Madeira Island

Madeira wine is almost as old as Madeira itself. Exports began shortly after the island was discovered in 1419. The enchantment of Madeira wines lies in the fact that, even today, we can still experience its deep ethnographic richness: grape harvests, processions of harvesters, grape pressing and the entire ritual of the street festival are enthusiastically enjoyed by all who take part in the festivities. The Madeira Wine Festival is one of Madeira's many tourist attractions an event that pays tribute to this precious nectar and its undeniable socioeconomic significance. Taking place in the midst of the vintages, this event aims to recreate the old traditions of its locals, which were developed over centuries of labor in viticulture. The Madeira Wine Festival celebrations are a tribute to the effort involved in its production and at the same time serves to promote and to reaffirm Madeira Islands as a tourist destination of excellence overseas. This event has been commemorated since the late seventies. Nowadays these festivities begins in Funchal downtown area, and include the European Folklore Week, ornamentations, exhibitions, displays and live portrays depicting Madeira wine and the craft involved in its production, in addition to a diversity of concerts based on light music and traditional music shows. From August,27th onwards, the city of Funchal, and especially the Avenida Arriaga pedestrian street, is filled with various adornments comprising several tools used in the art of viticulture (presses, casks, barrels, grape picking baskets, traditional means of transportation), Includes displays and re-enactments of the wine-making process in Madeira (grape pressing, reenactment of the regional craftsmen traditional customs), apart from the local gastronomy, the typical Madeira wine tastings and exhibitions on Madeira and regional handicrafts.

Eric Asimov, wine critic, talks about Madeira Wine in the following excerpt:

Your Next Lesson: Madeira by Eric Asimov, The New York Times

“... Even among fortified, sweet wines, Madeira is singular. For one thing, it is virtually indestructible, made in such a way that the usual enemies of fine wine — heat, light and air — are shrugged off like flecks of dust. It was this invulnerability that gave Madeira the strength to withstand the rigors of ocean voyages and become the most popular wine of colonial America. The popularity of Madeira, which comes from the Portuguese island of the same name, plummeted in the late 19th century with the arrival of phylloxera, a ravenous aphid that ravaged vineyards throughout Europe. The vineyards were replanted after a solution was found, but revolution, wars, the Depression and Prohibition in the 20th century prevented Madeira from regaining its former markets. Today, in the United States at least, Madeira has experienced a modest revival. But fortified and sweet wines have largely fallen out of favor, so its popularity remains limited. ... The best bottles tend to come from four principal grapes in ascending order from driest to sweetest: sercial, verdelho, bual and malmsey, which is better known elsewhere as malvasia.

... How to serve Madeira? Please, don’t haul out the brandy snifters, just use ordinary wine glasses. The sercial is dry enough to drink with meals. I remember it as an excellent combination with a grilled skirt steak. The malmsey is quite sweet. It goes wonderfully with cheese and chocolate. The bual is somewhere in between: You can try it with savory and sweet. You may not want to drink as much Madeira as you would table wine. It’s 19 percent to 20 percent alcohol, which makes it more suited to ocean voyages than overindulgence.”

National Geographic Highlights Madeira

Madeira has succeeded in appearing among the 10 best destinations to visit for a summer holiday, according to the list published by National Geographic magazine (NGM). NGM went on to assert that Madeira is renowned for its pleasantly mild temperatures, colourful gardens and delicious wine. It added that Madeira is a subtropical paradise. Moreover, NGM highlighted the island’s famous Levada watercourses, which create beautiful paths that feature stunning views across the lush mountains and valleys of the archipelago. Nonetheless, the magazine reminded tourists that the Levadas present various levels of difficulty and therefore, exercising caution when choosing a route was crucial. Nevertheless, NGM described the open channels carrying water to the population as an unmissable visit for all tourists with a sense of adventure.

history história

History of the Jews in Madeira The history of the Jews in Madeira spans the entire length of the history of Madeira itself, from Crypto-Jews to World War II evacuees. Like the Jews of mainland Portugal, Madeira jews are mainly related to Sephardi history, a Jewish ethnic division that represents communities who have originated in the Iberian Peninsula. Manoel Dias Soeiro better known by his Hebrew name Menasseh ben Israel (‫השנמ‬ ‫לארשי ןב‬‎), was born in Madeira in 1604. Menasseh was a Portuguese rabbi, kabbalist, writer, diplomat, printer, publisher, and founder of the first Hebrew printing press in Amsterdam in 1626. In 1819, Jews from Morocco arrived to Madeira and set themselves up in the cloth and wine trades. The Synagogue of Funchal, called Shaar Hashamain, located at 33 Rua do Carmo, Funchal, is no longer in use and is the only known synagogue that has ever existed in Madeira. The construction period was around 1836, believed to be updated around 1914 by architect Miguel Ventura Terra, as he designed the Lisbon Synagogue around the same time. The Abudarham family from Gibraltar were

