  • Portuguese Nationality for Sephardic Descendants
    Portuguese Nationality for Sephardic Descendants PRELIMINARY NOTES (1 MARCH 2018) Having worked for three years on the certification process of the descendants of Sephardic Jews of Portuguese origin the Board of the Jewish Community of Porto (CIP) would like to emphasise the following points: 1. The overwhelming majority of the certificates issued so far by CIP were granted to applicants descending from traditional Sephardic families who for centuries lived in Balkan countries – Macedonia, Greece, Bulgaria and the former Yugoslavia – and in Arab or Muslim countries – Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, the former Palestine, Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, Tunisia and Libya – rife with marriages between Jews of Portuguese origin and Jews of Spanish origin. These applicants may request their nationality in Portugal or Spain. 2. The Nationality Law Committee at CIP assesses applicants’ processes based on every single element that may guarantee that they have a tradition of belonging to a Sephardic community of Portuguese origin – e.g. the family surnames (and not only the applicant’s last name), the lists of surnames of the traditional Sephardic families of the countries where their forebears settled in the last five centuries, the communities and synagogues they belonged to, cemetery records, the types of ketubot and other objects the families may have kept down to the present, the religious or food rites and customs, episodes narrated in history books about the Portuguese Jewish diaspora, the applicant’s connection to the Jewish world in the present and their statues in the light of Halacha, the religious temples they still frequent today and the knowledge, however limited, of the history of such families by famous academics or Rabbis recognised by organisations with Halachic credibility – critically articulated with our knowledge and understanding of the reality, culture, religious law and Jewish communities as a whole and with other materials gathered throughout the assessment process, using the work tools at our disposal.

    WHAT Architect WHERE Notes Zone A1: Cidade do Porto – Cedofeita, Santo Ildefonso, Sé, Miragaia, São Nicolau & Vitória The double-decker Dom Luis I bridge is an icon of the city of Porto. It spans the River Douro linking the Port wine houses of Vila Nova de Gaia with the bustling downtown Ribeira district of Porto. Construction took place between 1881 and 1886 with the bridge being built adjacent to an existing bridge which it replaced. The granite Luís I Bridge Théophile Seyrig Ponte Luís I, Porto pillars of the original bridge are still in place, standing on the Ribeira like a pair of gate posts. It is probably no coincidence that the bridge passes more than a fleeting resemblance of its neighbouring bridge, the Dona Maria Pia bridge. The names of the two bridges came from the then king of Portugal, Luís I, and his wife, Maria Pia of Savoy. The Guindais Funicular is a funicular railway inaugurated on 3 June 1891.Almost 2 years later, on 5 June 1891, there was an accident caused by excess velocity, and the funicular car was decommissioned. As part of a larger initiative to improve the transport Funicular dos Raoul Mesnier du infrastructure of Porto, a new funicular and station was inaugurated Guindais Ponsard on 19 February 2004, following the same line as before. Two vehicles run the course, with a capacity for 25 persons each, operating at a maximum speed of 5 metres per second (16 ft/s). Mon-Thu (8am-10pm), Fri-Sat (8am-12am), Sun (8am-8pm) The Elevador da Ribeira or Elevador da Lada is a public elevator that connects the neighbourhood of Ribeira to the middle of the slope Miradouro Elevador 66 Largo dos Arcos António Moura of Barredo, by means of a vertical lift and a footbridge.
