiki/%C4%B0zmir" title="İzmir">İzmir</a>. This was followed by a <a href="/wiki/Marrano#Massacre_at_Lisbon" title="Marrano">great massacre of Jews in the city of</a> <a href="/wiki/Lisbon" title="Lisbon">Lisbon</a> in 1506 and the establishment of the <a href="/wiki/Portuguese_Inquisition" title="Portuguese Inquisition">Portuguese Inquisition</a> in 1536. This caused the flight of the Portuguese Jewish community, which continued until the extinction of the Courts of Inquisition in 1821; by then there were very few Jews in Portugal. In <a href="/wiki/Amsterdam" title="Amsterdam">Amsterdam</a>, where Jews were especially prominent in the 17th century on account of their number, wealth, education, and influence, they established poetical academies after Spanish models; two of these were the Academia de Los Sitibundos and the Academia de Los Floridos. In the same city they also organized the first Jewish educational institution, with graduate classes in which, in addition to <a href="/wiki/Talmud" title="Talmud">Talmudic</a> studies, the instruction was given in the <a href="/wiki/Hebrew_language" title="Hebrew language">Hebrew language</a>. The most important synagogue, or <a href="/wiki/Synagogue" title="Synagogue">Esnoga</a>, as it is usually called amongst Spanish and Portuguese Jews, is the <a href="/wiki/Amsterdam_Esnoga" class="mw-redirect" title="Amsterdam Esnoga">Amsterdam Esnoga</a>—usually considered the "mother synagogue", and the historical center of the Amsterdam <a href="/wiki/Minhag" title="Minhag">minhag</a>. A sizable Sephardic community had settled in <a href="/wiki/Morocco" title="Morocco">Morocco</a> and other <a href="/wiki/North_Africa" title="North Africa">Northern African</a> countries, which were colonized by France in the 19th century. Jews in Algeria were given French citizenship in 1870 by the décret Crémieux (previously Jews and Muslims could apply for French citizenship, but had to renounce the use of traditional religious courts and laws, which many did not want to do). When France withdrew from <a href="/wiki/Algeria" title="Algeria">Algeria</a> in 1962, the local Jewish communities largely relocated to France. There are some tensions between some of those communities and the earlier French Jewish population (who were mostly <a href="/wiki/Ashkenazi_Jews" title="Ashkenazi Jews">Ashkenazi Jews</a>), and with Arabic-Muslim communities. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="In_the_Age_of_Discoveries">In the Age of Discoveries</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sephardic_Jews&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: In the Age of Discoveries">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Interieur_van_de_Portugese_synagoge_te_Amsterdam,_SK-A-3738.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/55/Interieur_van_de_Portugese_synagoge_te_Amsterdam%2C_SK-A-3738.jpg/220px-Interieur_van_de_Portugese_synagoge_te_Amsterdam%2C_SK-A-3738.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="248" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/55/Interieur_van_de_Portugese_synagoge_te_Amsterdam%2C_SK-A-3738.jpg/330px-Interieur_van_de_Portugese_synagoge_te_Amsterdam%2C_SK-A-3738.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/55/Interieur_van_de_Portugese_synagoge_te_Amsterdam%2C_SK-A-3738.jpg/440px-Interieur_van_de_Portugese_synagoge_te_Amsterdam%2C_SK-A-3738.jpg 2x" data-file-width="5382" data-file-height="6060" /></a><figcaption>Interior of the <a href="/wiki/Portuguese_Synagogue_(Amsterdam)" title="Portuguese Synagogue (Amsterdam)">Portuguese synagogue</a> in Amsterdam, c. 1680</figcaption></figure> The largest part of Spanish Jews expelled in 1492 fled to Portugal, where they eluded persecution for a few years. The <a href="/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Portugal" title="History of the Jews in Portugal">Jewish community in Portugal</a> was perhaps then some 15% of that country's population.<a href="#cite_note-Kayserling-43">[42]</a> They were declared Christians by Royal decree unless they left, but the King hindered their departure, needing their artisanship and working population for Portugal's overseas enterprises and territories. Later Sephardic Jews settled in many trade areas controlled by the Empire of Philip II and others. With various countries in Europe also the Sephardi Jews established commercial relations. In a letter dated 25 November 1622, King <a href="/wiki/Christian_IV_of_Denmark" title="Christian IV of Denmark">Christian IV of Denmark</a> invites Jews of Amsterdam to settle in <a href="/wiki/Gl%C3%BCckstadt" title="Glückstadt">Glückstadt</a>, where, among other privileges, the free exercise of their religion would be assured to them. <a href="/wiki/%C3%81lvaro_Caminha" title="Álvaro Caminha">Álvaro Caminha</a>, in <a href="/wiki/Cape_Verde" title="Cape Verde">Cape Verde</a> islands, who received the land as a grant from the crown, established a colony with Jews forced to stay on the island of <a href="/wiki/S%C3%A3o_Tom%C3%A9" title="São Tomé">São Tomé</a>. <a href="/wiki/Pr%C3%ADncipe" title="Príncipe">Príncipe</a> island was settled in 1500 under a similar arrangement. Attracting settlers proved difficult, however, the Jewish settlement was a success and their descendants settled many parts of Brazil.<a href="#cite_note-44">[43]</a> In 1579 <a href="/wiki/Luis_de_Carvajal_y_de_la_Cueva" title="Luis de Carvajal y de la Cueva">Luis de Carvajal y de la Cueva</a> a Portuguese-born <a href="/wiki/Converso" title="Converso">Converso</a>, Spanish-Crown officer, was awarded a large swath of territory in New Spain, known as <a href="/wiki/Nuevo_Le%C3%B3n" title="Nuevo León">Nuevo Reino de León</a>. He founded settlements with other conversos that would later become <a href="/wiki/Monterrey" title="Monterrey">Monterrey</a>. In particular, Jews established relations between the Dutch and South America. They contributed to the establishment of the Dutch West Indies Company in 1621, and some were members of the directorate. The ambitious schemes of the Dutch for the conquest of Brazil were carried into effect through Francisco Ribeiro, a Portuguese captain, who is said to have had Jewish relations in the <a href="/wiki/Dutch_Republic" title="Dutch Republic">Netherlands</a>. Some years afterward, when the Dutch in Brazil appealed to the Netherlands for craftsmen of all kinds, many Jews went to Brazil. About 600 Jews left Amsterdam in 1642, accompanied by two distinguished scholars—<a href="/wiki/Isaac_Aboab_da_Fonseca" title="Isaac Aboab da Fonseca">Isaac Aboab da Fonseca</a> and <a href="/wiki/Moses_Raphael_de_Aguilar" title="Moses Raphael de Aguilar">Moses Raphael de Aguilar</a>.

