Isaac ben Moses HaLevi (known as the Efodi) was a Jewish physician and scholar who took the name Profiat Duran when forced to convert to Christianity in 1391. After he escaped Spain, he resumed his Jewish practice and engaged in anti-Christian polemics. He wrote The Shame of the Nations and the satirical Be Not Like Thy Fathers, which some Christian leaders originally mistook as support for Christianity. Other works include a commentary on Maimonides’ Guide for the Perplexed, and Ma’aseh Efod, on Hebrew grammar, often cited by later scholars. The name Efod is an acronym of his Christian name, prefaced by the Hebrew word “ani,” “I.”
