one christian priest proihibited jews from doing this saying that they were not allowed in house of lord cause they didnt believe in christ and only did it to be accepted by the community, i think it was pretty cool from the priest to stop this non sense, he was in fact helping them for them to be what they where and not do things they didnt believe in

portuguese jews dont understand hiddisdh or ladino anymore, they dont know sephardic culture, and eat any food, milk with ham if its served, they dont understand hebrew, and in every town and village theres small reminder of who they are, its called the jewish alleys where jews where locked with 3 mters gates after midnight in jammed infested alleys called judieirias... so for anusim to do the return is confusing, there was no place on earth like iberic peninsula, inkisition-hardcore

people need to understand that for jews let in portugal they know nothing about their people, their culture, their religion they where told since birth they are christians and thats it, most dont believe in anything and yet they know they are jews and whats a jew, for a portuguese its a people who nobody likes and everyone wants to kill and destroy, why should any portuguese jew be proud of something they dont understand, portugal proihibited judaism, portuguese inkisition burned tortured people

@badsign1980 Being Jewish is Beautiful.You are chosen by God.You are special to Him.You have first place in His heart.He is the creator,just think, first place in the creators mind,heart,eyes.You may go through a lot of hard times, but be paitent and wait, in the end it will all be worth it if you just keep your faith in Him. : ) to be portuguese is beautiful too...Abraham was a friend of God because he trusted in Him. you do the same.

I love the Jewish people no matter where you're from.

@MikJFr you our proud so why do you write jewish capital? I m just joking! it is great to be jew but it is also great to be a non jew still belonging to the people of isrä'el guess how it can be? it is the only way since only the promissed people are the chosen search and you'll find this is true thanks for this great music!

@badsign1980 Oh dear oh dear, it shocks me to hear you're embarrassed at being Jewish! Is today's Portugal anti-Semitic? (Or anti-Israeli, masking what is really anti-Semitism?)

ALWAYS be proud of being Jewish! (My own ancestors came from Portugal, but became Ashkenazim after moving to Germany.)

And what lovely music, too!