Most of the white inhabitants of the town were Sephardic Jews from Portugal who had been banned by the <a href="/wiki/Portuguese_Inquisition" title="Portuguese Inquisition">Portuguese Inquisition</a> to this town at the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. In 1624, the colony had been occupied by the Dutch. By becoming the rabbi of the community, Aboab da Fonseca was the first appointed rabbi of the Americas. The name of his congregation was <a href="/wiki/Kahal_Zur_Israel_Synagogue" title="Kahal Zur Israel Synagogue">Kahal Zur Israel Synagogue</a> and the community had a synagogue, a <a href="/wiki/Mikveh" title="Mikveh">mikveh</a> and a <a href="/wiki/Yeshiva" title="Yeshiva">yeshiva</a> as well. However, during the time he was a rabbi in Pernambuco, the Portuguese re-occupied the place again in 1654, after a struggle of nine years. Aboab da Fonseca managed to return to Amsterdam after the occupation of the Portuguese. Members of his community immigrated to North America and were among the founders of <a href="/wiki/New_York_City" title="New York City">New York City</a>, but some Jews took refuge in <a href="/wiki/Serid%C3%B3" title="Seridó">Seridó</a>.

It was an autonomous institution, and until the mid-17th century it was not under the authority of the highest organ of the Jewish self-government in the Republic of Poland - the <a href="/wiki/Council_of_Four_Lands" title="Council of Four Lands">Council of Four Lands</a>.<a href="#cite_note-45">[44]</a> Besides merchants, a great number of physicians were among the Spanish Jews in Amsterdam: Samuel Abravanel, David Nieto, Elijah Montalto, and the Bueno family; Joseph Bueno was consulted in the illness of Prince Maurice (April 1623). Jews were admitted as students at the university, where they studied medicine as the only branch of the science of practical use to them, for they were not permitted to practice law, and the oath they would be compelled to take excluded them from the professorships. Neither were Jews taken into the trade-guilds: a resolution passed by the city of Amsterdam in 1632 (the cities being autonomous) excluded them. Exceptions, however, were made in the case of trades that related to their religion: printing, bookselling, and the selling of meat, poultry, groceries, and drugs. In 1655 a Jew was, exceptionally, permitted to establish a sugar-refinery. Jonathan Ray, a professor of Jewish theological studies, has argued that the community of Sephardim was formed more during the 1600s than the medieval period. He explains that prior to expulsion Spanish Jewish communities did not have a shared identity in the sense that developed in diaspora. They did not carry any particular Hispano-Jewish identity into exile with them, but certain shared cultural traits contributed to the formation of the diaspora community from what had historically been independent communities.<a href="#cite_note-46">[45]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_Holocaust">The Holocaust</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sephardic_Jews&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: The Holocaust">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Bundesarchiv_Bild_101I-179-1575-08,_Ioannina,_Deportation_von_Juden.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/80/Bundesarchiv_Bild_101I-179-1575-08%2C_Ioannina%2C_Deportation_von_Juden.jpg/220px-Bundesarchiv_Bild_101I-179-1575-08%2C_Ioannina%2C_Deportation_von_Juden.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="345" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/80/Bundesarchiv_Bild_101I-179-1575-08%2C_Ioannina%2C_Deportation_von_Juden.jpg/330px-Bundesarchiv_Bild_101I-179-1575-08%2C_Ioannina%2C_Deportation_von_Juden.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/80/Bundesarchiv_Bild_101I-179-1575-08%2C_Ioannina%2C_Deportation_von_Juden.jpg/440px-Bundesarchiv_Bild_101I-179-1575-08%2C_Ioannina%2C_Deportation_von_Juden.jpg 2x" data-file-width="507" data-file-height="795" /></a><figcaption>A young woman weeps during the deportation of Jews of <a href="/wiki/Ioannina" title="Ioannina">Ioannina</a> (Greece) on 25 March 1944.</figcaption></figure> The <a href="/wiki/Holocaust" class="mw-redirect" title="Holocaust">Holocaust</a> that devastated European Jewry and virtually destroyed its centuries-old culture also wiped out the great European population centers of Sephardi Jewry and led to the almost complete destruction of its unique language and traditions. Sephardi Jewish communities from France and the Netherlands in the northwest to Yugoslavia and Greece in the southeast almost disappeared. On the eve of World War II, the European Sephardi community was concentrated in Southeastern Europe countries of <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Greece" title="Kingdom of Greece">Greece</a>, <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Yugoslavia" title="Kingdom of Yugoslavia">Yugoslavia</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Bulgaria" class="mw-redirect" title="Kingdom of Bulgaria">Bulgaria</a>.

