Oporto Jewish Community Donates Funds to Food Bank in Israel

6/1/2020

 
(Washington, D.C., June 1, 2020)--The Jewish community of Oporto, Portugal, will donate all proceeds from the Video On Demand film “The Light of Judah” to the Food Bank of Israel.

The film is part of an interfaith project, in conjunction with the Catholic Diocese of Oporto, to fight anti-Semitism. The film, now available with Hebrew subtitles, is offered with the support of B’nai B’rith International.

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a significant increase in the demand for meals from people who have lost their jobs as a result of the global economic downturn.

Produced by Portuguese director Luís Ismael, “The Light of Judah” is based on true events, portraying the historic relationship between Jews and Catholics in the Middle Ages, during the Inquisition and in modern times.

From the board of the Jewish community of Oporto, Gabriela Cantergi said, "We are proud of the work that many people and organizations are doing around the world to remedy this pandemic situation and serve humanity and encourage others to help."

The Jewish community of Oporto has the largest synagogue on the Iberian Peninsula, and access to kosher  restaurants. The group has cooperation protocols with B'nai B'rith International, Keren Hayesod and the Embassy of Israel in Portugal. The Roman Catholic Diocese of Oporto is the most populated Diocese of Portugal.   

B'nai B'rith President Charles O. Kaufman said, "B'nai B'rith endorses its brothers' and sisters' stalwart efforts in Oporto to fight hunger in this beautiful city and Israel in the face of hardships associated with COVID-19. The Jewish community in Oporto is working in the tradition and spirit of emergency services in which our organization has engaged since its founding in 1843. We have proudly promoted and executed recent pandemic relief services throughout the world." 
​

B’nai B’rith International has advocated for global Jewry and championed the cause of human rights since 1843. B’nai B’rith is recognized as a vital voice in promoting Jewish unity and continuity, a staunch defender of the State of Israel, a tireless advocate on behalf of senior citizens and a leader in disaster relief.

B’nai B’rith Podcast: Dara Jeffries on the Film “Sefarad” and the Jewish Community of Oporto, Portugal

2/27/2020

 
(Washington, D.C., Feb. 27, 2020)--On the latest episode of the B’nai B’rith podcast, CEO Daniel. S. Mariaschin talks with Dara Jeffries, representative of the Jewish community of Oporto, Portugal. The community recently created a film entitled “Sefarad,” a sweeping history of Oporto’s Jews.
 
The movie is “personal in the sense that it tells the story from the perspective of Oporto, as opposed to all of Portugal or all of Iberia, because that’s where we’re from and that’s what we knew,” Jeffries said. “And we think that Oporto’s a very unique place. In Oporto, we’ve done a lot of work with the local Catholic community and the Muslim community as well...It’s always had a very unique dynamic with other religions and is [a] very ecumenical community.”
 
Oporto’s history of religious tolerance has not always made it safe for Jews. “Sefarad” opens in 1492 with an exodus of Jewish refugees fleeing Castile, from where they have just been expelled, for Portugal. Their stay is short-lived; soon after their arrival, the Portuguese king expels them, and cross-wielding mobs drive Jews out of the country. The narrative then skips to 1923, when the Jewish community of Oporto has been rebuilt under the leadership of military officer Barros Basto. Basto famously revived Oporto’s Jewish community, building the largest synagogue in the Iberian Peninsula in 1938. He was eventually expelled from the military for conduct unbecoming an officer, though many believe he was unjustly accused.
 
“[Barros Basto] had a vision that he would go and find all these descendants of the hidden Jews and that they would want to come back and become part of mainstream Judaism, but that didn’t happen for a lot of reasons, some of which are told in the movie,” Jeffries said. “But he built this enormous synagogue because he thought that that is what would happen, that he would be able to fill it. So it’s a very large space.”

