This important history documents the religious customs of the crypto-Jewish culture in Spain, Portugal, and their American colonies, principally Mexico, Peru, and Brazil. In coping with clandestineness, crypto-Jews rapidly evolved their own idiosyncratic religion. Its Jewish core was quickly replaced with concepts and practices from the surrounding Catholic culture covered by a veneer of Jewish theology. Included in this award-winning volume are examinations of crypto-Jewish beliefs, superstitions, birth customs, education, marriage and sex, holidays, dietary laws, conversions and death, and burial practices. "Secrecy and Deceit" provides a comprehensive account of the customs of these secret Jews.

"aSecrecy and Deceit" provides rare glimpses into a subject that is increasingly fascinating to many different audiences.aaJane S. Gerber, Director, Institute for Sephardic Studies, CUNY Graduate Center

aHistorians and students of comparative and popular religion will be drawing on this work for years.aaHaym Soloveitchik, Yeshiva University