The experience of Jewish communities in those countries during the war varied greatly and depended on the type of regime under which they fell. The Jewish communities of Yugoslavia and northern Greece, including the 50,000 Jews of Salonika, fell under direct <a href="/wiki/Axis_occupation_of_Greece" title="Axis occupation of Greece">German occupation in April 1941</a> and bore the full weight and intensity of Nazi repressive measures from dispossession, humiliation, and forced labor to hostage-taking, and finally deportation to the <a href="/wiki/Auschwitz_concentration_camp" title="Auschwitz concentration camp">Auschwitz concentration camp</a> and extermination.<a href="#cite_note-47">[46]</a> The Jewish population of southern Greece fell under the jurisdiction of the <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Italy" title="Kingdom of Italy">Italians</a> who eschewed the enactment of anti-Jewish legislation and resisted whenever possible German efforts to transfer them to occupied Poland, until the surrender of Italy on 8 September 1943 brought the Jews under German control. Sephardi Jews in Bosnia and Croatia were ruled by a German-created <a href="/wiki/Independent_State_of_Croatia" title="Independent State of Croatia">Independent State of Croatia</a> state from April 1941, which subjected them to pogrom-like actions before herding them into local camps where they were murdered side by side with Serbs and Roma (see <a href="/wiki/Porajmos" class="mw-redirect" title="Porajmos">Porajmos</a>). The Jews of Macedonia and Thrace were controlled by Bulgarian occupation forces, which after rendering them stateless, rounded them up and turned them over to the Germans for deportation. Finally, the Jews of Bulgaria proper were under the rule of a Nazi ally that subjected them to ruinous anti-Jewish legislation, but ultimately yielded to pressure from Bulgarian parliamentarians, clerics, and intellectuals not to deport them. More than 50,000 <a href="/wiki/Bulgarian_Jews" class="mw-redirect" title="Bulgarian Jews">Bulgarian Jews</a> were thus saved. The Jews in North Africa identified themselves only as Jews or European Jews, having been westernized by French and Italian colonization.

They did not, however, directly suffer the more extreme Nazi Germany antisemitic policies, and nor did the Jews in <a href="/wiki/Italian_Libya" title="Italian Libya">Italian Libya</a>. The Jewish communities in those European North Africa countries, in Bulgaria, and in Denmark were the only ones who were spared the mass deportation and mass murder that afflicted other Jewish communities. <a href="/wiki/Operation_Torch" title="Operation Torch">Operation Torch</a> therefore saved more than 400,000 Jews in European North Africa. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Later_history_and_culture">Later history and culture</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sephardic_Jews&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Later history and culture">edit</a>]</div> The Jews in French Algeria were awarded French citizenship by 1870 <a href="/wiki/Cr%C3%A9mieux_Decree" title="Crémieux Decree">Crémieux Decree</a>.

them, and they still manifest a fondness for the dishes peculiar to Iberia, such as the pastel, or pastelico, a sort of meat-pie, and the pan de España, or pan de León. At their festivals, they follow the Spanish custom of distributing dulces, or dolces, a confection wrapped in paper bearing a picture of the <a href="/wiki/Magen_David" class="mw-redirect" title="Magen David">magen David</a> (six-pointed star).

In 1944 the Sephardim community established a separate "<a href="/wiki/Colegio_Hebreo_Sefarad%C3%AD" title="Colegio Hebreo Sefaradí">Colegio Hebreo Sefaradí</a>" with 90 students where instruction was in Hebrew and complemented with classes on Jewish customs. By 1950 there were 500 students. In 1968 a group of young Sephardim created the group Tnuat Noar Jinujit Dor Jadash in support of the creation of the state of Israel. In 1972 the Majazike Tora institute is created aiming to prepare young male Jews for their <a href="/wiki/Bar_and_Bat_Mitzvah" class="mw-redirect" title="Bar and Bat Mitzvah">Bar Mitzvah</a>.<a href="#cite_note-51">[50]</a> While the majority of <a href="/wiki/American_Jews" title="American Jews">American Jews</a> today are Ashkenazim, in Colonial times Sephardim made up the majority of the Jewish population. For example, the 1654 Jews who arrived in <a href="/wiki/New_Amsterdam" title="New Amsterdam">New Amsterdam</a> fled from the colony of <a href="/wiki/Recife" title="Recife">Recife</a>, Brazil after the Portuguese seized it from the Dutch. Through most of the 18th century, American synagogues conducted and recorded their business in Portuguese, even if their daily language was English. It was not until widespread German immigration to the United States in the 19th century that the tables turned and Ashkenazim (initially from Germany but by the 20th century from Eastern Europe) began to dominate the American Jewish landscape. The Sephardim usually have followed the general rules for <a href="/wiki/Spanish_naming_customs" title="Spanish naming customs">Spanish</a> and <a href="/wiki/Portuguese_name" title="Portuguese name">Portuguese names</a>. Many used to bear Portuguese and Spanish names; however, it is noteworthy that a large number of Sephardic names are of <a href="/wiki/Hebrew" class="mw-redirect" title="Hebrew">Hebrew</a> and <a href="/wiki/Arabic" title="Arabic">Arabic</a> roots and are totally absent in Iberian patronyms and are therefore often seen as typically Jewish. Many of the names are associated with non-Jewish (Christian) families and individuals and are by no means exclusive to Jews. After 1492, many <a href="/wiki/Marranos" class="mw-redirect" title="Marranos">marranos</a> changed their names to hide their Jewish origins and avoid persecution, adopting professions and even translating such patronyms to local languages like Arabic and even German.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] It was common to choose the name of the Parish Church where they have been baptized into the Christian faith, such as Santa Cruz or the common name of the word "Messiah" (Savior/Salvador) or adopted the name of their Christian godparents.<a href="#cite_note-52">[51]</a> Dr. Mark Hilton's research demonstrated in IPS DNA testing that the last name of Marranos linked with the location of the local parish was correlated 89.3% In contrast to Ashkenazic Jews, who do not name newborn children after living relatives, Sephardic Jews often name their children after the children's grandparents, even if they are still alive. The first son and daughter are traditionally named after the paternal grandparents, then the maternal parents' names are next in line for the remaining children. After that, additional children's names are "free", so to speak, meaning that one can choose whatever name, without any more "naming obligations." The only instance in which Sephardic Jews will not name after their own parents is when one of the spouses shares a common first name with a mother/father-in-law (since Jews will not name their children after themselves.) There are times though when the "free" names are used to honor the memory of a deceased relative who died young or childless. These conflicting naming conventions can be troublesome when children are born into mixed Ashkenazic-Sephardic households. A notable exception to the distinct Ashkenazi and Sephardi naming traditions is found among <a href="/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_the_Netherlands" title="History of the Jews in the Netherlands">Dutch Jews</a>, where Ashkenazim have for centuries followed the tradition otherwise attributed to Sephardim.

