Jerusalem and the Jews of Spain: Longing and Reality
An exhibition created by Shelomo Alfassa.
For centuries, a central theme among the Jews of Spain was their longing for a return to the Land of Israel. This was a romantic and religious desire of many Spanish Jews - a desire that eventually became a reality.

TRACES OF SEPHARAD / HUELLAS DE SEFARAD
Etchings of Judeo-Spanish Proverbs by Marc Shanker
The new exhibition and book, Traces of Sepharad, by Marc Shanker, features more than 40 interpretive etchings of Judeo-Spanish proverbs, offering a unique window into Sephardic culture and thinking. The sheer breadth of lovely etchings of these timeless Ladino proverbs are easily recognized, understood and shared by a broad audience. They evoke the Judeo-Spanish culture which was maintained for over 500 years by Sephardic Jewish communities in the Diaspora. They bring our attention back to the thriving Jewish communities of the Iberian Peninsula at a time when Jews, Muslims and Christians lived together in relative peace.
