DEVORAH ESTHER IVEL COLON

Devorah Esther Ivel Colon is a rising author, known for her thought-provoking works that illuminate hidden narratives within Jewish history.

Her debut book, The Last Anusah, chronicles her transformative journey from Christianity into Orthodox Judaism, uncovering her family's Jewish identity and the resilient community nestled in the mountains of Puerto Rico.

Her book series, The Watchmen, is a gripping historical fiction based on the true-life underground movement that emerged during the expulsion from Spain and endured until 1898—helping countless Jews escape the Inquisition.

Her novel, The Panes of Time, blends emotional depth with ancestral memory in a lyrical exploration of identity.

Her latest book, When Jews Say Marrano is a bold, compassionate, and deeply personal call to action—challenging the casual misuse of a term rooted in forced conversion, humiliation, and survival. This work confronts communal amnesia and halachic silence with wit, empathy, and unflinching truth.