href="/w/index.php?title=Sephardic_Jews&action=edit&section=16" title="Edit section: Divisions">edit</a>]</div> The divisions among Sephardim and their descendants today are largely a result of the consequences of the royal edicts of expulsion. Both the Spanish and Portuguese crowns ordered their respective Jewish subjects to choose one of two options: <ol><li>to convert to Catholicism and be allowed to remain within the kingdom, or</li> <li>to remain Jewish and leave or be expelled by the stipulated deadline.</li></ol> In the case of the <a href="/wiki/Alhambra_Decree" title="Alhambra Decree">Alhambra Decree</a> of <a href="/wiki/1492" title="1492">1492</a>, the primary purpose was to eliminate Jewish influence on Spain's large <a href="/wiki/Converso" title="Converso">converso</a> population, and ensure they did not revert to Judaism. Over half of Spain's Jews had converted in the 14th century as a result of the religious persecution and pogroms which <a href="/wiki/Massacre_of_1391" title="Massacre of 1391">occurred in 1391</a>. They and their Catholic descendants were not subject to the decree or to expulsion, yet were surveilled by the Spanish Inquisition. British scholar Henry Kamen has said that <blockquote>"the real purpose of the 1492 edict likely was not expulsion, but compulsory conversion and assimilation of all Spanish Jews, a process which had been underway for a number of centuries. Indeed, a further number of those Jews who had not yet joined the converso community finally chose to convert and avoid expulsion as a result of the edict. As a result of the Alhambra decree and persecution during the prior century, between 200,000 and 250,000 Jews converted to Catholicism and between one third and one half of Spain's remaining 100,000 non-converted Jews chose exile, with an indeterminate number returning to Spain in the years following the expulsion."<a href="#cite_note-94">[93]</a></blockquote> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:A_Expuls%C3%A3o_dos_Judeus_(Roque_Gameiro,_Quadros_da_Hist%C3%B3ria_de_Portugal,_1917).png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bb/A_Expuls%C3%A3o_dos_Judeus_%28Roque_Gameiro%2C_Quadros_da_Hist%C3%B3ria_de_Portugal%2C_1917%29.png/259px-A_Expuls%C3%A3o_dos_Judeus_%28Roque_Gameiro%2C_Quadros_da_Hist%C3%B3ria_de_Portugal%2C_1917%29.png" decoding="async" width="259" height="181" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bb/A_Expuls%C3%A3o_dos_Judeus_%28Roque_Gameiro%2C_Quadros_da_Hist%C3%B3ria_de_Portugal%2C_1917%29.png/389px-A_Expuls%C3%A3o_dos_Judeus_%28Roque_Gameiro%2C_Quadros_da_Hist%C3%B3ria_de_Portugal%2C_1917%29.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bb/A_Expuls%C3%A3o_dos_Judeus_%28Roque_Gameiro%2C_Quadros_da_Hist%C3%B3ria_de_Portugal%2C_1917%29.png/518px-A_Expuls%C3%A3o_dos_Judeus_%28Roque_Gameiro%2C_Quadros_da_Hist%C3%B3ria_de_Portugal%2C_1917%29.png 2x" data-file-width="2446" data-file-height="1708" /></a><figcaption>"The Banishment of the Jews", by <a href="/wiki/Alfredo_Roque_Gameiro" title="Alfredo Roque Gameiro">Roque Gameiro</a>, in Quadros da História de Portugal ("Pictures of the History of Portugal", 1917).</figcaption></figure> The Portuguese king <a href="/wiki/John_II_of_Portugal" title="John II of Portugal">John II</a> welcomed the Jewish refugees from Spain with the purpose of obtaining specialized artisans, which the Portuguese population lacked, imposing over them, however, a hefty fee for the right to stay in the country.

