- A beautiful story about Hannah Eyal, a 33 year old from Porto, Portugal who found her grandmothers necklace of a Jewish star only to find out she comes from a 500 year history of Bnei Anousim, Secret Jews, also known as conversos. Hannah is now married to an Israeli and is an advocate for helping others finding out their centuries' old family history.

Eu sou portuguesa de belmonte e somos judeos novos cristianos. E sentimos sempre no coraçao que somos judeos na alma e espirito. Bravo ❤❤
My ancestry is Puerto Rican for many generations. Thank you for sharing your story! It inspires hope. I can relate clearly to several parts of it. The mezuzah sweeping custom, the covering of mirrors after a family member's death, the kissing of bread before throwing it away, the Diaz surname, Iberian ancestry ( I still have DNA distant cousins in Portugal and others in Brazil), the love for the people of Israel ( I also love the G-d of Israel). I pray that someday HaShem will grant my return as well. Todah rabah & shalom to your family!
Very interesting. Thanks for you message. Sending love. There is actually a woman in israel who has an organization called bneianousim.org. What is you contact email. I can have her speak to you if you are interested. Also on my channel you’ll see a lot of stuff on kabbalah. Are you on Facebook ?
@@EmilyFrancesHolyLand Ms. Frances, I realize that I was not paying attention to who posted this RUclips video when I sent my message. I thought that I was messaging Hannah Eyal. At any rate, I am very grateful that an "award winning on-Air Talent and journalist" like yourself would actually take the time to help me. Thank you for the link and yes I am interested in communicating with anyone who can help guide me on my journey! Shalom, Gratefully, Nelson
Same here I grew up in Portugal and didn’t learn nothing about the inquisition and Jews in Portugal and recently discovered that I descend from Sephardic Jews
@MacLevisteinwow 😮lovely story it’s sad to know that our family had to sacrifice themselves just for the sake of survival and thanks to their effort today we are here alive as Sephardic Bnei Anusim, therefore is our responsibility to abstain ourselves from Christianity and other fake religions instead, we have to go back to Judaism, observe the Shabbat and become monotheistic!
Baruch HaShem me and my family are going to the synagogue every Shabbat and doing our best to have Jewish friends also we developed a love for Eretz Yisrael because we become happy to know that we are not gentiles but instead we are the miracle and chosen nation Baruch HaShem 🕎✡️🙏🏽
Same here. Discovered through DNA tests that I’m 12% Jewish and the rest Portuguese. A good channel to learn about this is Dr. Henry Abramson’s on RUclips.
Some of the bnei anusim left for England and France which were not under Catholic rule during the Inquesition. Some of their descendants came to early North America and erected the first synagogues in the US, Sephardic temples. I hope we are remembered and welcomed also. I have an ancestor from Spain who was burned alive for keeping his Jewish faith, one who converted to Catholocism and betrayed his own family, and another who helped put up the first synagogue in the deep south, in Savannah, Georgia. I thank her for sharing her story. The more of us who share our experiences, the more we can find the relief that comes with the answers to what were our family secrets.
in the northeast of Portugal there are villages like Carçao, Argoselos, Vimioso .... where the people are almost all descendants
of Jews, very surprising to see that they kept the customs after several centuries ✡️🕎
Jamaican dancehall artist Sean Paul is of portugese jewish ancestry on his father's side, his birth name is Sean Paul Francis Henriques, his sephardic jewish great grandfather came from portugal to jamaica in the 17th century
Brazil is the country with most Anusim descendants. Brazil was actually built by them.
Yup, same customs in my family in Brazil. My maternal side of the family has arrived in Brazil a very long time ago. And yes, DNA - specially mtdna - can answer a lot of questions. Am Israel Chai!
I just had an oh my God moment when she talked about kissing the bread before throwing it away! my parents made us do that.
My parents are from Madeira emigrating to South Africa in the 60s we still live here, my parents always had a love for Jewish people that I could never understand why, until I met and had Jewish friends.
There is a strong bias in our family in favour for the state of Israel and Jews in particular.
My parents always taught us that God has blessed us through the line of Abraham and the Hebrews/Jews., blessed all nations that way.
May Hashem bless her and her family and all the Jews of the world!
Thank you and Baruch Hashem!
My maiden name was VAZ which is Portuguese. This is so relatable to me. Thank you for this 🙏✡️🇮🇱
Same. My mother side is majority of Portuguese born in Brazil. Nominal catholics who never attended catholic masses and had specific “weird” habits. Later on I found out that they are from a jewish lineage. It’s sad that many people share a similar story but because they are indiferente to their family history they will never find out the truth.
She is so beautiful
She's so pretty
I had the same experience in feeling my own history in the language and such happiness with the language and culture, feeling so at home.
Me too my family from Portugal to Brazil
Shalom, can I ask you some questions
I also felt coming home when I landed in Israel…….
Probably more than one quarter of the Portuguese people have some Jewish ancestry.
How did the name not bring suspicion? Hannah Eyal is not a Portuguese name by any means, and Eyal definitely sounds middle eastern/turkish, so it would indicate some ancestry from that part of the world.
Probably Eyal is her married name.
@@olterigo what about Hannah instead of Ana?
@@DiogoJordan I don't know anything about her, but I am not sure whether the name she was given at birth was Hannah. Sometimes, people change their names.
Eyal is hebrew it means fawn

❤ Shalom
I am a German Jew who is 71 years old .
Here is the problem, many many people have ancestors who were Jewish, hundreds and hundreds of years ago no question we made up 20% of the Roman Empire but that does not mean they are Jewish secrect or otherwise.. the majority of the famed (real) crypto Jewish communitys in Braganza and Belmonte did not and have not returned to Judaism
The Jews got into Iberia together with the invasion by the Otaman Empire. A bunch of opportunists...
Wrong. Read history books please.
