Julie Martinez is an attorney specializing in estate planning, asset ‎protection, elder law and disability planning. Born into the Catholic faith, ‎she was innately drawn to Judaism without any rational explanation. She ‎began a search without knowing what she was searching for or why she ‎was searching. The answer revealed itself to her over a period of three ‎decades. Following the Edict of Expulsion in 1492, many Jews publicly ‎converted to Catholicism, yet continued to practice Judaism in secrecy. ‎This discussion looks beneath the veil concealing the lives of the Crypto ‎Jewish community and explores its implications today.‎