While the stipulations were similar in the Portuguese decree, King Manuel largely prevented Portugal's Jews from leaving, by blocking Portugal's ports of exit, foreseeing a negative economic effect of a similar Jewish flight from Portugal.

Physical <a href="/wiki/Forced_conversion" title="Forced conversion">forced conversions</a>, however, were also suffered by Jews throughout Portugal. These persecutions led to several recently converted families to flee Portugal, such as the family of <a href="/wiki/Francisco_Sanches" title="Francisco Sanches">Francisco Sanches</a> who fled to <a href="/wiki/Bordeaux" title="Bordeaux">Bordeaux</a>. Sephardi Jews encompass Jews descended from those Jews who left the Iberian Peninsula as Jews by the expiration of the respective decreed deadlines. This group is further divided between those who fled south to <a href="/wiki/North_Africa" title="North Africa">North Africa</a>, as opposed to those who fled eastwards to the <a href="/wiki/Balkans" title="Balkans">Balkans</a>, <a href="/wiki/West_Asia" title="West Asia">West Asia</a> and beyond. Others fled east into Europe, with many settling in northern Italy and the <a href="/wiki/Low_Countries" title="Low Countries">Low Countries</a>. Also included among Sephardi Jews are those who descend from "<a href="/wiki/New_Christian" title="New Christian">New Christian</a>" conversos, but returned to Judaism after leaving Iberia, largely after reaching Southern and Western Europe.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] From these regions, many later migrated again, this time to the non-Iberian territories of the Americas. Additional to all these Sephardic Jewish groups are the descendants of those New Christian conversos who either remained in Iberia, or moved from Iberia directly to the Iberian colonial possessions in what are today the various <a href="/wiki/Latin_America" title="Latin America">Latin American</a> countries. For historical reasons and circumstances, most of the descendants of this group of conversos never formally returned to the Jewish religion. All these sub-groups are defined by a combination of geography, identity, religious evolution, language evolution, and the timeframe of their reversion (for those who had in the interim undergone a temporary nominal <a href="/wiki/Religious_conversion" title="Religious conversion">conversion</a> to Catholicism) or non-reversion back to Judaism. These Sephardic sub-groups are separate from any pre-existing local Jewish communities they encountered in their new areas of settlement. From the perspective of the present day, the first three sub-groups appeared to have developed as separate branches, each with its own traditions. In earlier centuries, and as late as the editing of the <a href="/wiki/Jewish_Encyclopedia" class="mw-redirect" title="Jewish Encyclopedia">Jewish Encyclopedia</a> at the beginning of the 20th century, the Sephardim were usually regarded as together forming a continuum.

Although technically Egypt was a North African Ottoman region, those Jews who settled in <a href="/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Egypt" title="History of the Jews in Egypt">Alexandria</a> are included in this group, due to Egypt's cultural proximity to the other West Asian provinces under Ottoman rule. For the most part, Eastern Sephardim did not maintain their own separate Sephardic religious and cultural institutions from pre-existing Jews. Instead the local Jews came to adopt the liturgical customs of the recent Sephardic arrivals. Eastern Sephardim in European areas of the Ottoman Empire, as well as in Palestine, retained their culture and language, but those in the other parts of the West Asian portion gave up their language and adopted the local Judeo-Arabic dialect. This latter phenomenon is just one of the factors which have today led to the broader and eclectic religious definition of Sephardi Jews. Thus, the Jewish communities in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Egypt are partly of Spanish Jewish origin and they are counted as Sephardim proper. The great majority of the Jewish communities in Iraq, and all of those in Iran, Eastern Syria, Yemen, and Eastern Turkey, are descendants of pre-existing indigenous Jewish populations. They adopted the Sephardic rites and traditions through cultural diffusion, and are properly termed <a href="/wiki/Mizrahi_Jews" title="Mizrahi Jews">Mizrahi Jews</a>.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] Going even further into South Asia, a few of the Eastern Sephardim followed the spice trade routes as far as the <a href="/wiki/Malabar_coast" class="mw-redirect" title="Malabar coast">Malabar coast</a> of southern India, where they settled among the established <a href="/wiki/Cochin_Jews" title="Cochin Jews">Cochin Jewish</a> community. Their culture and customs were absorbed by the local Jews. [<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>]. Additionally, there was a large community of Jews and crypto-Jews of Portuguese origin in the Portuguese colony of <a href="/wiki/Goa" title="Goa">Goa</a>. <a href="/wiki/Gaspar_Jorge_de_Le%C3%A3o_Pereira" title="Gaspar Jorge de Leão Pereira">Gaspar Jorge de Leão Pereira</a>, the first archbishop of Goa, wanted to suppress or expel that community, calling for the initiation of the <a href="/wiki/Goa_Inquisition" title="Goa Inquisition">Goa Inquisition</a> against the <a href="/wiki/Sephardic_Jews_in_India" title="Sephardic Jews in India">Sephardic Jews in India</a>. In recent times, principally after 1948, most Eastern Sephardim have since relocated to Israel, and others to the US and Latin America.

