Broken Promises The Dismantling of the Spanish Law of Return ,American Sephardi Federation 5.8.2021

Intervención Conferencia American Sephardi Federation 5 agosto 2021

Following-up on the New York Times’ exposé, join the American Sephardi Federation for an exclusive briefing on the situation in Spain as the ruling Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE) bureaucratically dismantles the Sephardic citizenship law, betraying Spain’s promise to atone for the Alhambra Decree and the horrors of the Inquisition. The event took place on 5 August at 1PM EDT and featured:

• Sara Koplik, Ph.D., Director of the Sephardic Heritage Program, Jewish Federation of New Mexico
• Jason Guberman, Executive Director American Sephardi Federation
• Rabbi Dr. Rob Lennick, CEO Jewish Federation of New Mexico
• The Honorable Teresa Leger Fernandez (NM-3)
• Genie Milgrom, President of Tarbut Sefarad - Fermoselle, Spain; Outgoing President of Society for Crypto-Judaic Studies
• Jason Silva, Emmy-nominated filmmaker, philosopher, influencer, and futurist
• Professor Emeritus Don Arnulfo Ramirez of Louisiana State University
• Professor Cristina Miriam Ramirez
• Dr. Cesar David Ciriano Vela, Spanish immigration attorney

Tens of thousands of Inquisition survivor descendants are now being cynically rejected or even cruelly having their citizenship revoked, after investing years of time and money to comply with Spain’s rigorous application process. The Spanish government’s illegal actions are a fresh insult to historical injury, especially for the Anusim (Crypto-Jews), those who are no longer Jewish on account of the forced conversion and centuries of persecution endured by their ancestors.
This is a matter of life and death for Venezuelan Sephardic refugees in Spain, who have already been threatened with deportation.

Join the ASF for a timely discussion with those directly involved and please add your name to our #SpainPromsies campaign demanding Spain’s government uphold the rule of law by honoring its promises to descendants of Inquisition survivors.

An integral partner of and based at New York’s Center for Jewish History, the American Sephardi Federation represents Greater Sephardic voices in Jewish communal and diplomatic affairs as a member of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations and World Jewish Congress.