B’nai B’rith Calls for Dismissal of Anti-Semitic Cartoonist Vasco Gargalo

2/4/2020

 
(Washington, D.C., Feb. 4, 2020)— B’nai B’rith International President Charles O. Kaufman and CEO Daniel S. Mariaschin have issued the following statement:  
 
B’nai B’rith is calling for the dismissal of Portuguese newsmagazine Sábado cartoonist Vasco Gargalo, who published anti-Semitic images in the month before International Holocaust Remembrance Day and the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
 
“Demonization of the State of Israel is not acceptable political or social commentary, it is in fact modern day anti-Semitism, and the images of a crucifixion on the Star of David perpetuate the world’s oldest hate,” we wrote in our letter to the publication.
 
The cartoons demonized Israel by comparing the Jewish State to Nazi Germany and invoking Nazi imagery to characterize Israelis, both of which fall under the internationally accepted International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA)’s definition of anti-Semitism.
 
In the first cartoon, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is pushing a coffin with a Palestinian Authority flag into an oven. The German phrase “Arbeit macht frei,” which translates to “Work sets you free,” was infamously inscribed on the gates of Auschwitz. Gargalo’s second cartoon showed a Black politician being crucified on the Star of David.

We fully respect freedom of expression and free speech, but these age-old anti-Semitic tropes — blood libels — are hateful and shameful. No more!

Project, Unique in the World, Brings Together Jewish and Catholic Communities in Oporto, Portugal

12/17/2019

 
(Washington, D.C., Dec. 17, 2019)-The Jewish Community of Oporto and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Oporto, Portugal, meet today in an unprecedented interfaith gathering between the two Portuguese communities as part of the Global Project in the Fields of Culture and Religion. As part of the project, the two communities have collaborated on artistic and humanitarian ventures. Today’s event is an unprecedented meeting promoting dialogue and understanding between the two communities and their heritage, culture and religion. The following is information from the Jewish Community of Oporto:

  • Both institutions have established the Global Project in the Fields of Culture and Religion, resulting in common aid to charities, the production of four movies and the promotion of each other’s museums.
  • The short film “The Nun’s Kaddish”, awarded in several film festivals, will be exhibited at the Catholic Cathedral and was described by Pope Francis as a “leaven of fraternity, hope and joy in the heart of the world”.

According to the President of the Jewish Community of Oporto, Dias ben Zion: “It is difficult to achieve positive relationships between Catholics and Jews without social, cultural and interfaith cooperation”

 
Gabriela Cantergi, member of the board of the Jewish Community in charge of interfaith relations, explained the Global Project in the Fields of Culture and Religion:
 
“Social, cultural and other dialogue is necessary to achieve full tolerance between the Roman Catholic Church and Jewish communities, particularly in societies in which negative stereotypes are entrenched, ignoring for example the fact that many Jews struggle financially.”
 
The Jewish Community of Oporto has devised a global project involving close cooperation with Oporto Roman Catholic Diocese, with the following activities:
 
1) Social causes, helping children, the elderly and the sick;
 
2) Promotion of the Jewish Museum and the Episcopal Palace Museum; and

The scripts and rough cuts having been shown beforehand to the Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Oporto.  Gabriela Cantergi stated: “the proceeds from films in Portugal will go to social causes.”
 
About “The Nun’s Kaddish” and the other films
 
- Today the short film “The Nun’s Kaddish” is exhibited at the Catholic Museum, a short film that portrays a true story of inter-religious kindness when two catholic nuns observe the Jewish ritual, raising the spirituality of the two faiths towards a higher feeling of universal brotherhood.
 
Pope Francis wrote a letter to the Jewish community about the film “The Nun’s Kaddish”, saying that he, “Calls down divine favours in abundance on all those directly or indirectly involved and represented in carrying out this film, that they may be the leaven of fraternity, hope and joy in the heart of the world, and wishes everyone the greatest happiness with God’s blessings.”
 
- “1618” is a film about the inquisitorial visit to Porto that encountered resistance from priests, ordinary citizens and the city authorities themselves, all accustomed for centuries to living alongside the Jews.
 
- “Sefarad” reveals the existence in Portugal of Marranos right in the middle of the 20th century. They were neither Jews nor Christians but both at one and the same time, living outside the mainstream of both religions.

- “The Light of Judah” is a historical documentary covering centuries of the history of the Jews in Portugal and the city of Oporto in particular, from the Middle Ages to the Inquisition, from modernity to the present day.
The movies are directed by Luís Ismael: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1644176/
