    Targeting Jews and Latinos: Perspectives on the War of Ideologies and the Rhetoric of Antisemitism on Returnees to Judaism Presentation. Delivered on August 11th 2025 as part of the Finding Your Voice panel at 35th SCJS conference.

    In this week show we feature two presentations from the Society for Crypto-Judaic Studies Conference. As we study the modern phenomenon of the descendants of the Anusim reclaiming their Sephardic Jewish heritage, we must point out that Jews and Latinos have a lot in common. For instance, in contemporary American culture Jews are still being maligned as the scary other, suspicious chameleon or enemies of Christianity (I will cite specific examples at the end of this document). At the same time, Latinos are often dismissed as invaders, illegitimate members of society and are seen as possible criminal elements infiltrating North American society. In my research on the subject I have found that the challenges faced by both Latin American immigrants and those who found out about their Jewish heritage are intertwined. Currently Jews have lost the admiration of the public and Latinos are often underrepresented in popular culture. There is also the depiction of Jews as an eternal boogeyman and in the Jewish community the concept of the “marrano” is used as a stand-in for a “bad Jew.” Ashkenasi Jews speak of Crypto-Jews similarly to the Spanish term “inadaptado;” someone who does not work well with others and can’t find their place in the world. Growing up in Mexico I was shocked when I found out that the term ladino commonly used as a synonym for scoundrel was connected to the Sephardic language used in the Mediterranean.  Mystic-Skeptic Radio produces programs such as Uncensored & Raiders of the Unknown.

    Shame Unmasked: Disarming the Hidden Source of Destructive Decisions, Dr. Rick Patterson

    In this week's show we interview author Dr. Rick Patterson. We discuss politics, raising children from different ethnic backgrounds and how to influence the world for the better. A quote from his first book: “While my doctoral dissertation was based on how shame motivates and manipulates our lives, it’s been my experiences in corporate America, professional ministry, and as an adoptive father our four African American children that have led me to a new understanding of the power shame has over our lives and the daily decisions we make.  I have seen the effects of shame in my own destructive decisions from breaking my hand punching a wall to entering professional ministry.  It’s my hope that I can bring awareness to this hidden ‘killer’ so we can go about disarming it before it does any more damage.” Mystic-Skeptic Radio produces programs such as Uncensored & Raiders of the Unknown.

    Anti-Israel or Anti-Fascism in the Holy Land? With YouTuber Raphael Gantshar from "Israel A People"

    In this week's show we continue our conversation with Raphael Gantshar. We have a comprehensive discussion about the Israel-Palestine conflict, exploring its historical, religious, and political dimensions while addressing the challenges of anti-Semitism and the complexities of Jewish perspectives on conflict. We examine the nuances of nationalism, governance, and humanitarian issues in Israel and the Palestinian territories, emphasizing the need for dialogue and understanding between different communities.  We discussed the complexities of war, its toll on individuals and societies, and the philosophical and ethical dilemmas it presents, particularly for religious individuals. Rafi shared personal experiences and emphasized the importance of standing against evil while avoiding moral equivalency. They also discussed the need to carefully evaluate and condemn hate speech within their own communities, with Rafi expressing willingness to condemn Jewish extremism while highlighting the importance of context and avoiding misrepresentation.
