At The Washington Post, Juan Forero reports on families in Bello, Columbia, who were once devout Catholics and evangelicals, but are now joining a worldwide movement in which descendants of Jews forced from Spain during the Inquisition are embracing their Jewish heritage. “There’s a real awakening that’s taking place,” said Michael Freund, who directs Shavei Israel, a Jerusalem-based group that helps new Jewish communities such the one in Bello. “The Jewish spark was never quenched, and … they are taking back the Jewish identity that was so brutally stolen from their forefathers.”
