eSefarad Noticias del Mundo Sefaradi
June has been another busy month, with our Museum Director visiting both Washington DC and Israel, forging new connections for our Greek-Jewish community. This newsletter is dedicated to Anna Benjamin Asser and Esther Stone, both of whom left us recently, Anna in May and Esther in June. Obituaries will follow in this issue. In July we remember the 9th of Av, a date that is painful for all Jews, as we mourn the destruction of both the First Temple by the Babylonians and the Second Temple by the Romans. Other calamities befell the Jewish world on or close to the 9th of Av, including the expulsion of the Jews of Spain on the 7th of Av.
Kehila Kedosha Janina Museum will be closed on July 15th and 22nd. Our synagogue will not close. We will be open for services every Saturday morning at 9:30 am. Do join us for Shabbat services, as well as for Tisha B’Av services on July 21 at 7:30pm.
If you would like to sponsor a KKJ E-Newsletter in Honor or in Memory of someone, please reach out to us at museum@kkjsm.org. We hope you enjoy this month’s E-Newsletter!
