Under the Wings of the Sultan: The Rise of Jewish Communities in the Ottoman Empire
- February 11 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm Free – $10
MONDAYS AT MUSEUM SERIES: LECTURE BY DR. DEVIN NAAR
“Under the Wings of the Sultan: The Rise of Jewish Communities in the Ottoman Empire”
An illustrated lecture about the ancient Jewish community of Salonika.
Under the Wings of Sultan
Dr. Devin Naar & Dr. Isaac Alhadeff Professors in Sephardic Studies, Associate Professor of History, and faculty at the Stroum Center for Jewish Studies in the Jackson School of International Studies at the University of Washington present an illustrated lecture about the ancient Jewish community of Salonika.
The “Golden Age” of Jewish life in Spain came to a devastating end in 1492. In the wake of the infamous expulsion decree of that year, Jews from Spain dispersed far and wide with the largest number ultimately settling in the lands of the Ottoman Empire. This lecture traces the trans-Mediterranean journey of the exiled Spanish Jews to the sultan’s realm and the cultural and political dynamics that shaped the communities they created and developed over the subsequent centuries. It short, it explores how the descendants of Spanish Jews eventually became Ottoman Jews.

The Rise and Fall of Salonica: The ‘Jerusalem of the Balkans’
- February 14 @ 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Thursday, Feb. 14, 5:00 pm CENTER FOR JEWISH STUDIES-UF, Gainesville
Library East Judaic Suite Lecture Series
“The Rise and Fall of Salonica: The ‘Jerusalem of the Balkans’”
The Mediterranean port city of Salonica was once home to the largest Sephardic Jewish community in the world. The collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the city’s incorporation into Greece in 1912 provoked a major upheaval for Salonica’s Jews. Professor Naar’s award-winning book, Jewish Salonica, tells the story through the voices of Salonican Jews as they forged a new place for themselves in Greek society. Naar is the Isaac Alhadeff Professor in Sephardic Studies and Associate Professor of Jewish Studies and History at the University of Washington in Seattle, where he directs the Sephardic Studies Program.
Made possible by the Alexander Grass Chair in Jewish Studies, and the Isser and Rae Price Library of Judaica.
