  2. Other modern Portuguese Jews include distinguished poet Fernando Pessoa (father of 'Jewish origin'), fado composer Alain Oulman, the founder of the Instituto Superior Técnico, and Daniela Ruah from NCIS: LA.

    Two Portuguese Jews that fled the Inquisition that you haven't covered yet are the fascinating Gracia Mendes Nasi and the deep-fried fish of the British dish 'fish and chips'.
