SUMMARY:The Purim Experience: The Jews of the Great Silk Road
DESCRIPTION:The Purim Experience:  \nThe Jews of the Great Silk Road \nFollow in the footsteps of the Bukharian Jewish merchants on the Silk Road and discover the ancient network of trade routes that were for centuries crucial to Eurasian cultural interaction.\nExplore with us the history of these roads connecting East and West\, stretching from the Korean peninsula and Japan to the Mediterranean Sea. Understand the impact and the contribution that Central Asia’s Jewish communities of today’s Uzbekistan\, Tajikistan\, Kazakhstan\, Turkmenistan\, and Afghanistan made towards the development of this ancient path.  \nWe will learn about the Jewish presence in this area for over 2000 years\, will look into their houses and read into the letters that the Jews of Central Asia exchanged for centuries with their fellow European Jewish communities. \nMonday\, 1 March at 12:00PM EST \nAbout the author:\nManashe Khaimov is an Adjunct Professor in Jewish Studies\, with a specialty in History and Culture of the Bukharian Jews at Queens College.