involved in the Madeira wine industry from the early 1860s onwards. Rabbi David Zaguri became its spiritual leader in 1857. Another period of immigration followed in the 20th century, with the arrival of refugees from the First and Second World Wars. The Jewish community also grew due to the Evacuation of the Gibraltarian civilian population during World War II to Madeira. Tito Benady, a historian on Gibraltar Jewry, noted that when some 200 Jews of the 2000 evacuees from Gibraltar were evacuated as non combatants to Funchal, at the start of World War II, they found a Jewish cemetery that belonged to the Abudarham family, the same family after whom the Abudarham Synagogue in Gibraltar was named. Some of these evacuees were buried in the Jewish Cemetery of Funchal, a burial ground that was built in 1851. The Jewish Cemetery of Funchal is located in Rua do Lazareto, Funchal. Sephardi Jews as well as Ashkenazi Jews are buried there. Thirty-eight graves in total. The last burial took place in 1976. In 2013, Passover Seder was held in Madeira sponsored by Shavei Israel and was attended by Bnei Anousim or Crypto-jews.

Was Madeira’s Pioneer, João G. Zarco, Jewish? There are discussions as to whether João Gonçalves Zarco, the Portuguese explorer who established settlements and recognition of the Madeira Islands, could have been of Jewish Converso origin. It is believed that Zarco was of a prominent Jewish family from Santarém and Lisbon. Mossé Zarco was King João II's tailor. There was also a Portuguese doctor named Joseph Zarco, whom some authors claim to be Joseph Ibn Sharga, the great kabbalist, and a sixteenth-century poet named Yehuda Zarco. Authors known for making the claim that João Gonçalves Zarco was of Jewish ancestry are Augusto Mascarenhas Barreto and Manuel Luciano da Silva, who also suggest that Christopher Columbus could have been of Jewish descent from Portugal and his real name was Salvador Fernandes Zarco. Isabel Violante Pereira also attributes Jewish ancestry to João Gonçalves Zarco.

Madeira Tee Time Madeira truly is paradise. A perfect climate, incredible scenery and some of the best course designers in the world is the perfect recipe for a perfect golf vacation. One of the best things about the Madeira Archipelago is that it's not all the same. Each island has its own personality and unique topography. As for the visitor’s ultimate golfing experience, well, let’s just say that it too has its own personality and unique topography.

Palheiro Golf

Start with Palheiro Golf. Set within the magnificent Palheiro Estate and lying adjacent to the five-star Madeira Island Hotel Casa Velha do Palheiro – a Relais & Châteaux property – the 18-hole, par 72 Championship golf course meanders through a pristine environment of maritime pine and botanical woodland embroidered with lush, sub-tropical vegetation. At nearly 500 m (1640 ft) above sea level, the location is blessed with dramatic views of Madeira’s mountainous skyline and the vast Atlantic Ocean. Nestling below just 10 minutes away is Funchal, the island’s capital. Designed by renowned golf architect Cabell B. Robinson, this picturesque layout with year-round appeal takes full advantage of Madeira’s hilly terrain, with abrupt ridges and deep valleys providing a compelling challenge for even the most seasoned golfer. Then, there is the Clube de Golf Santo da Serra, where one can experience Madeira’s breathtaking beauty, renowned history and Robert Trent Jones Senior’s spectacular 27-hole golf course in one of the most beautiful natural landscapes you could imagine. Ranked among the world’s finest courses, Santo da Serra offers a premier golf and country club escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Clube de Golf Santo da Serra offers what is surely one of the most spectacular panoramas in all of The European Tour International Schedule. Keith Waters, the European Tour’s Chief Operating Officer, once said: “The Madeira Islands Open has become an established stop on the Tour Schedule, and provide a welcome opportunity for all of members to play and earn valuable Race to Dubai and World Ranking points."

Clube de Golf Santo da Serra

Porto Santo Golf

Madeira’s neighbouring sister island, Porto Santo, also prides itself of Porto Santo Golf, designed by champion Severiano Ballesteros. Porto Santo Golf crosses the island from the dunes to the dramatic basalt cliffs. It offers a perfect combination - natural beauty and a challenging game. The plan was made so that the field would blend with the landscape, and with great care to minimize the impact to the environment. The field has an 18-hole course, spread over the 6.434 meters, a Par 72. It is characterized by two distinct areas the southern route, traditionally American, dotted with lakes and requiring a long and precise game; the North route developed on top of the fantastic cliffs. There is a 9 hole course every pair 3 'pitch-and-putt' (ideal aim to train for a good shot), and a driving range. The club house is a success of modern design, but blends harmoniously with the landscape, with its limestone walls, natural wood and modern furniture wicker. Facilities include sauna, jacuzzi and a good golf shop. You can also enjoy the fantastic view of the island and the ocean while savouring traditional specialities at the restaurant or simply sipping through an exotic cocktail at the bar.

