SUMMARY:Food For Thought:  The Real Heroines of Sephardic Culture
DESCRIPTION:Sephardic women have played a heroic role in keeping their culture alive. Thanks to their unshakable commitment and determination\, Sephardic women were at the center of the recovery process after expulsions and exiles\, and managed to not only keep the traditions and customs alive but thriving. \nIn this enlightening new program\, Professor Rivka Amado\, a Sephardic historian\, will explore the role of two groups of Sephardic women: those who fled Spain and Portugal after the expulsion and the conversa women who remained in the Iberian Peninsula and kept the Jewish faith in secret. Through this exploration of the role of these women in Sephardic culture\, we will gain new insights into this important segment of the Jewish community and Judaism as a whole. \nDr. Rivka Amado is a musician and lecturer specializing in Judeo-Spanish music\, culture and history with a focus on Sephardic women’s songs and spiritual experience. \nRegister Here.
