About this listen
In Converso Jews: A Hidden Family Story, the author, Gordon Blitz, offers a dual storyline following Jews who practiced their faith in secret during the period of the Inquisition and the current love story of Isaac and Pablo, a Sephardic Jew and a Catholic who meet at a gay Jewish synagogue. We ultimately encounter people of faith who are attempting to uncover their converso heritage trying to explain why their families have continued to practice certain traditions for the last five hundred years without understanding why.
And if that was not enough, we follow Pablo who goes through the coming out process after his parents want to disown him and, with Isaac’s blessing, decides to convert to Judaism. For those of you who liked The Last Jew by Noah Gordon or The Silver Candlesticks by Linda Chávez, you will enjoy Converso Jews: A Hidden Family Story.