GOLF Tal como uma Primavera eterna, a Madeira é, por excelência, um destino de golfe para todo o ano. Duas ilhas distintas, apresentam três magníficos campos de golfe e uma oferta de alojamento, de lazer e de bemestar que encantam todos os golfistas. O Arquipelago da Madeira possui uma beleza e um clima que lhe confere características únicas. A tradição da prática de golfe, na ilha da Madeira, remonta a 1937. Nesta ilha poderá treinar num dos dois campos, o Palheiro Golf e o Clube de Golfe do Santo da Serra, com 18 e 27 buracos respetivamente, sendo ambos notáveis pela beleza e envolvência dos seus cenários.Na ilha do Porto Santo, a 40 km da Madeira, experimente o campo de 27 buracos, projetado pelo famoso golfista Severiano Ballesteros. O Madeira Islands Open constitui o mais importante torneio de golfe que, anualmente, se realiza na Madeira e está integrado na PGA Europeia. A Madeira dispõe, neste momento, de todas as facilidades para acolher golfistas de todos os handicaps, nelas se incluindo uma oferta hoteleira de qualidade superior, que posicionam as ilhas num paraíso para os amantes deste desporto e que irão deslumbrar-se com o desafio de cada "hole" e com a paisagem envolvente.

Oriental Gardens

During a trip to China and Japan José Berardo became enchanted by their history, culture and way of life and by the influence of the Portuguese on the Orient over 200 years. As such, the two oriental gardens are an attempt to recreate that culture, linked to Buddhism, with its respect for Nature and its highly symbolic elements. At the entrance to the Oriental garden in the Northern area, there are two marble Fo dogs, mythical animals from the Orient usually found at the entrance to temples, acting as guards. There is a moveable ball in their halfopen mouths which, according to the Chinese belief, brings good luck to those who give it one complete turn. The decoration is based on the oriental style, and thus various pagodas may be found, originally intended to house relics or to mark a holy places. Apart from these, the visitor may also observe Buddhist sculptures, a dragon in mar-

ble surrounded by children representing fertility, stone seats with oriental decorations, and several lanterns, also in stone. Water is also an important decorative feature in the form of lakes and waterfalls, with miniature islands and ornamental bridges. Next to the lakes containing Koi fish, two bamboo ornaments in the shape of pipes are to be seen. When these become filled with water and it is discharged into the lake, the resulting noise, apart from frightening away the birds, represents the passing of time. From Asia we can find a species of cycad, Cyca revolute and in both the oriental gardens we come across various tree ferns, whose lush green vegetation contrasts with the red and black of the bridges and railings. There are also flowering plants such as the camellia, a shrub with evergreen leaves, highly valued for the number of attractive flowers that bloom, above all, in the winter and spring.

Jardins Orientais Durante uma viagem à China, José Berardo ficou maravilhado com a história, cultura e modo de vida, especialmente, pela influência dos Portugueses no Oriente durante 200 anos. Os dois jardins orientais são uma tentativa de recriar essa cultura, ligada ao Budismo, com o seu respeito pela Natureza e os seus elementos simbólicos bastante demarcados. À entrada do Jardim Oriental, nas áreas a Norte, há dois cães de Fó, em mármore, animais míticos do Oriente geralmente encontrados nas entradas dos templos, actuando como guardiães. Nas suas bocas entreabertas encontra-se uma bola móvel que, de acordo com a crença chinesa, dá boa sorte àqueles que lhe derem uma volta completa. A decoração tem por base o estilo oriental e por isso, podem ver-se vários pagodes, que originalmente tinham por finalidade alojar relíquias ou marcar locais sagrados. Para além destes, o visitante pode também observar esculturas Budistas, tais

como, um dragão em mármore rodeado por crianças representando a fertilidade, bancos de pedra com decorações orientais e várias lanternas também em pedra. Importa ainda referir uma componente fulcral neste tipo de jardins, a água, que abunda nas lagoas e cascatas, com ilhas e pontes ornamentais. Ao lado das lagoas dos peixes Koi, encontram-se dois ornamentos em bambu em forma de cachimbo. Quando estes ficam cheios de água e a descarregam para a lagoa, o ruído que daí resulta, para além de afugentar os pássaros, sugere a passagem tempo. Proveniente da Ásia encontra-se uma espécie de cica, a Cyca revoluta, e em ambos os jardins orientais vêem-se vários fetos arbóreos, cuja vegetação verde luxuriosa contrasta com o vermelho e preto das pontes e varões. Existem ainda plantas como a camélia, Camellia japonica, de folhagem permanente, muito apreciadas pelo número de flores que produz, sobretudo, no Inverno e na Primavera.

Monte Palace Tropical Garden Situated in the amphitheatre of Funchal about 5 kilometres from the centre of town you will find one of the most beautiful gardens of Madeira Island, the Monte Palace Tropical Garden.

