Tonight is the 5th night of #Hanukkah. Pls join me in recalling the 500 years of secrecy and denial forced on the #Anusim in order to survive and keep the flame of #Judaism alive, no matter how dim. From the prayers tonight: The spirit of those who were forced to convert, but practiced in secret; died because they were #Jews; or who were expelled from #Spain and #Portugal, remains alive in the bright lights of the Hanukkah candles - more than 500 years later.
