THE PORTUGUESE NEW CHRISTIAN AND CRYPTO JEWS


"How can G-d not reward a Jew who has been coerced by force of persecution yet secretly performs some commandments? ... One who transgresses under duress is not called a sinner, nor wicked, nor is he disqualified.... It is improper to reject those who desanctify the Sabbath or to despise them, rather one should welcome them and encourage them...." Maimonides
