“ Nobody is clear about whether he did giyur l'chumrah and yet people are speculating without facts. Majorca in particular is well known for its large number of conversos who secretly kept up Jewish practices. So lets be careful about facts here. ”

“ But their children and grandchildren (of Jewish rebels), who, misguided by their parents . . . and trained in their views, are like children taken captive by them and raised in the laws of the gentiles (haGoyím 'Al Dathím), whose status is that of an 'anus (one who abjures Jewish law under duress), who, although he later learns that he is a Jew, meets Jews, observes them practice their laws, is nevertheless to be regarded as an 'anus, since he was reared in the erroneous ways of his parents . . . Therefore EFFORTS should be made to BRING THEM BACK in repentance (teshubáh), to draw them near by FRIENDLY relations, so that they may return to the strength-giving source, i.e., the Toráh
-- M"T Sefer Shofetím, Hilekhót Mumarím 3:2

Indeed, when it comes to lineage, all the people of Israel are brethren. We are all the sons of one father, the rebels (reshaim) and criminals, the heretics (meshumadim) and forced ones (anusim), and the proselytes (gerim) who are attached to the house of Jacob. All these are Israelites. Even if they left God or denied Him, or violated His Law, the yoke of that Law is still upon their shoulders and will NEVER be removed from them.

“ . . .if a man always casts aspersions upon other people's descent -- for instance, if he alleges that certain families and individuals are of blemished descent and refers to them as being bastards -- suspicion is justified that he himself may be a bastard. And if he says they are slaves, one may suspect that he himself is a slave, since whosoever blemishes others projects upon them his own blemish. Similarly, if a person exhibits impudence, cruelty, or misanthropy, and never performs an act of kindness, one should strongly suspect that he is of Gibeonite descent, since the distinctive traits of Israel, the holy nation, are modesty, mercy, and loving-kindness . . .

“ Mallorca has had no Jewish tradition for 536 years, no Rabbis, no kesubas, no gittin, no kashrus, so there is no way they practiced "Judaism" in secret. Once they become conversos and live their life outside of Jewish practice more than 10 generations, they have to convert to regain their Jewish status. ”

“ I think you're reading too much into it. Any kehilla would accept them after giyur, just like they accept Ethiopians after giyur. You can't have it both ways: you can't live like a Catholic for 500 years than all of a sudden put on tzittzis and claim to be a Yid just because your great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandmother lit shabbos candles in a basement hundreds of years ago. Who was your mother? That is the more relevant question. ”
