Hi! I’m Sephardic, specifically the kind that was from Portugal and then went to Amsterdam around 1493. I went through your blog but didn’t see anything from this community specifically. Do you have any photos of them? I have one thing from that side of the family, a small gold hamsa with a tiny green emerald in the middle from my grandmother and it was her grandmother’s. But would love to learn more. Thanks so much for all you do!
In the late 15th century, Spain and Portugal expelled their large Jewish population and many Jews found refuge in the Balkans and North Africa. However, as the political situation across Europe shifted, new opportunities for Jewish settlement materialized, particularly Holland, which emerged from the 80 year Wars of Spanish Succession as an independent nation in 1648.
Article XIII of the Treaty of Utrecht, which ratified the union of the northern provinces, declared that no one was to be prosecuted for his religious beliefs. This clause provided the legal basis upon which Jews immediately began to take up residence and seek recognition in Holland. In 1604 a certain Manuel Rodrigues de Vega petitioned the city’s burgomasters to be allowed to establish silk mills there along with two other Portuguese Jews. Eventually, Sephardic poets, dramatists, calligraphers and copper-etchers would also be found alongside the customary merchants, bankers, and physicians.
Many Dutch intellectuals became fascinated with the somewhat exotic inhabitants of the Jewish quarter and sought them out for conversation. Conversely, the Sephardic Jews reaped the benefits of the lively intellectual life created by Amsterdam’s savants, who eagerly cultivated theology, philosophy, jurisprudence, mathematics and oriental languages.
This is a photo of the old Portuguese synagogue in Amsterdam.
This lithograph by Bernard Picart shows its inauguration in 1675.
The painting of Emanuel de Witte depicts the interior of the synagogue in 1680. The Amsterdam Sephardic community was one of the largest and richest Jewish communities in Europe during the Dutch Golden Age, and their very large synagogue reflected this. The synagogue remains an active place of worship and is also a popular tourist attraction.
This is, again by Picart, a depiction of the Passover Seder of the Portuguese Jews of Amsterdam.
These are male attendants at a Sephardic wedding in Amsterdam in 1942, shortly before the German occupiers murdered most of the community.
