Chronitin, why are you so full of hate towards Anusim? I was accepted and welcomed by my local Jewish community. No Jew has every called me a goy. And nobody said I had to make aliyah!

If they follow your sugestion to simply organize among themselves etc. It is may be a good start, but may not be a enough to be accepted by the rest of the Jews as Jewish, to be welcome to marry other Jews etc.

If a family was cut of from the rest of the Jewish people for 500 years or so they may have an internal tradition that they are Jewish descendants of forced converts to Christianity they may have even kept some of the Torah commandments and customs in secret , but if they want to be accepted with no doubts by the wider Jewish community as Jews they should either prove their Jewish linage which is not always posible , or they should convert to remove doubt.

Just Don't convert!!! Unless what CHONITIN is your case, if you are jewish, why do you seek convertion? organize among yourselves, Start your Houses of study and worship, learn of your ancient traditions, the spanish portuguese tradition, and show every body you are jewish not by yelling it, but by living!!! HaShem will take care of the rest!

yeah sure, wanna be's to what? the most hated, and persecuted people in the world, if they are all about going to Israel, maybe you are right, but if you do not know the intention of the heart, why do you replace HaShem? Ignorance is a very good excuse.

NONSENSE! - bola de wanna-be's. You ain't Jews, nor descendant of any Jew. You just want to fit. Get it. You're just a bunch of goyim.

My family also suffered and was denied its portion the olam habah because of the inquisition. We still feel the persecution to this day. Even now my family feels ashamed about being Jewish. How very sad.

May Tomas de Torquemada of Spain roast in Hell forever for murdering and persecuting my ancestors!

Tom'as de Torquemada,The First Grand Inquistor of Spain was a fanatical zealous mass murderer of my ancestors! He ordered the sadistic tourture and execution of many Jews in Spain who did not convert to Catholicism during the late 1400s.

Yes I'm Canadian and a decent fellow :) now living in Sefarad, I know many Anusim and I help them as much as I can regarding Judaism. The Anusim are prove that the Inquisition was beaten because they are here returning to the House of Israel, Amen!