Zino's Petrel

(Pterodroma madeira) Zino's Petrel Pterodroma madeira, an endemic seabird of Madeira, is regarded as one of the most endangered seabirds of Europe. It only breeds on the island of Madeira and nests in extremely steep ridges of the central mountainous massif. Shape & Size A medium-small seabird with a slim body and a proportionally small and thin bill which is a distinguishing feature when compared to Fea's Petrel. Colour Pattern Zino’s Petrels’ wings and back are dark grey, with white underparts and a grey tail. It has an incomplete grey breast band and normally has a lot of white on its underwings. Behavior It has a rapid flight, sweeping up in the wind and then rapidly down again with a marked “W” angulation of the wings. Habitat This species is only known on and around the breeding area. They come inshore only at night and nest in the high central mountain massif. Where they go in the non-breeding season is not known. Pterodromas can be seen at sea of Madeira, but it is almost impossible to distinguish between Zino's and Fea’s Petrel unless they pass very near when an educated guess can be made. Distinction from similar species Pterodroma madeira is not easily distinguished from Pterodroma feae though Zino’s is in general a smaller bird, more elegant, with whitish underwings and smaller bill. Fea’s Petrels look more bulky bodied and the bill is very heavy when compared to the size of its head. The jizz is a good first impression to try to separate these seabird species with Zino’s flight being more agile, fast and with more aggressive turns than Fea’s Petrel. Though the comparative bill size is the most distinguishing feature.

Freira-da-madeira A freira-da-madeira é uma ave marinha pelágica, endémica da Ilha da Madeira. É uma das aves marinhas mais raras do Mundo, e esteve considerada extinta até aos finais da década de 1960. Apresenta uma população mundial de apenas 65 a 80 casais, com uma área de nidificação restrita ao Maciço Montanhoso Oriental, mais precisamente em pequenos patamares acima dos 1600 metros de altitude, localizados entre o Pico do Areeiro e o Pico Ruivo.

Descrição A Pterodroma madeira é uma pequena ave marinha de asas comparativamente muito longas em relação ao comprimento corporal, com as asas e o dorso de tonalidade escura, quase preta e o ventre esbranquiçado. A cauda é de cor cinzenta, mas escura na face superior. A região ventral é branca com flancos cinzentos. Apresenta-se com 32 a 34 cm de comprimento e 80-86 cm de envergadura. A espécie é morfologicamente muito similar a Pterodroma feae, a freira-do-bugio, que apesar de ser ligeiramente maior tem coloração muito semelhante. Esta semelhança torna muito difícil distinguir estas duas espécies da Macaronésia quando avistadas no mar.

Reprodução A partir do mês de abril, a freira inicia as visitas às suas áreas de nidificação. Numa primeira fase a preparação do ninho, posteriormente o acasalamento, êxodo pré-postura e retorno à colónia. Seguem-se as fases de postura e incubação bem como a eclosão e a partida dos juvenis que decorre até outubro.

The reason this species was named Freira (which means 'nun' in English) lies in the fact that these birds breeding colony is up on the mountains above Curral das Freiras (Nun's Valley) and as they have white underparts and a grey mantle they look like they wear the same vests of the Nuns from Santa Clara Convent who had taken refuge in that valley from pirate attacks back in 1566. Zino's Petrels, during their nocturnal visits to their nests, emit calls that sound like wails. For many years these sounds were interpreted by the inhabitants of Curral das Freiras as being the calls of the suffering souls of the shepherds who died on those mountains. This species was first described in 1903 by a German naturalist priest, Ernst Schmitz. In 1951 Jerry Maul from the Municipal Museum of Funchal, known now as Natural History Museum of Funchal, collected a specimen which was later considered the last trail of existence of this species for the following 18 years. In the sixties, the ornithologist Paul Alexander Zino made several attempts to find some evidence of the species but only at the end of that decade he managed to re-track Zino's Petrel. In 1987, after observing that several eggs and young birds showed signs of predation, a conservation program was designed aiming to reduce and control the main predators of the species (rats and cats). Info This program was coordinated by the Freira Kingdom: Conservation Project and Animalia assisted by Madeira Phylum: Natural Park and Natural Chordata History Museum of Class: Funchal. Aves Nowadays the Madeira Order: Natural Park is at the Procellariiformes head of the project and Family: the activities which aim Procellariidae to conserve this species Genus: through the recuperaPterodroma tion of its breeding habiSpecies: tat are co-financed by P. madeira the Life-Nature Program.

A espécie é alvo de um programa de conservação que tem atuado sob múltiplas vertentes. No início dos anos 90, foi criada uma área livre de predadores, nomeadamente ratos e gatos, em redor das suas áreas de nidificação, que foi reforçada em 2001, ao abrigo do projeto LIFE, e que tem sido mantida até aos dias de hoje.

