101. Kulanu: Honour Our Portuguese Sephardi Ancestors We, the sephardi Jews, and the Portuguese Catholics, share the same forefathers, the noble house of Israel, King David, King Solomon . . .how proud our http://www.kulanu.org/portugal/sephardi.html

Honour our Portuguese Sephardi ancestors Rufina Bernardetti Da Silva Mausenbaum My father always called me by my first name, Rufina, the name of his mother, the one who had suffered so much humiliation and shame for keeping the 'Antepura' (Yom Kippur). She kept it by disappearing for a whole day and night by going into the fields, so that she could fast, he was extremely proud of her because of her determination to maintain the religion of our ancestors against all odds. Rufina, he told me, meant Ruth, and that she came from a very 'good' family, meaning Jewish. Growing up in South Africa, Rufina sounded very 'foreign' and so, outside my home, I was called by my second name, Bernardetti (blessed), taken from an italian source. Unhappily. I only looked up the meaning of that precious name, Rufina, after my fathers death in 1982. I traced it in the Encyclopaedia Judaica and learnt that it was used between the 2nd and 3rd centuries, written in Greek, and described her to have been the 'mother' or 'president' of the synagogue in Smyrna, Turkey. Once more, I understood the very specialness and tenderness of always calling me by my inherited name. At that time, growing up in Cape Town, South Africa, I had often wondered why we never discussed these secret issues and practices openly. How naive I was, thinking as the young often do, to have all the answers; ready to 'take on' the Jewish community, the Portuguese government, in fact, the whole world, yet, when I converted to orthodox judaism, I never mentioned our 'family secrets,' sticking to the ever unmentioned rule of secrecy within our closed family circle. Would anyone have believed me then, as even now, a most unlikely situation very few can comprehend. would the rabbis of the Beth Din (Jewish Judicial Council) have known about the crypto-Jewish phenomenon? I doubt it.

Council of the Sephardi and Oriental Communities in Jerusalem Tradition has it that The Council of the Sephardi and Oriental Communities in Jerusalem was founded as early as 1267 by the famous Jewish scholar Rabbi Moses ben Nahman (known as the Ramban ). The Council has continuously operated in Jerusalem since then, and its contribution to the development of the Jewish sector of the city has been highly significant. The present chairman of the Council is Mr. Yehezkel Zakai. The Council comprises a number of committees, each of which specializes in a certain field of activity. Members of the various committees act on an absolutely voluntary basis and are required to devote much time and effort to the promotion of projects entrusted to them. Listed below are the major committees operating under the aegis of the Council and their respective domains of activity: Welfare committee Scholarships committee Immigration and Absorption committee The Ribaz committee - reconstructs, preserves and operates the four Rabban Yohanan ben Zakai Synagogues at the Jewish Quarter of the old town of Jerusalem.

Tying Tzitzith (according to Nusach Sephardi) Step 1. Gather together the four white ends and insert them in the corner of the garment... A WORD FROM BEGED IVRI W e are taught that if all the Jews would keep but two Sabbaths we would usher in the Messianic Era. Forty eight years ago the Jewish people kept the first of those two Sabbaths, we call it Hakamat Hamidinah (the establishment of the State of Israel). What stands before us is the second Sabbath, the Great and Holy Sabbath in which, once again, all the Jewish people, in one mind and of one spirit, will come together to build the Holy Third Temple. W e are a generation that is writing a Bible story, the final book of Ta'anach. We are the generation that is fulfilling the ancient prophecies. We are the generation that returned - upright - to our Land. We made Aliyah, we returned from the far corners of the earth to Jerusalem. A liyah, however, does not stop with bringing your physical bodies, families, and assets to Eretz Yisrael. We came here because, when we were children in Hebrew School and in Sunday School, and we heard for the first time Bible stories, stories of David and the Maccabees, Devorah and Esther, we had a dream. A pure and holy dream, the dream of a child to be a King David, to be an Esther. And as we grew up we learned that there existed a State of Israel, and we took concept to reality and made Aliyah, and then some of us stopped dreaming. We became Israeli rather than Israelite. We need yet to complete the process of Aliyah, Aliyah of mindset.

Though I am not Jewish, I enjoy your posts, and think you have a delightful sense of humor! Blessings and thanks. Dear Jo Anne Crowson, After the Destruction of the First Temple, around 450 BCE, the Jews were exiled to Babylon (modern day Iraq). After the 70-year exile many returned. However, the majority of the Jews did not return, preferring Babylon instead. The Jews in Israel were again exiled in 70 CE, this time by the Romans. The Roman exile created communities in Europe and North Africa. The European communities were mainly in France, Spain and Rome, some in Germany as well. The Jews in France and Germany became known as Ashkenazim (Hebrew for "Germans") and the Jews in Spain became known as
