NM In Focus - Story of the Jews
This week we present a companion piece to the national program "The Story of the Jews," which airs beginning March 25th. This segment features an interview with Dr. Isabelle Medina Sandoval, poet and descendant of crypto-Jews.
NMiF Producer Megan Kamerick focuses on the experience of conversos or "crypto-Jews" in New Mexico. In 1492, the Edict of Expulsion launched the diaspora of Sephardic Jews from Spain. Many found their way to the New World, including New Mexico, although they could not openly practice their religion. Dr. Frances Levine, director of the New Mexico History Museum, and historian Roger Martínez-Dávila flesh out the history of these people and their role in New Mexico heritage and identity. Sonya Loya, an artisan and educator who has recovered her family's secret Jewish past, discusses her personal journey and conversion to Judaism.

My uncle Ed lived and retired in New Mexico. This was unusual since his sister,my mother, lived in Montreal, Que. We always lived amongst Jews.
My last name is Loya I am 38. I recently converted in 2017 now at first I called it Judaism like Sonya in this video. Today I have a better understanding and call myself a Natsarim. Judaism there is no Jesus. Natsarims were the first group after Yahusha died to continue to walk as he walked. I still honor feast days, Shabbat and the holy name of the Most High. In just recently this year I bumped into a Loya at Walmart that that I know is a cousin just never met him in person. I began talking to him and found out our family was persecuted in during the Spanish Inquisition and migrated to Mexico and was kicked out or drove out from there and relocated in Texas.