Western Sephardim are further sub-divided into an <a href="/wiki/Old_World" title="Old World">Old World</a> branch and a <a href="/wiki/New_World" title="New World">New World</a> branch. Henry Kamen and Joseph Perez estimate that of the total Jewish origin population of Spain at the time of the issuance of the Alhambra Decree, those who chose to remain in Spain represented the majority, up to 300,000 of a total Jewish origin population of 350,000.<a href="#cite_note-102">[101]</a> Furthermore, a significant number returned to Spain in the years following the expulsion, on condition of converting to Catholicism, the Crown guaranteeing they could recover their property at the same price at which it was sold. Discrimination against this large community of conversos nevertheless remained, and those who secretly practiced the Jewish faith specifically suffered severe episodes of persecution by the Inquisition. The last such episode of persecution occurred in the mid-18th century. External migrations out of the Iberian peninsula coincided with these episodes of increased persecution by the Inquisition. As a result of this discrimination and persecution, a small number of <a href="/wiki/Marranos" class="mw-redirect" title="Marranos">marranos</a> (conversos who secretly still practiced Judaism) later emigrated to more religiously tolerant Old World countries outside the <a href="/wiki/Hispanosphere" class="mw-redirect" title="Hispanosphere">Iberian cultural sphere</a>, such as the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Italy, Germany and England.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] In these lands conversos reverted to Judaism, rejoining the Jewish community sometimes up to the third or even fourth generations after the initial decrees stipulating conversion, expulsion, or death. It is these returnees to Judaism that represent Old World Western Sephardim. Among this community of Sephardic Jews, the philosopher <a href="/wiki/Baruch_Spinoza" title="Baruch Spinoza">Baruch de Spinoza</a> was born from a Portuguese Jewish family. He was also, famously, <a href="/wiki/Herem_(censure)" title="Herem (censure)">expelled from said community</a> over his religious and philosophical views. New World Western Sephardim, on the other hand, are the descendants of those Jewish-origin New Christian conversos who accompanied the millions of Old Christian Spaniards and Portuguese that emigrated to the Americas. More specifically, New World Western Sephardim are those Western Sephardim whose converso ancestors migrated to various of the non-Iberian colonies in the Americas in whose jurisdictions they could return to Judaism. New World Western Sephardim are juxtaposed to yet another group of descendants of conversos who settled in the Iberian colonies of the Americas who could not revert to Judaism. These comprise the related but distinct group known as <a href="/wiki/Sephardic_Bnei_Anusim" title="Sephardic Bnei Anusim">Sephardic Bnei Anusim</a> (see the section below). Due to the presence of the Spanish and Portuguese Inquisition in the Iberian American territories, initially, converso immigration was barred throughout much of Ibero-America. Because of this, very few converso immigrants in Iberian American colonies ever reverted to Judaism. Of those conversos in the New World who did return to Judaism, it was principally those who had come via an initial respite of refuge in the Netherlands or who were settling the New World Dutch colonies such as <a href="/wiki/Cura%C3%A7ao" title="Curaçao">Curaçao</a> and the area then known as New Holland (also called <a href="/wiki/Dutch_Brazil" title="Dutch Brazil">Dutch Brazil</a>). Dutch Brazil was the northern portion of the colony of Brazil ruled by the Dutch for under a quarter of a century before it also fell to the Portuguese who ruled the remainder of Brazil. Jews who had only recently reverted in Dutch Brazil then again had to flee to other Dutch-ruled colonies in the Americas, including joining brethren in Curaçao, but also migrating to <a href="/wiki/New_Amsterdam" title="New Amsterdam">New Amsterdam</a>, in what is today <a href="/wiki/Lower_Manhattan" title="Lower Manhattan">Lower Manhattan</a> in New York City. The oldest congregations in the non-Iberian colonial possessions in the Americas were founded by Western Sephardim, many who arrived in the then Dutch-ruled <a href="/wiki/New_Amsterdam" title="New Amsterdam">New Amsterdam</a>, with their synagogues being in the tradition of "Spanish and Portuguese Jews". In the United States in particular, <a href="/wiki/Congregation_Shearith_Israel" title="Congregation Shearith Israel">Congregation Shearith Israel</a>, established in 1654, in what is now New York City, is the oldest Jewish congregation in the United States. Its present building dates from 1897. Congregation <a href="/wiki/Jeshuat_Israel" class="mw-redirect" title="Jeshuat Israel">Jeshuat Israel</a> in Newport, Rhode Island, is dated to sometime after the arrival of Western Sephardim there in 1658 and prior to the 1677 purchase of a communal cemetery, now known as <a href="/wiki/Touro_Cemetery" title="Touro Cemetery">Touro Cemetery</a>. See also <a href="/wiki/List_of_the_oldest_synagogues_in_the_United_States" title="List of the oldest synagogues in the United States">List of the oldest synagogues in the United States</a>. The intermittent period of residence in Portugal (after the initial fleeing from Spain) for the ancestors of many Western Sephardim (whether Old World or New World) is a reason why the surnames of many Western Sephardim tend to be Portuguese variations of common Spanish surnames, though some are still Spanish.

