This is the tale of Jefan and Yahir, two boys who fled Spain's "holy" Inquisition in the early 1500's. Jefan and Yahir inherited innumerable reasons to hate. And separately both these boys fled Spain for the Americas, Jefan went with a Jewish band of pirates and Yahir with a caravan of Moors. These communities intersected upon a mountain of southeast Mexico. I first heard their story while visiting Sephard, the community which evolved from the meeting of these boys so many hundreds of years ago. Sephard still exists within a large series of caves in a mountain in Southeast Mexico. Both its origin and what it's become is unique beyond compare. And perhaps it's all an inspiration of what other communities could become!
