    July 6 - Echoes of Sepharad

    Through video and musical performance, vocalist, guitarist and entertainer Ramón Tasat will kick off our series teaching about the rich legacy of Sephardic folksong. Through its music and text, he’ll demonstrate the connection between folksong communities Sephardic Jews. Ramon will also recount his experiences with Flory Jagoda, the legendary and acclaimed Sephardic folksinger (pictured here).

He is also the president of Shalshelet: The Foundation for New Jewish Liturgical Music. In addition, he is the musical Director of Kolot HaLev, a Jewish Community choir in the Greater Washington area.

    July 13 - Maimonides: Rabbi, Scholar, Physician, Philosopher, Mathematician

    Rabbi Moses ben Maimon (Maimonides) also referred to by the acronym Rambam, was a medieval Sephardic Jewish philosopher who became one of the most prolific and influential Torah scholars of the Middle Ages. During his lifetime and to the present day, most Jews highly regard Maimonides’ writings on Jewish law and ethics. He was a prominent physician, philosopher and polymath in both the Jewish and Islamic worlds and was the revered head of the Jewish community in Egypt. Join Rabbi Amy Schwartzman to learn more about this amazing scholar and influential leader in the Sephardic world.

    Dr. Ori Soltes will offer two lectures - the first will survey the history and culture of Jews in the Iberian Peninsula before the Expulsion from Spain. The second lecture will explore the Sephardic diaspora and its culture, including the Jewish community in the Caribbean.
