I know my Brazilian cousins are half-Jewish, but that's only because we're related through the (Ashkenazi) Jewish-American side of the family. I once attended a lecture about the Jews of colonial Brazil though. Interestingly, when the Dutch conquered northeast Brazil during part of the 17th Century, some "conversos" reverted to Judaism and supported the Dutch, but many others remained Catholic and supported Portugal. My Brazilian aunt has never claimed Jewish descent, but she can boast Portuguese, African and Dutch. (Apparently even in defeat, some Dutch couldn't bear to leave!)

The Old Testament is just the foreshadowing (or prefigurement) of the coming of Christ. Christ is the fulfillment. To ask how Jewish are Latinos is like asking, "How foreshadowing is Christianity? The question does not make sense.

leapdrive, so is asking a Jew how Jewish he is also pointless because any Jew is practically a Christian anyway? Your logic only makes sense if you presuppose and accept ad priori the proposition that Christianity is true and correct and Judaism and Jews exist only through the conceptualization of Christianity. But for a person who doesn’t subscribe to Christianity, to ask the question how Jewish is any specific Latino, makes perfect sense because Jewish genetic legacy is not incumbent on Christianity. It might surprise you, but Judaism and Jews existed before Christianity, and Judaism and Jews do exist outside of the conceptualizations of Christianity.

I’m glad to see more people paying attention to this subject. This is something my family has known for generations. I’m from Monterrey in northern Mexico with family and ancestors in Tamaulipas and Texas. Even our language has traces of Ladino, and is very similar to some Andalusian dialects. Finally this year the local university in South Texas was awarded a grant to study the language of South Texas. The Sephardic people built an entirely new culture here to pass as Criollos and survive, with many generations forgetting their Jewish roots. Most people who embrace their ancestry convert to Messianic Judaism, Jews who believe in Jesus, basically. Others convert to Judaism and others don’t alter their faith but embrace their past and ancestry. Yet, the vast majority totally ignores their ancestry.

it is important to note that the term "Ladino" to describe the language of the Sephardic Jews is quite new and is a technical term. The Sephardim who still speak the language refer to the language as "Djudyo", "Espanyol", "Espanyol Muestro", or "Djudyo Espanyol" rather than "Ladino" (which means "Latin" in the Sephardic language, possibly reflecting the split of the population from Iberia before people started identifying their language as "Spanish" instead of the continuation of Vulgar Latin)

As an Andean Colombian I agree with this. I’m surprised you didn’t talk about noche de las velitas.

Just an FYI to a few commentators who have posted a few comments mentioning that such and such surname is Jewish, including one who said Oliveira and another who said Martínez, and so on. These are NOT Jewish last names. These are Old Christian last names (Oliveira is Portuguese and Galician, while Martínez is Castilian) which can ALSO be carried by descendants of New Christians. That fact, that these Old Christian last names, and all others like them, can (and most often are) carried by Sephardic Jews (as well as by Sephardic converts to Christianity and their descendants) does NOT make these last names New Christian last names, and it especially doesn’t make them Jewish last name. They are Old Christian last names in origin. There is a common misconception (by people searching for Jewish ancestors in their genealogy) that certain last names are Jewish. Let’s be clear, very few (an insignificantly tiny amount to be realistic about it) last names are specifically Jewish, mostly last names like Cohen and the like which are Hebrew in origin depicting a status in the Jewish religion. The majority of Jew do not, and did not carry specifically Jewish last names. So it’s futile to look only at last names to prove Jewish ancestry. A last name, at most, can only give you some hints as to whether your family was more likely than not to have been Jewish. But it cannot confirm it. With that, you then go and do further research. The vast majority of Sephardic Jews, as well as all Sephardic Jewish converts to Christianity (and their descendants), do NOT carry Jewish last names. They carry Old Christian last names in their majority. Thus, carrying a last name that a known Sephardic Jew or a known converso carried means nothing, because that last name was itself overwhelmingly more than likely to have been an Old Christian last name in any event, and thus it cannot by itself indicate Jewishness, not even for the known Jew or known converso who is carrying it, much less for those who are trying to figure out if their ancestors were Jews or conversos. Sephardic Jews and conversos deliberately adopted Old Christian last names, such as Oliveira and Martínez, precisely because of the fact that these last names were Old Christian last name and as such they would afford the new bearers (whether Jewish or conversos) anonymity to blur their family histories and pedigrees (as opposed to carrying a last name like Cohen, which definitely would be a sure indicator to an anti-Semitic neighbors or an inquisitor that this or that person or family is of Jewish origin). Almost all so-called Sephardic last names are NOT Jewish at all. Almost all of them are simply Old Christian last names which were adopted in the way described above, to the point that they became overwhelmingly carried by Sephardic Jews and conversos, hence some specific Old Christian last names started to be associated with New Christians. This phenomenon is not new. The same happed to Ashkenazi Jews. When Ashkenazim adopted last names (more recently than Sephardim did), many were already pre-existing surnames originating with Christian Germans. Last names such as Goldberg and Mueller are NOT Jewish. Yes, they are carried by Ashkenazi Jews, sometimes overwhelmingly so, but this is because the Ashkenazi bearers of these last names adopted them on purpose specifically to blur their Jewish origin. People in Germany know these surnames are simply German names also now carried by Jews. But in America, the assumption is, as with so many German last names, that more often than not (especially in the northeast in NY and NJ, and people in the entertainment industry), these German surnames are often carried overwhelmingly by Ashkenazi Jews, to the point where when a gentile German of Christian origin with the same name is encountered, an American wrongly assumes the German must be Jewish because he has a German or German sounding last name. This happens because in a country with a prominent Ashkenazi population can lead people to automatically and mistakenly assume that someone with a German surname like Goldberg must be Jewish, forgetting that the last name is itself gentile German in origin. The same is true of Spanish and Portuguese last names. It is Sephardic Jews and converso descendants who carry adopted Old Christian last names, not the other way around.

