A Portuguese-language community archive and gathering place for Brazilians exploring Sephardic ancestry, family memory, and the history of forced conversion.

Why it surfaced

The site is unusually specific and deeply human: it invites visitors to look for the family signs they were never able to explain, document their ancestors, and join a free weekly online gathering called the Roda. Its careful distinction—“Não somos conversão. Recebemos irmãos.”—gives the project both a clear boundary and a memorable voice.
