Whoever saves a single Jewish soul, it is as if he has saved
an entire world.
Talmud , Tractate Sanhedrin 37a.
T he emigrants featured in this study left not only drought, famine, disease, and persecution behind, but also their friends and loved ones. Most, they knew, they would never see again. Despite this, all were determined to forge new lives in their adopted land.
Although Great Britain embraced, opposed, protected, and accepted them sometimes all at the same time these Jewishgreeniesnot only adapted but, each in his own way, prospered.
In time, their roots deepened and their families grew. From their roots have come an estimated five thousand descendants, or more. Research continues. And their families, some of whom have spread from Britain to North America, Australia, and Israel, continue to grow.
Ten people, five thousand descendants Their miracle the miracle of Jewish continuity was the confluence of opportune timing, personal resilience and reliance on tradition.

Raphael da Costa
Lisbon to London, 1746
A todos nossas irmaos presos pela Inquisicao
For all our brethren taken by the Inquisition.
Portuguese prayer included in the Bevis Marks Synagogue Yom Kippur service,
now read in Hebrew, meant today to strengthen all who suffer for their faith .
R aphael da Costa was circumcised at Londons Bevis Marks Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue in April 1746. Five days later, the 21 year old married his wife Ester da Costa in a religious ceremony. Little more about this couple is known. Their tale, woven from strands of information gleaned by inference more than reference, is a genealogical leap of faith.
Jews, known for their commercial skills and capital, arrived in Britain with William the Conqueror. Because usury, lending money for interest, was a sin in the eyes of the Church, they were encouraged to become moneylenders. Over the next century, they became enormously wealthy by financing the State Treasury. As a result, their countrymen blamed them for financial oppression and the Church demonized them.
Through the reign of Henry II, small Jewish enclaves flourished in London, Winchester, Canterbury, Oxford, Cambridge and elsewhere. When Richard the Lionheart joined the Third Crusade, anti-Semitic rioting, fuelled by waves of religious fervour, erupted throughout the realm. Scores of Jews in Lynn, Lincoln, Colchester, Thetford and Ospringe were robbed, beaten, hanged, slain or forcibly baptized.
