Iraqi Jewish Voice Project
cordially invites you to a festive event
celebrating and honoring its founding supporters:
Robert Shasha and Dennis Shasha
Monday, September 11
7:00 P.M.
Center for Jewish History
15 W 16th Street
New York, NY 10011
The Iraqi Jewish Voices Project tells the story of the last Jews of Iraq and their integration into Israel and throughout the world through dramatic current and historical photography, film, and personal narrative. It is a project of Sephardi Voices USA, whose mission is to collect and archive the life stories of Jews of Middle Eastern, North African, and Iranian origin to raise awareness of their displacement and appreciation for their contribution to Jewish peoplehood and world history.
The evening is hosted by the American Sephardi Federation, which supported the publication of Iraq’s Last Jews (Palgrave Macmillan, 2008), edited by Tamar Morad, Dennis and Robert Shasha, and is proud to be the home of the Robert Shasha Collection of Iraqi Jewish Oral Histories.
The evening will feature a talk by Tamar Morad, who now spearheads the Iraqi Jewish Voices Project.
