Itzhak Ben Avraham is a lawyer, historian and coordinator of the Moisés de León Documentation Center, whose best showcase is the Sefardies.es portal, an information platform on Sephardic culture and history in which a powerful search engine allows access to thousands of references on the topic. His collection houses over 3000 (yes, you read that correctly) books on Sephardic history.
At the Casa de León located in his apartment in Madrid, Isaac spoke to me about surnames, a possible sign of belonging or descending from converted Jewish families.
But not all is so easy. Are there Sephardic surnames?
