Sephardic poetry has traditionally been filled with a love and longing for Zion and Jerusalem, and the concert melodies will attempt to give voice to that powerful yearning. The event will take place this SUNDAY, APRIL 25th, at the CENTER FOR JEWISH HISTORY, and will start with a reception (including docent-led tours of our current exhibit, JEWISH COSTUMES IN THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE) at 7 PM. The evening’s program will begin at 7:45 by first honoring those who gave their lives in Israel’s defense with a presentation by Rabbi Dr. Elie Abadie, and then transitioning into a celebration of Israel’s independence with Middle Eastern and Sephardic song!
Please join us in what we are sure will be an exciting and meaningful evening! We can’t wait to see you there!