Ocotea foetens, commonly called til, tilo, stinkwood, or rain tree of Hierro island, is a species of tree in the Lauraceaefamily. It is evergreen and grows up to 40 m tall. It is a common constituent of the laurisilva forests of Madeira and the Canary Islands. It is in danger of becoming threatened due to habitat loss. Description Ocotea foetens is endemic to Macaronesia. Like the other species of the Ocotea genus, it is rich in essential oils, which give an unpleasant odor to the wood when freshly cut (hence the name foetens, Latin for smelly, stinky, disgusting, Info unpleasant). It is rarely used as an Kingdom: ornamental. It is an evergreen Plantae tree generally up to 30 m (33 yd) Phylum: in height, although some speciTracheophyta mens may reach 40 m (44 yd). It Class: commonly grows with multiple Magnoliids trunks branched from the base. Order: The bark is rough and irregular, Laurales and dark in colour; the young Family: branches are angular, with Lauraceae smooth bark, sometimes reddish Genus: in areas of recent growth. The Ocotea wood is dark and hard. The Species: leaves are about 9–12 cm (3.5– O. foetens 4.7 in) long and 3–5 cm (1.2–2.0 Scientific Name: in) wide, oblong-lanceolate to Ocotea foetens almost elliptical, acuminate at

the apex and slightly indented at the base. In adult plants, the leaves are leathery in texture, glossy on both sides, darker green on the upper surface, with 2(-4) small gland-like depressions on the underside near the base. The petioles are short (up to 15 mm (0.59 in) in length). The flowers of both sexes are white, with splashes of green and pale yellow, releasing a slight odor. The perianth has six components, and there are nine stamens. The predominant flowering season is from June to August (northern hemisphere). The fruit is a berry, hard and fleshy and about 3 cm (1.2 in) long, its lower half covered by a dome, giving it a look similar to an acorn. The fruit is dark green, gradually darkening with maturity. The fruit has a single seed wrapped in a hard coat. When the fruits fall they separate from the dome. Germination is favored by moisture and light. Ecology Ocotea foetens is endemic to Madeira and the Canary Islands, appearing in laurel forest habitat, generally between 400 and 1400 m altitude. In the Canary Islands it is not present on Lanzarote or Fuerteventura. In the archipelago of Madeira it is absent from Porto Santo. In Azores Islands it is an introduced species. It is the only Paleoendemic Ocotea species in the wetter relict forest areas of Macaronesia. Its berries are consumed mostly by the endemic Madeiran pigeon Columba trocaz.

Til (Ocotea foetens) Til (Ocotea foetens) Ocotea foetens, conhecida popularmente como Til, é uma espécie da família das lauráceas. O til é uma árvore perenifólia que atinge entre os 8 e os 20–30 m de altura, podendo alguns espécimes atingir os 40 m. O tronco é rugoso e irregular, coberto por uma casca escura. A madeira é escura e dura, libertando um odor característico quando recentemente cortada. Os ramos jovens são delgados, angulosos, com tegumento liso, por vezes avermelhado nas zonas de crescimento recente. Os frutos do til fazem parte da dieta do pombo-trocaz, ave endémica da Madeira, sendo esta a responsável pela sua disseminação na Laurissilva. O til é endémico da Macaronésia (Madeira, Açores e Canárias), aparecendo na laurissilva, em geral entre os 400 e os 1400 m de altitude (entre os 200 e os 700 m nos Açores).

Manoel Dias Soeiro (Menasseh ben Israel)

Portrait of Menasseh Ben Israel by Rembrandt Menasseh ben Israel was the author of many works. His major work Nishmat Hayim is a treatise in Hebrew on the Jewish concept of reincarnation of souls, published by his son Samuel six years before they both died. The Conciliator was, as above, a work written to reconcile the apparent contradictions in numerous passages throughout the Bible. To achieve this aim, Ben Israel "utilized an astounding range of sources"; primarily the Talmud and the classic Jewish commentaries but frequently quotes from the early Christian authorities as well as Greek and Latin authors of antiquity.

Info Name: Manoel Dias Soeiro, "Menasheh ben Yossef ben Yisrael" Born: November 20 , 1604, Madeira Died: November 17, 1657 Middelburg, Netherlands Family: Son of Gaspar Rodrigues Nunes ("Joseph Ben Israel") and Antonia ("Rachel Ben Israel") Occupation: Rabbi, Printer Writings: • The Conciliator • De termino vitae, Latin, 1639 • De Creatione Problemata, Spanish, Amsterdam 1635. • De Resurrectione Mortuorum, Book III 1636 - Spanish/Latin • De la Fragilidad Humana (On Human Frailty), 1642 • Nishmat Hayyim, Hebrew • Thesouros dos dinim • Piedra gloriosa - with four engraved etchings by Rembrandt • Hope of Israel, London 1652 • Vindiciae Judaeorum, 1656

