Patron looking for an historical/family saga. Main character is Jewess
named Rebecca. She survives the inquisition. There may be future
generations in the story...any takers?

I think the patron might have mistaken the name Rebecca for Rachel.
"The Books of Rachel" by Joel Gross is a saga about the Jewish Culheno
family.
The first Rachel survives the Spanish Inquisition. A 60 carat diamond is
the legacy of every succeeding Rachel born into the family up to the
Holocaust.
