Também teve uma contribuição decisiva na reabertura da Inglaterra aos judeus, impedidos de aí entrar desde a época do Rei Eduardo I.

MENASSEH BEN ISRAEL was born in Lisbon in 1604. At a very young age he went to Amsterdam with his father, Joseph ben Israel, and became a disciple of Haham Yshac Uziel. In 1622 he was appointed professor of the Portuguese Jewish community in Amsterdam and, four years later, he founded the first Hebraic typography in Amsterdam; printing small books in Portuguese, Spanish, and Hebrew. Menasseh had a decisive contribution in reopening England to the Jewish people, closed since the time of King Edward I. He personally went to London and had talks with Cromwell who gave him a honorific pension he never took profit of. Menasseh died in 1658 after having returned from London. He had his portrait painted by his friend Rembrandt. Refs.: Inocêncio VI, 211. 'In a book dealer which trade was new and old books, I found a complete copy of the Treasure. I"ve never seen another.
