Was Christopher Columbus a Jew Led by Belief in the Prophet Isaiah?

Tsivya Fox : Apr 7, 2017  Breaking Israel News

At the top left-hand corner of all but one of 13 letters Columbus wrote to his son, he included the Hebrew letters beit-hay. "Even today, observant Jews put these Hebrew notes on their documents. It stands for b'ezrat Hashem, which means 'with God's help'. Columbus did not include these Hebrew letters when writing to outsiders and certainly omitted them from the letter he wrote to King Ferdinand." – Roni Segal

In fact, there is growing speculation that Columbus was a Jew fleeing the Spanish Inquisition rather than an Italian hired by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella to find riches in Asia.

"There is a lot of evidence that Christopher Columbus was a man of faith seeking to help his brethren escape certain death or conversion in Spain and even that he dreamed of rebuilding the third holy temple in Jerusalem," noted Roni Segal, academic adviser for The Israel Institute of Biblical Studies, an online language academy, to Breaking Israel News.

"For starters, Georgetown University linguist Estelle Irizarry has analyzed hundreds of Columbus' handwritten letters, diaries and documents. She found that Columbus'primary language was Castilian Spanish, the 'Yiddish' of the day for Spanish Jews, otherwise known as Ladino."
