Aliyah!: The Exodus Continues

This is a two-fold rendition of history and traditions relating to Hispanic/Latinos with a Sephardic Jewish heritage. It tracks the family of a famous Sephardic Jew, Don Luis de Carvajal and his extended family across Spain and Portugal into Mexico and the Southwest of the USA. It reveals the ugliness of the Inquisitions tortures that were used to convert them to Roman Catholicism and how the Spanish Inquisition was transplanted into Mexico City with tentacles across all of Latin America including New Mexico. The second part of this book categorizes ten lists of Sephardic surnames that intersect with many of todays Hispanic Jews of the Southwest. It reveals practices, customs and terms that were traditional to them for many centuries.
