New York: Sephardic Journeys: An Evening of Exploration by Maurice Moore

May 28, 2015 7:00 PM at American Sephardi Federation in New York, NY.

Rabbi Marc Angel and Rabbi Yamin Levy will discuss The David Berg Rare Books Room’s latest exhibit, “Sephardic Journeys,” created by the Center for Jewish History with the American Sephardi Federation.

The Sephardic Diaspora extends from Shiraz and São Paulo to Salonika, Seattle, and Sheapshead Bay. What unites the beautiful, complex, and diverse mosaic culture of Sephardim is a history of journeys—sometimes by choice, too frequently by force—that have driven Sephardi travelers and traders, publishers and philosophers, scientists and singers to transcend borders and barriers as they pioneered today’s globalized world.

“Sephardic Journey’s” rare books and artifacts reflect a rich tradition of scholarship and culture shaped by migrations, and they invite, in turn, reflection upon the physical, emotional and spiritualjourneys of Jewish history.
