Music Among the Crypto-Jews of Portugal: An Almost-Vanished World
Hosted By: Qesher
Qesher presents a look into the lives of Portugal’s Crypto-Jews, focusing on the early 20th-century “discovery” of Jewish communities in Belmonte and Tras-os-Montes who had lived in cultural isolation for centuries. The session will explore how songs and prayers shaped both religious and secular life, based on firsthand interviews. It then shifts to the modern era, examining how the internet and social media have transformed these traditions and communities.
