Jewish Lisbon and Portugal
Hosted By: Qesher
Join us on a virtual tour through the Jewish heritage of Lisbon, Portugal; a presence that dates back to the Roman era. This visit will allow you to understand the living Jewish community in Lisbon and learn about their history, their traditions and their everyday life. For centuries after the expulsion, many “conversos” kept practicing their faith in strict secrecy, and the most famous example are the Belmonte Jews, who until recently lived as a strictly isolated community. We will make a detour in our journey to learn about them and about the rapidly growing community of Porto.
Participants can choose to contribute $9, $18 or $36
This talk is live and interactive, the number of participants is limited. With your contribution to Qesher you will also be donating to the “Associação Israelita de Beneficência Somej Nophlim – Amparo dos Pobres”. This association was created in 1876 and has helped several Jews and non-Jews to stay out of poverty, especially during WWII.