Manoel Dias Soeiro, better known by his Hebrew name Menasseh ben Israel (‫השנמ‬ ‫לארשי ןב‬‎), was born in Madeira in 1604, a year after his parents had left mainland Portugal because of the Inquisition. Menasseh was a distinguished rabbi, kabbalist, writer, diplomat, printer, publisher, and founder of the first Hebrew printing press in Amsterdam in 1626. The family moved to the Netherlands in 1610. The Netherlands was in the middle of a process of religious revolt against Catholic Spanish rule throughout the Eighty Years' War (1568– 1648). Amsterdam was an important center of Jewish life in Europe at this time. The family's arrival in 1610 was during the Twelve Years' Truce mediated by France and England at The Hague. Menasseh rose to eminence not only as a rabbi and an author, but also as a printer. He established the first Hebrew press in Holland. One of his earliest works, El Conciliador, published in 1632, won immediate reputation; it was an attempt to reconcile apparent discrepancies in various parts of the Hebrew Bible. Among his correspondents were Gerardus Vossius, Hugo Grotius, António Vieiraand Pierre Daniel Huet. In 1638, he decided to settle in Brazil, as he still found it difficult to provide for his wife and family in Amsterdam. Menasseh's wife, Rachel, was a granddaughter of the Abarbanel. Menasseh had three children by her. According to family legend, Menasseh's wife was a descendant of King David, and he was proud of his children's Davidic ancestry. Menasseh may have visited the Dutch colony's capital of Recife, but did not move there. One of the reasons his financial situation improved

in Amsterdam was the arrival of two Portuguese Jewish entrepreneurs, the brothers Abraham and Isaac Pereyra. They hired Rabbi Manasseh to direct a small college or academy (a yeshibah in Spanish-Portuguese parlance of the time) they had founded in the city. In 1644, Menasseh met Antonio de Montezinos, a Portuguese traveler and Marrano Sephardic Jew who had been in the New World. Montezinos convinced him of his conclusion that the South America Andes' Indians were the descendants of the lost ten tribes of Israel. This purported discovery gave a new impulse to Menasseh's Messianic hopes, as the settlement of Jews throughout the world was supposed to be a sign that the Messiah would come. Filled with this idea, he turned his attention to England, whence the Jews had been expelled since 1290. He worked to get them permission to settle there again and thus hasten the Messiah's coming. With the start of the Commonwealth, the question of the readmission of the Jews had found increased Protestant support, but it was often mooted under the growing desire for religious liberty. In addition, Messianic and other mystic hopes were then current in England. His book, the Hope of Israel, had first been published in Amsterdam in Hebrew (Mikveh Israel) and in Latin (Spes Israelis). In 1651 he offered to serve Christina, Queen of Sweden as her agent of Hebrew books. In 1652 his book was translated into English and published in London, prefixed with a dedication to the Parliament and the Council of State; his account of descendants of the Lost Tribes being found in the New World deeply impressed public opinion

and stirred up many polemics in English literature. Despite their historic misfortunes and movements, Menasseh characterizes the condition of Jewry at the time by saying: “Hence it may be seen that God hath not left us; for if one persecutes us, another receives us civilly and courteously; and if this prince treats us ill, another treats us well; if one banisheth us out of his country, another invites us with a thousand privileges; as divers princes of Italy have done, the most eminent King of Denmark, and the mighty Duke of Savoy in Nissa. And do we not see that those Republiques do flourish and much increase in trade who admit the Israelites?" Oliver Cromwell was sympathetic to the Jewish cause, partly because of his tolerant leanings but chiefly because he foresaw the importance for English commerce of the participation of the Jewish merchant princes, some of whom had already made their way to London. At this juncture, the English gave Jews full rights in the colony of Surinam, which they had controlled since 1650. There is some debate among historians, particularly Jewish historian Ismar Schorsch, concerning whether or not Menasseh’s personal motives for pursuing the readmission of the Jews by England were primarily political or religious. Schorsch argues that the idea of England being a final place for Jews to inhabit in order to bring about the coming of the Messiah was hardly present in Hope of Israel, but rather was developed by Menasseh later in order to appeal to English Christians with Millenarian beliefs. In 1655, Menasseh arrived in London. During his absence from the Netherlands, the Amsterdam rabbis excommunicated his student, Baruch Spinoza.

