Descubre Sefarad

The American Sephardi Federation and Caminos De Sefarad: Red de Juderías de España present a pop-up photographic exhibition on Spains formerly Jewish Quarters. The evening will also feature a presentation by Doreen Alhadeff, a member of Seattles Sephardic community, who was one of the first to be recognized under Spains Sephardic citizenship law, as well as a Spanish kosher wine tasting. This event is the first part of a two day program at The Center for Jewish History and Instituto Cervantes, where there will be a Sephardic music concert by Lara Bellow (Juderias ) on Monday night.

Descubre Sefarad: For the past 20 years, several Spanish cities have been working to uncover and promote the architectural, historical, environmental, and cultural heritage of Spains formerly Sephardic communities. The Red de Juderias (Spanish Network of Jewish Quarters) is an organization that has put these cities together to further the defense of historical heritage, promotion of the Jewish legacy, and further knowledge and mutual respect amongst all peoples, cultures, and traditions. This exhibition depicts historical Jewish Quarters that have been preserved and some which are newly recovered.
