In the Shadow of History: Jews and Conversos at the Dawn of Modernity

Description

Every book is autobiographic and this one is no exception. It actually began about half a century ago, when my grandfather, Joseph Faur, would tell me tales about Sepharad (Jewish Spain and Portugal), the wisdom and splendor of its academies and sages, and the beautiful houses and gardens bursting with flowers, sun, and songs. From him I first heard about the foes and friends of the Jews, and about the anusim (the forced), the conversos (converts) to Christianity. I quickly learned that some were good and noble, and others treacherous and wicked; all, however, were Jews. A Friday afternoon, when I must have been ten or twelve, I heard in the synagogue Rabbi ben-Lolo telling Rabbi Isaac Mohadeb, "Who do you think the ten lost tribes behind the [mystical] River Sambation are? These are the anusim that one day will cross the River and join us."
