The Society for Crypto-Judaic Studies

Since the creation of the Society for Crypto-Judaic Studies (SCJS) in 1991 by Rabbi Joshua Stampfer, historian Dr. Stanley Hordes and playwright Rena Down, SCJS has established itself as the preeminent association dedicated to fostering research in the historical and contemporary development of Sephardic crypto-Jews.

SCJS also provides a venue for the descendants of crypto-Jews, scholars, and other interested parties to network and discuss pertinent issues. As an international forum, it creates opportunities for sharing personal narratives, as well as new and relevant data of interest to our diverse membership. Above all, it nurtures a global community for those in search of more information and helps gather in the fragments of crypto-Jewish communities around the world. Primary successes of SCJS’s more than 20 years of continuous service include:

  • An annual society conference presenting a venue for scholars, lay persons, and all parties interested in the historic and contemporary crypto-Judaic experience.
  • Publication of HaLapid, the journal of SCJS, which offers a broad range of literary contributions, scholarly articles, and personal narratives.
  • Establishment of the Sosin-Stratton-Petit Foundation Program which directly nurtures and funds the visual and performing art initiatives of SCJS.
  • Establishment of the Randy Baca-Dennis Duran Fund, to support conference attendance for individuals exploring and researching their potential Sephardic heritage.
  • From January 2013 until December 2015, SCJS was formally affiliated with the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs in order to develop interdisciplinary and community collaboration and research on crypto-Judaic experience.
