The B'nai Anusim
Rabbi Philippe has participated in the conferences focused on the B’nai Anusim (Crypto-Jews), has developed close friendships with them, and has prepared some of the first teenagers who returned to Judaism for their Bar Mitzvahs. Recently he was in Nicaragua as part of the bet din for the conversion of 114 people, mostly B'nai Anusim.
The B'nai Anusim (Crypto-Jews), or Conversos (previously known as "Marranos"), are the descendants of the hundreds of thousands of Sephardic Jews who were forced to convert to Christianity and ultimately expelled from Spain and Portugal during the Spanish Inquisition 500 years ago. Many were tortured or killed. |

In the 17th century, the B'nai Anusim hoped to secretly practice their religion away from Spain and Portugal. They sailed to Mexico as colonizers, eventually settling in the remote mountains of New Mexico, far from the grasp of Spanish authorities and the Inquisition.
Over the centuries, knowledge of their heritage faded. But a few still clung to some forms of Judaism through symbols and rites. In the last two decades, however, many B'nai Anusim have discovered their Jewish roots and have become passionate about the Jewish heritage that was taken from them for so long.
