Sephardic Bnei Anusim
Sephardic Bnei Anusim (, , lit. "Children (the ) coerced () Spanish ()) are the contemporary and largely nominal Christian descendants of assimilated 15th-century Sephardic Jewish anusim. After the forced or coerced conversions of their Sephardic Jewish ancestors to Catholicism, this group of descendants of Jews from Spain and Portugal remained ever since as conversos in Iberia, and also migrated to the Iberian colonial possessions across various Latin American countries during the Spanish colonization of the Americas and the Portuguese colonization of the Americas.
Due to historical reasons and circumstances, Sephardic Bnei Ansuim had not been able to return to the Jewish faith over the last five centuries.〔http://www.netanya.ac.il/englishSite/Centers/SecretJewsCenter/Publications/Documents/beloved-legacy.pdf〕 Increasing numbers, however, have begun emerging publicly in modern times, especially over the last two decades, bolstered by advances in technology such as the Internet which have facilitated conventional genealogical research, as well as breakthroughs in modern population genetics and atDNA analysis.〔http://www.jewishpress.com/news/breaking-news/israeli-and-world-jewish-leaders-call-for-a-reconnection-with-the-descendants-of-spanish-and-portuguese-jewish-communities/2015/10/18/〕
Except for varying degrees of putatively rudimentary Jewish customs and traditions which had been retained as family traditions among individual families, Sephardic Bnei Anusim became a fully assimilated sub-group within the Iberian-descended Christian populations of Spain, Portugal, Hispanic America and Brazil. In the last 5 to 10 years, however, "organized groups of Benei Anusim in Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, and in Sefarad () itself" have now been established, some as functional communities of public Judaizers. Among these organized groups, a few of their members have recently formally reverted to Judaism.
The Jewish Agency for Israel estimates the Sephardic Bnei Anusim population to number in the millions.〔http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/14/world/europe/interest-in-israel-as-spain-weighs-citizenship-for-sephardic-jews.html〕 Although they are the least prominent of Sephardic descendants, Sephardic Bnei Anusim are nonetheless numerically superior to their Jewish-integrated Sephardic Jewish counterparts, which consist of Eastern Sephardim, North African Sephardim, and the ex-converso Western Sephardim. With up to 20% of Spain and Portugal's population and at least 10% of Latin America's Iberian-descended population estimated to have at least some Sephardic Jewish ancestry (90% of Latin America's modern population being persons of at least partial Iberian ancestry, in the form of criollos, mestizos, and mulattos), the total population size of Sephardic Bnei Anusim is not only several times larger than the combined population of Jewish-integrated Sephardic sub-groups, but also more than twice the size of the total world Jewish population as a whole, which itself also encompasses Ashkenazi Jews, Mizrahi Jews and various other smaller groups.