Jews traditionally used a naming system...you were known as "So-and-so the son of So-and-so". I heard that in Hungary at some point the Jews were amassed and divided into 4 groups to be given last names: Klein =small Gross =large Schwartz =black Weiss =white The only Jewish last names really used before then usually actually designated something religiously...either that they were the descendant of a very famous prominent historical Rabbi, that they were a Kohen (priest), Levite (Temple attendant), convert or a bastard born of an affair.

Goldberg is as Jewish as it gets. That's definitely not a name that could be used to blend in into Germany or even hide your Jewish identity. Simply because it's a rare occupation (gold trade) to begin with and also a very Jewish one. Goldmann and Goldschmidt on the other hand are common German names that are also carried by Jews. Interesting are also names like Nußbaum and Birnbaum, which aren't native to Germany and are literal translations of Spanish/Portuguese "Jewish" names. Those names likely came from Jews fleeing the Inquisition via the Netherlands.

@@tropicalcanard8276 Traditionally Jews did not have last names, they called themselves "so and so son of so and so." Somewhere along the line, many of them were forced to get the last name. The wealthy ones cold get nice names that meant things like gold stone, gold mountain, silver stone, silver stone, rose water, etc. The ones with less money got names that meant "Black", "stone, "big," "little" and so forth. So if you know what the words mean, you can know what the income level of their ancestors was when this decree we3nt down. However, some (the very religious) did not have last names until they came to the USA. Or wherever it had become mandatory.

I love learning more about my own history. While I'm also half Ashkenazi, my Sephardic ancestory is a curious part of my DNA especially considering that, although my father's half of the family eventually converted in the 1800's to Catholicism, they did evade the inquisition for a good 300 years by joining the british on their way to central america. Despite all that, apparently one of my ancestors decided to swap to for marriage so, in a way, I'm the first since that ancestor to be born Jewish. Although, my dad did kina beat me cause he converted before I was born

Those Jews identify more with Mizrahi culture, whereas the ones from the Iberian peninsula view themselves as sephardic. The Sephardi settled mostly in the north of the country and kept Spanish customs and language. The original Moroccan Jewish community was more present in the country and south. Even when they migrated to other places they kept this separation. Each group had their own synagogue where I was born, for example. However, as the community was very small, intermixing was bound to happen and this separation is practically nonexistent nowadays. Both cultures combined, so we have couscous with fijuellas, Spanish words with Arabic pronunciation etc.

I’d be interested in seeing you break down the demographic of Mexico- specifically including the Jewish distribution that is often overlooked. In Los Altos de Jalisco (Aguascalientes And Zacatecas) we often detail our appearance as being influenced by the French invasion, but we don’t look French. Northern Mexico has a mixture of Spaniard, Irish and Aglo influences more I’d say, they consider themselves whiter than the rest of the countyand reference to us in Guadalajara- Los Altos-Bajio-Mexico City as just Meztisos while the south is regarded and indigenous. Once in Zacatecas at a gas station Gypsy (Húngaras) approached us to do a reading, and got me thinking about Roma influence as well as Sefardic influence in my genealogical part of the word.

It is readily known that when Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain pushed out the muslims, they also exported the jewish people - unless they converted to catholicism. It was those portions of Spanish America, and the Philippines that the jewry were shipped. This is easily said by many Filipinos/Filipinas of my acquaintance that they know that their ancestry was jewry, and in the Philippines that they eventually acculturated into the catholic faith. So with Spain and Portugal exporting their high numbers of jewry, all such Central and South American nations have their portions of jewry from Mexico down to Chile of the west coat nations, ... and Mexico to Brazil to Argentina east coast nations.

Very informative video. Crypto-Jews was not the only term referring to people of Sephardic Jewish heritage in the New World who were openly Catholic, but secretly practiced Judaism. They were often referred to as "Maranos", which is a slang term for "pigs". The problem with commercial genetic testing is that the genetic markers that are typically considered "Jewish" are mainly found in Jews of Ashkenazi background. If a commercial genetic test says that someone is not "Jewish", what it really means is that the person does not have any Ashkenazi Jewish genetic markers. If you know of any genetic tests that have established Sephardic genetic markers, I would appreciate the info.

However, one critique: I had heard it said that the reason many Hispanics have Levant and N. African decent is not just due to Sephardi and Arab influences, but to Phoenician settles from the Levant and the Carthaginian Empire, who had been in Iberia long before Arabs and Jews (as far as archaeology's proven). This however is not an attempt to discredit Sephardi Jewish and Arab/Berber descent among modern day Hispanic, my grandmother has Converso descent (which seems to be common among older Criollo families via oral telling," which you mentioned ) , and there are isolated cases of entire communities such as the Xuetas from the Majorca or the small town of Belmonte in Portugal, who have been recognized by the Israeli Rabbinate as Halachicly Jewish without need of formal Orthodox conversions. And surely every Hispanic person today can claim some degree of descent from either a Jewish or Arab person (or both) from 500 years ago. Thank you!
