The End of Jewish Communal Life in the Arab Lands

ASF Institute of Jewish Experience and מרכז דהאן – Dahan Center present

For thousands of years Jews have lived across North Africa and the Middle East. Despite the long history, 1948-1967 marked the effectual end of many of these Jewish communities.
The Dahan Center, together with the American Sephardi Federation and Yeshiva University, seeks to explore this history through research and personal anecdotes.

Join us as we host international scholars, as well as local students, to share stories of the rich life that once was and the events across the region that caused the majority of Jews to leave.

Among our distinguished speakers will be Hakham Rabbi Dr. Elie Abadie, Dr. Sasha Goldstein-Sabbah (Leiden University),  Dr. Samuel Torjman Thomas (ASF Broome & Allen Fellow), and multidisciplinary artist Ms. Dana Avrish!

The conference is organized in collaboration with Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry for Social Equality.
