Talk:History of the Jews in Brazil

[Untitled]

It is always forgotten the history and the importance of many Sphardic Jews that lived in Brazil all the time during the colonization. I am not talking about the jews of Dutch Brazil, I am talking about the other jews that lived in Brazil between the end of Dutch rule and the Independence Declaration. They escaped from the persecution that was taken up in the Iberian Peninsula and lived as "Crypto-Judeus" in the colony.This article also forgets the great number of Marranos, New-Christians (Cristãos Novos) that lived in Brazil since the start of the colonization, people of truly jewish origin, that lived an persecuted life in that country, and do not mention they is ignore their fight and battle through the times. For example, New-Christians are openly discriminated, including the own king of Portugal advised members of his court to never marry a person with New-Christian blood(inspite of this, we can also remember that the kings of the Bragança Dinasty have an ancient jewish ancestor, Inês Pires). The people of jewish origin were prohibited to occupy public charges like, for example, to be a member of a municipal chamber. This article simply ignore the existence of these jewish citzens, that is a pain, it remembers just a moment in colonial brazilian history and the recent history of the arrival of Jews in Brazil. I would like to make clear my protest, because it is a great historical crime forget these people, this article do not remember that they have descendants, that some of these descendants are attempting to rebuild their past consciense. Forgoting the colonial jewish ancestors in a powerful knowledge vehicle is to say to these past researchers that their ancestors have no importance in the brazilian jewish history, is like saying that there was not these people in the past. Excuse me, but this forgetfulness is an offence to all who descend from these jews. Please, would be a great pleasure to have this important part of our past registered in this magnificent encyclopedia.

News Christians on Colonial Era

It's sad to see how the "new christians", the first jews to arrive in Brazil, are constantly ignored. Running from inquisition, hoping on a more peaceful life in a new land - and later persecuted right here, in Brazil, forced to be converted or die - and even being killed anyway. The families Cardozo, Almeida, Gomes, Lobo, Sá, Coelho, Martins, Oliveira, Cerqueira, many of their descendents secretly among us. A bloody history, that becames more and more painful as it is forgotten.

During the first times of colonization (1500-1700) Portugal used the new colony for the "degredo", a place to sent all the "degredados", or the unwanted. Somes sources cites that an absurd number (40%) of degredados were new-christians. Degregados formed near 80% of the population of northeast places like Maranhão. The b'nei anusim presence in northeast Brazil is very significative even nowadays.

I don't understand why we must face resistance even among the jews. The ashkenazi jews, who arrived here in much more favourable situation with freedom of judaism and dominates the jewish organizations as clubs, libraries etc., they refuse to accept the sephardic crypto-jews descendants as jews. They say we should be verified by a rabbinical court, but there are no ones in Brazil, and the b'nei anusim, unlike many of the ashkenazis who arrived here in the last century (mainly in rich states like Rio or São Paulo), have no financial conditions for such travels. In fact, some seems "unconfortable" to recognize that many of us nordestinos - the poorer region of Brazil and the most sufferes of regional prejudice here - are, in fact, jews. They do not want theses jews to come back.

Brazil was made by the Jews?

And not by the Portuguese, the Africans, or the Italians? This statement is absurd and should be removed. Ninguém (talk) 02:57, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Capitalization of the initials of the term "judeu brasileiro"

Hi. I've made a minor change regarding the capital initials of "judeu brasileiro", since words denoting nationality, ethnicity and religion are NOT written with capitalized initial letters in Portuguese. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wthwiki (talk • contribs) 07:41, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
