Over the centuries, the first act that Jews performed after moving into a new area was to establish and dedi cate a cemetery. To honor and care for the dead was considered the greatest of all Mitzvot-positive acts following God's commandments. In 1881, pioneering Jews of Las Vegas, New Mexico, founded a small cemetery at the far outskirts of the town. Today, over a century later, the Montefiore Cemetery is incorporated into the town along with cemeteries of organizations such as the Masons. The names and histories of the men, women and children of Las Vegas Jewry are found on the stones in this graveyard. Unfortunately, vandalism has destroyed much of that great historic site. Jews today are attempting to preserve the cemetery and to prevent further vandalism. This booklet is about the Montefiore Cemetery, established by New Mexico's first Jewish congregation, and the efforts of past and present generations of Jews and non-Jews to maintain our precious connection with Jewish history. Thank you for reading this work and seeing the pictures of a proud chapter in New Mexico Jewish history. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 250.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In 1981, while working as New Mexico State Historian, Stanley M. Hordes began to hear stories of Hispanos who lit candles on Friday night and abstained from eating pork. Puzzling over the matter, Hordes realized that these practices might very well have been passed down through the centuries from early crypto-Jewish settlers in New Spain. After extensive research and hundreds of interviews, Hordes concluded that there was, in New Mexico and the Southwest, a Sephardic legacy derived from the converso community of Spanish Jews.…

Hardback. Zustand: New. In 1981, while working as New Mexico State Historian, Stanley M. Hordes began to hear stories of Hispanos who lit candles on Friday night and abstained from eating pork. Puzzling over the matter, Hordes realized that these practices might very well have been passed down through the centuries from early crypto-Jewish settlers in New Spain. After extensive research and hundreds of interviews, Hordes concluded that there was, in New Mexico and the Southwest, a Sephardic legacy derived from the converso community of Spanish Jews. In To the End of the Earth, Hordes explores the remarkable story of crypto-Jews and the tenuous preservation of Jewish rituals and traditions in Mexico and New Mexico over the past five hundred years. He follows the crypto-Jews from their Jewish origins in medieval Spain and Portugal to their efforts to escape persecution by migrating to the New World and settling in the far reaches of the northern Mexican frontier.Drawing on individual biographies (including those of colonial officials accused of secretly practicing Judaism), family histories, Inquisition records, letters, and other primary sources, Hordes provides a richly detailed account of the economic, social and religious lives of crypto-Jews during the colonial period and after the annexation of New Mexico by the United States in 1846. While the American government offered more religious freedom than had the Spanish colonial rulers, cultural assimilation into Anglo-American society weakened many elements of the crypto-Jewish tradition. Hordes concludes with a discussion of the reemergence of crypto-Jewish culture and the reclamation of Jewish ancestry within the Hispano community in the late twentieth century. He examines the publicity surrounding the rediscovery of the crypto-Jewish community and explores the challenges inherent in a study that attempts to reconstruct the history of a people who tried to leave no documentary record.…
