The Eternal Jew of Majorca

The Marranos of Majorca are not Crypto-Jews – their forefathers abandoned Judaism three hundred years ago. Although they consider themselves to be steadfast and faithful Christians, they remain under the “curse of the eternal Jew,” not allowed to die but forbidden to live. Their neighbors still regard them as Jews, and. Majorca is the only place in Spain where the descendants of the first Marranos can be positively traced. Itzhak Levi had embraced Christianity in 1391 and changed his name to Bernardo Aguilo, and there are presently hundreds of Aguilos throughout the island. Nicolas Aguilo is the sole member of the Majorcan Marrano community to re-embrace Judaism, and immigrate to Israel.
