I had the pleasure of listening to Dr. Roger Louis Martínez-Dávila ‘s lectures in person. I also had the honor of working with him on the board of the Society for Crypto-Judaic Studies. I am looking forward to reading his book, titled: Creating Conversos: The Carvajal–Santa María Family in Early Modern Spain and is available at the link below:
Rabbi Juan Marcos Bejarano-Gutierrez is a graduate of the University of Texas at Dallas where he earned a bachelor of science in electrical engineering. He studied at the Siegal College of Judaic Studies in Cleveland and received a Master of Arts Degree with Distinction in Judaic Studies.
He completed his doctoral studies at the Spertus Institute of Jewish Learning and Leadership in Chicago in 2015. His doctoral dissertation is titled “Complex Identities: Christian and Jewish Attitudes Towards Conversos” and was accepted in September 2015.
He also studied at the American Seminary for Contemporary Judaism and received rabbinic ordination in 2011 from Yeshivat Mesilat Yesharim.