The <a href="/wiki/Jewish_Agency_for_Israel" title="Jewish Agency for Israel">Jewish Agency for Israel</a> estimates the Sephardic Bnei Anusim population to number in the millions.<a href="#cite_note-nytimes.com-105">[104]</a> Their population size is several times larger than the three Jewish-integrated Sephardi descendant sub-groups combined, consisting of <a href="#Eastern_Sephardim">Eastern Sephardim</a>, <a href="#North_African_Sephardim">North African Sephardim</a>, and the ex-converso <a href="/wiki/Spanish_and_Portuguese_Jews" title="Spanish and Portuguese Jews">Western Sephardim</a> (both New World and Old World branches). Although numerically superior, Sephardic Bnei Anusim is, however, the least prominent or known sub-group of Sephardi descendants. Sephardic Bnei Anusim are also more than twice the size of the total world Jewish population as a whole, which itself also encompasses <a href="/wiki/Ashkenazi_Jews" title="Ashkenazi Jews">Ashkenazi Jews</a>, <a href="/wiki/Mizrahi_Jews" title="Mizrahi Jews">Mizrahi Jews</a> and <a href="/wiki/Jewish_ethnic_divisions" title="Jewish ethnic divisions">various other smaller groups</a>. Unlike the Anusim ("forced [converts]") who were the conversos up to the third, fourth or fifth generation (depending on the Jewish responsa) who later reverted to Judaism, the <a href="/wiki/Bnei_Anusim" class="mw-redirect" title="Bnei Anusim">Bnei Anusim</a> ("[later] sons/children/descendants [of the] forced [converts]") were the subsequent generations of descendants of the Anusim who remained hidden ever since the Inquisition in the Iberian Peninsula and its New World franchises. At least some Sephardic Anusim in the <a href="/wiki/Hispanosphere" class="mw-redirect" title="Hispanosphere">Hispanosphere</a> (in Iberia, but especially in their colonies in Ibero-America) had also initially tried to revert to Judaism, or at least maintain crypto-Jewish practices in privacy. This, however, was not feasible long-term in that environment, as Judaizing conversos in Iberia and Ibero-America remained persecuted, prosecuted, and liable to conviction and execution. The Inquisition itself was only finally formally disbanded in the 19th century. Historical documentation shedding new light on the diversity in the ethnic composition of the Iberian immigrants to the Spanish colonies of the Americas during the conquest era suggests that the number of <a href="/wiki/New_Christian" title="New Christian">New Christians</a> of Sephardi origin that actively participated in the conquest and settlement was more significant than previously estimated. A number of Spanish conquerors, administrators, settlers, have now been confirmed to have been of Sephardi origin. [<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] Recent revelations have only come about as a result of modern DNA evidence and newly discovered records in Spain, which had been either lost or hidden, relating to conversions, marriages, baptisms, and Inquisition trials of the parents, grandparents and great-grandparents of the Sephardi-origin Iberian immigrants. Overall, it is now estimated that up to 20% of modern-day Spaniards and 10% of colonial Latin America's Iberian settlers may have been of Sephardic origin, although the regional distribution of their settlement was uneven throughout the colonies. Thus, Iberian settlers of New Christian Sephardi-origin ranged anywhere from none in most areas to as high as 1 in every 3 (approx. 30%) Iberian settlers in other areas. With Latin America's current population standing at close to 590 million people, the bulk of which consists of persons of full or partial Iberian ancestry (both <a href="/wiki/Hispanic_America" title="Hispanic America">New World Hispanics</a> and <a href="/wiki/Brazilians" title="Brazilians">Brazilians</a>, whether they're <a href="/wiki/Criollo_people" title="Criollo people">criollos</a>, <a href="/wiki/Mestizos" class="mw-redirect" title="Mestizos">mestizos</a> or <a href="/wiki/Mulattos" class="mw-redirect" title="Mulattos">mulattos</a>), it is estimated that up to 50 million of these possess Sephardic Jewish ancestry to some degree. In Iberia, settlements of known and attested populations of Bnei Anusim include those in <a href="/wiki/Belmonte_Jews" class="mw-redirect" title="Belmonte Jews">Belmonte</a>, in Portugal, and the <a href="/wiki/Xuetes" class="mw-redirect" title="Xuetes">Xuetes</a> of <a href="/wiki/Palma,_Majorca" class="mw-redirect" title="Palma, Majorca">Palma de Mallorca</a>, in Spain. In 2011 Rabbi <a href="/wiki/Nissim_Karelitz" title="Nissim Karelitz">Nissim Karelitz</a>, a leading rabbi and <a href="/wiki/Halachic" class="mw-redirect" title="Halachic">Halachic</a> authority and chairman of the Beit Din Tzedek <a href="/wiki/Beit_Din" class="mw-redirect" title="Beit Din">rabbinical court</a> in <a href="/wiki/Bnei_Brak" title="Bnei Brak">Bnei Brak</a>, Israel, recognized the entire Xuete community of Bnei Anusim in Palma de Mallorca, as Jews.<a href="#cite_note-jpost.com-106">[105]</a> That population alone represented approximately 18,000 to 20,000 people,<a href="#cite_note-bbc.com-107">[106]</a> or just over 2% of the entire population of the island. The proclamation of the Jews' default acceptance of Catholicism by the Portuguese king actually resulted in a high percentage being assimilated into the Portuguese population. Besides the Xuetas, the same is true of Spain. Many of their descendants observe a <a href="/wiki/Syncretism" title="Syncretism">syncretist</a> form of Christian worship known as <a href="/wiki/Xueta_Christianity" title="Xueta Christianity">Xueta Christianity</a>.<a href="#cite_note-bbc.com-107">[106]</a><a href="#cite_note-108">[107]</a><a href="#cite_note-109">[108]</a><a href="#cite_note-110">[109]</a> Almost all Sephardic Bnei Anusim carry surnames which are known to have been used by Sephardim during the 15th century. However, almost all of these surnames are not specifically Sephardic per se, and most are in fact surnames of gentile Spanish or gentile Portuguese origin which only became common among Bnei Anusim because they deliberately adopted them during their conversions to Catholicism, in an attempt to obscure their Jewish heritage. Given that conversion made New Christians subject to Inquisitorial prosecution as Catholics, crypto-Jews formally recorded Christian names and gentile surnames to be publicly used as their aliases in notarial documents, government relations and commercial activities, while keeping their given Hebrew names and Jewish surnames secret.<a href="#cite_note-111">[110]</a> As a result, very few Sephardic Bnei Anusim carry surnames that are specifically Sephardic in origin, or that are exclusively found among Bnei Anusim. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Distribution">Distribution</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sephardic_Jews&action=edit&section=21" title="Edit section: Distribution">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Pre-1492">Pre-1492</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sephardic_Jews&action=edit&section=22" title="Edit section: Pre-1492">edit</a>]</div> Prior to 1492, substantial Jewish populations existed in most Spanish and Portuguese provinces.

