Reaching out to descendants of conversos

By Ashley Perry

Reconectar (reconnect in Spanish and Portuguese) is an organization which reconnects the descendants of Spanish and Portuguese Jews compelled to become Roman Catholic more than 500 years ago – known as bnai anusim in Hebrew or conversos in Spanish – with the Jewish people today. Ashley Perry, president of Reconectar, said, “Every day I receive tens or hundreds of emails from people around the world who know or have discovered that they have Jewish ancestry, and they are seeking solutions to reconnect to the Jewish people.”