Manoel Dias Soeiro (Menasseh ben Israel) Biografia Nasceu cristão novo na ilha da Madeira em 1604 e foi baptizado com o nome de Manuel Dias Soeiro. Seu pai, Gaspar Rodrigues Nunes, incomodado pela Inquisição, fugiu com toda a família por volta de 1613-1614 para a Holanda, onde tomou o nome de Joseph ben Israel e chamou a seus filhos Ephraim e Menasseh. Menasseh revelou-se um estudante brilhante e demonstrou uma aptidão especial para aprender línguas. Em 1622, era já pregador; no mesmo ano, falecem os seus pais. Casou com Raquel Abarbanel, de uma célebre família judia em 1623. Em 1626, fundou a primeira tipografia de caracteres hebraicos em Amsterdão, onde imprimia os livros que escrevia em hebraico e latim ou espanhol e português (ou uma mistura destas duas línguas). Correspondeu-se com figuras importantes do seu tempo, nomeadamente Gerhard Vossius e Hugo Grotius e com Rembrandt, que dele fez um retrato. A partir de 1646, seus filhos encarregam-se da tipografia, primeiro Ephraim (falecido em 1648) e depois (1650) Samuel (falecido em 1652), que assina Semuel ben Israel Soeiro ou Samuel Abarbanel Soeiro. Em 1651, Menasseh escreve uma carta aberta a Cromwell, solicitando autorização para que os judeus se possam estabelecer em Inglaterra. Desde 1290 até 1655, nem um único Judeu pisou a terra de Inglaterra. Mas agora, Menasseh olhava para as Ilhas Britânicas, com a esperança de que os perseguidos judeus ali encontrassem um refúgio. Em 1655, partiu para Inglaterra e teve um acolhimento algo simpático por parte de Cromwell. Foi-lhe dito que não havia obstáculos à vinda de judeus, mas que não teriam um estatuto especial. De facto, vários judeus portugueses e espanhóis estabeleceram-se em Inglaterra. Em 1656, ergueram uma Sinagoga em King Street, Duke’s Place, e prepararam um hospital em Mile End. A partir da Restauração da Monarquia com Carlos II, o número de Judeus em Inglaterra subiu exponencialmente. Menasseh deixou Londres no Outono de 1657, mas veio a falecer em Midleburgo (Holanda) em 20 de Novembro de 1657, quando levava para casa o corpo de seu filho para lhe dar sepultura. O seu túmulo está no Cemitério Beit Haym em Ouderkerk a/d Amstel. Menasseh published  InhisLondon, Humble Addresses to the Lord Protector, but its effect was weakened by William Prynne's publication of Short Demurrer. Cromwell summoned the Whitehall Conference in December of the same year. Some of the most notable statesmen, lawyers, and theologians of the day were summoned to this conference to discuss whether the Jews should be readmitted to England. The chief practical result was the declaration of judges Glynne and Steele that "there was no law which forbade the Jews' return to England" (as they had been expelled by royal decree of King Edward I, and not by formal parliamentary action; Jews remaining in England lived, however, under constant threat

of expulsion). Though nothing was done to regularize the position of the Jews, the door was opened to their gradual return. On December 14, 1655, John Evelyn entered in his Diary, "Now were the Jews admitted." When Prynne and others attacked the Jews, Menasseh wrote his major work, Vindiciae judaeorum (1656), in response. Soon after Menasseh left London, Cromwell granted him a pension, but he died before enjoying it, at Middelburg in the Netherlands in the winter of 1657. He was conveying the body of his son Samuel home for burial. His grave is in the Beth Haim of Ouderkerk aan de Amstel, and the graves remain unscathed, with both headstone and gravestone intact.

São Jorge

Mother Church The mother church, built in 1761, is considered the ex-libris of the Santana municipality baroque architectural heritage, and also the biggest baroque church in the island. The fenestration of the main facade of this parish is unusual for the regional typology, since the portal is topped by three apron windows in the middle of which appears another window flanked by pilasters supporting a straight cornice. Besides it’s sumptuous appearance, in its interior there’s a gilded high altar, and a fine set of paintings. The church is, since 1995 classified as Monument of Local Value by the DRAC – Direção Regional de Assuntos Culturais (Regional Bureau for Cultural Affairs). Contacts Rua Cardeal D. Teodósio de Gouveia 9230-143 São Jorge Tel.: +351 291576526

Igreja Matriz de São Jorge A paróquia de S. Jorge foi constituída em capelania-mor autónoma a 8 de Junho de 1509, para depois em 1515, ser reconhecida como sede paroquial independente de Machico e detentora de plenos direitos espirituais. Foi a primeira e mais antiga vigairaria setentrional e a única localidade que, não sendo cidade nem vila, tinha a prerrogativa de celebrar a festa e procissão de Corpus Christi. Ao longo de quase quatro séculos teve primazia e ascendente sobre todas as localidades do Norte da ilha, foi sede de colegiada, curato e arciprestado. Do seu seio emergiram as actuais paróquias de

Santana, Arco de São Jorge e Ilha. Foi, também, uma das primeiras paróquias dedicadas a S. Jorge no espaço do "Novo Mundo". A actual igreja matriz, benzida a 17 de Setembro de 1761, é o quarto templo e quinta sede paroquial a servir esta paróquia, sendo considerada um dos mais belos exemplos de barroco rural português. É sem dúvida o ex-libris do património edificado do concelho, de estilo arquitetónico religioso barroco, albergando no seu interior, particularmente no seu altar-mor, uma belíssima talha barroca, que enquadra nas suas paredes um belo conjunto de pinturas.

Pico do Areeiro

It is often said that a tour is one of the most pleasant ways to discover and learn more about the destination being visited. In the following MIM issues we will provide you with some touring ideas while discoveing the island of Madeira. In this issue we will go over the Best of the East (Tour 1). We take your vacation personally and our goal is to inspire, entertain and give you an experience you will always remember. Have a safe and happy tour!

The Joy of Touring in Madeira 1

Explore Pico do Arieiro, the second highest summit on Madeira at 1,810 meters high, offering stunning views. Most days, visitors can stand and look down on the clouds. The air is fresh and clear and the sun is very bright. On a clear day it is possible to see the neighbouring island of Porto Santo, 30 miles to the north. The footpath northwards towards Pico Ruivo is an important tourist attraction, with a daily average of 1000 tourists trekking on it. There is easy road access to the summit, with a large car park, a restaurant and souvenir shop. In 2011, an Air Defence Radar Station was built at the top of the mountain near the tourist facilities.

