Topic: The Jews of Portugal

‍

Ancient Canaanites and Israelites over the ancient centuries became Phoenicians and Hebrews. They shared the same alphabet and Ancient Classical Hebrew was their common language. When the Jews settled in Iberia they became known as Sephardic. Sepharad is the Hebrew name for the Iberian Peninsula (modern-day Spain and Portugal). Jewish populations existed in Iberia long before Portugal became a separate kingdom, dating to the Roman era (province of Lusitania).