A further number of those remaining chose to avoid expulsion as a result of the edict. As a result of the Alhambra decree and persecution in prior years, over 200,000 Jews converted to Catholicism,<a href="#cite_note-113">[112]</a> and between 40,000 and 100,000 were expelled, an indeterminate number returning to Spain in the years following the expulsion.<a href="#cite_note-114">[113]</a> The Spanish Jews who chose to leave Spain instead of converting <a href="/wiki/Jewish_diaspora" title="Jewish diaspora">dispersed</a> throughout the region of North Africa known as the <a href="/wiki/Maghreb" title="Maghreb">Maghreb</a>. In those regions, they often intermingled with the already existing <a href="/wiki/Mizrahi_Jews" title="Mizrahi Jews">Mizrahi</a> Arabic-speaking communities, becoming the ancestors of the Moroccan, Algerian, Tunisian, and Libyan Jewish communities.

The situation of returnees was legalized with the Ordinance of 10 November 1492 which established that civil and church authorities should be witness to baptism and, in the case that they were baptized before arrival, proof and witnesses of baptism were required. Furthermore, all property could be recovered by returnees at the same price at which it was sold. Returnees are documented as late as 1499.

It is a <a href="/wiki/Romance_languages" title="Romance languages">Romance language</a> derived mainly from <a href="/wiki/Old_Castilian" class="mw-redirect" title="Old Castilian">Old Castilian</a> (Spanish), with many borrowings from Turkish, and to a lesser extent from Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, and French. Until recently, two different dialects of Judeo-Spanish were spoken in the Mediterranean region: Eastern Judeo-Spanish (in various distinctive regional variations) and Western or North African Judeo-Spanish (also known as <a href="/wiki/Haketia" title="Haketia">Ḥakitía</a>). The latter was once spoken, with little regional distinction, in six towns in Northern Morocco. Because of later emigration, it was also spoken by Sephardim in <a href="/wiki/Ceuta" title="Ceuta">Ceuta</a> and <a href="/wiki/Melilla" title="Melilla">Melilla</a> (Spanish cities in North Africa), <a href="/wiki/Gibraltar" title="Gibraltar">Gibraltar</a>, <a href="/wiki/Casablanca" title="Casablanca">Casablanca</a> (Morocco), and <a href="/wiki/Oran" title="Oran">Oran</a> (Algeria). The Eastern Sephardic dialect is typified by its greater conservatism, its retention of numerous Old Spanish features in phonology, morphology, and lexicon, and its numerous borrowings from Turkish and, to a lesser extent, also from Greek and South Slavic. Both dialects have (or had) numerous borrowings from Hebrew, especially in reference to religious matters. But the number of <a href="/wiki/Hebraism" title="Hebraism">Hebraisms</a> in everyday speech or writing is in no way comparable to that found in <a href="/wiki/Yiddish" title="Yiddish">Yiddish</a>, the first language for some time among Ashkenazi Jews in Europe. On the other hand, the North African Sephardic dialect was, until the early 20th century, also highly conservative; its abundant <a href="/wiki/Maghrebi_Arabic" title="Maghrebi Arabic">Colloquial Arabic</a> loan words retained most of the Arabic phonemes as functional components of a new, enriched Hispano-Semitic phonological system. During the <a href="/wiki/Spanish_Morocco" class="mw-redirect" title="Spanish Morocco">Spanish colonial occupation of Northern Morocco</a> (1912–1956), Ḥakitía was subjected to pervasive, massive influence from Modern Standard Spanish. Most Moroccan Jews now speak a colloquial, <a href="/wiki/Andalusian_Spanish" title="Andalusian Spanish">Andalusian form of Spanish</a>, with only occasional use of the old language as a sign of in-group solidarity. Similarly, American Jews may now use an occasional <a href="/wiki/Yinglish" class="mw-redirect" title="Yinglish">Yiddishism</a> in colloquial speech. Except for certain younger individuals, who continue to practice Ḥakitía as a matter of cultural pride, this dialect, probably the most Arabized of the Romance languages apart from <a href="/wiki/Mozarabic_language" class="mw-redirect" title="Mozarabic language">Mozarabic</a>, has essentially ceased to exist. By contrast, Eastern Judeo-Spanish has fared somewhat better, especially in Israel, where newspapers, radio broadcasts, and elementary school and university programs strive to keep the language alive. But the old regional variations (i.e. Bosnia, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Romania, Greece, and Turkey for instance) are already either extinct or doomed to extinction. Only time will tell whether Judeo-Spanish koiné, now evolving in Israel—similar to that which developed among Sephardic immigrants to the United States early in the 20th century- will prevail and survive into the next generation.<a href="#cite_note-146">[145]</a> <a href="/wiki/Jud%C3%A6o-Portuguese" class="mw-redirect" title="Judæo-Portuguese">Judæo-Portuguese</a> was used by Sephardim — especially among the <a href="/wiki/Spanish_and_Portuguese_Jews" title="Spanish and Portuguese Jews">Spanish and Portuguese Jews</a>.