Ribeiro Frio (Cold Stream in English) is a small village situated in the central mass of Madeira. It belongs to the parish of São Roque do Faial, the municipality of Santana , and is located around 15 kilometers from Funchal. Here you can visit a trout hatchery and eat a grilled trout in the nearby restaurant. The little village is greatly visited by tourists as it is a starting point for many Levada walks. It is located 860 meters high, in a location surrounded by tall trees such as the laurel (Laurus novocanariensis) and heather undergrowth (Erica madeirensis). It is also populated by native birds of the island such as the Trocaz pigeon (trocaz pigeon), the chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs madeirensis) and Madeira firecrest (Regulus madeirensis).

Poiso

Ribeiro Frio

Poiso is a stunning area surrounded by pine trees. There is a trail that will take you to a brook and an open area called Chão da Lagoa, which is a popular place for doing picnics and barbeques. After crossing the road, you’ll enter an upward trail that takes you to Pico do Areeiro. From this peak you’ll be able to observe Pico Ruivo, the Paul da Serra and all the central mountain peaks of Madeira. The descent is done through the Chão do Areeiro and the Environmental Education Course of Cabeço da Lenha. The return to your initial point (Poiso) is done by walking along the Levada do Blandy.

Santana

Faial is a civil parish in the Madeiran municipality of Santana located along the northern coast of the island of Madeira. It was founded on February 20, 1550 by settlers who named the area â&#x20AC;&#x153;Faialâ&#x20AC;? due to numerous shrubs called Myrica faya, which are indigenous to the area, and that grew abundantly within the valleys between the mountains.

Faial

Portela

Porto da Cruz is a civil parish in the municipality of Machico in the northeastern tip of Madeira. The origin of the community's name came from the fact that the original discoverer affixed a steel cross at the port, in order to better identify the location to ocean travelers. During the early settlement of the northern coast, goods destined for the northern communities were offloaded in the harbor. Cultivation and harvesting of sugarcane occupied the activities of early settlers. The aguardente factory, completed after 1858, was part of this industry, converting the grapes and juice into a local spirit, uniquely cultivating the American caste of grape in this territory.

Porto da Cruz

Santana, short form for Santa Ana (meaning Saint Anne) is a municipality situated on the northern coast of Madeira. Santana is best known for its enchanting red and white coloured A-shaped thatched dwellings. These were mainly rural homes, used by local farmers, during the settlement of the island. Today, most of the surviving dwellings are tourist attractions. While visiting Santana you ought to visit the Madeira Theme Park, which covers an area of about 28,000m2 of land. The aim of this park is to take you back to the island's early history. Here, you will also re-discover Madeiran culture in a unique way. This includes exhibits on the island's history, artifacts used in daily life and cultural presentations, in a scenic environment.

Portela, located between Porto da Cruz and Machico, provides one of the most beautiful landscapes of Madeira. At 670 meters, the viewpoint in Portela stands with its impressive rock formations. Here you will find magnificent scenery, with mountains that seem to flow down a valley towards the sea.

Machico

Santa Cruz, or Holy Cross, is a municipality, a parish and a city in the eastern part of the island of Madeira. It is the second most populous municipality of the island. It is located southeast of Santana, southwest of Machico and northeast of the capital city of Funchal. Santa Cruz is linked by an expressway to Funchal and Machico, as well as an ancillary road linking it to Santana. Agriculture and fishing are still considered the primary industries in this region, although widespread expansion of tourism in the south, and the development of the international airport has increased the number of commercial and touristrelated activities, primarily in the city of Santa Cruz.

Santa Cruz

Machico is a municipality, parish and city in the southeast part of Madeira. The easternmost municipality on the island, it is also the third most populous area. The economy is focused on agriculture, tourism, and fishing, although a small number of businesses and commercial establishments have concentrated in the center of town. The main harbor is a mixture of personal and public uses, that includes a lighted promenade, scenic landscapes of the town, as well as a small harbor that is used as a fishing port and public harbor. Not far away you can dip yourself into the deep blue waters of the manmade sandy beach of Machico. Be sure to visit Pico do Facho before you embark on your next stop.

Camacha is situated in the mountainous interior of the island, 3 km north of Caniço, 7 km northeast of Funchal and 6 km west of Santa Cruz. Achada is the centre of the parish of Camacha, a picturesque place where people who visit it often go to visit the Café Relógio with its tower and famous wicker work factory. There is also a large square, which was built for folklore performances and traditional festivities, as well as a children's playground and a small football field in homage to the place which provided the launch pad for the “king of sports” in our Camacha country. Interestingly, the son of William Hinton, Harry Hinton, was educated in England and as an 18-year-old student, brought the first football to Madeira in 1875. The first game of football in Portugal was played at the Hinton family quinta in Camacha at that time.
