Curaçao and Caribbean Sephardic Communities

Online Event | Sunday, June 21 | 1 PM

The Jewish Heritage Alliance presents a focused case study on Curaçao and neighboring Caribbean communities as models of Sephardic resilience. This session highlights religious life, commerce, cultural continuity, and the enduring legacy of Sephardic presence in the region.

The Western Sephardim were Jews of Iberian origin—many of them former conversos—who rebuilt open Jewish communities after fleeing persecution and the Inquisitions of Spain and Portugal. Beginning in the seventeenth century, they established vibrant centers of Jewish life in places such as Amsterdam, Brazil, the Caribbean and North America.

Join Professor Rebecca Kobrin for a presentation on "How Jewish Immigrants Reshaped America." Between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, millions of Jews, along with other Europeans, decided to uproot themselves from their places of birth and seek their fortunes in new homes around the world. This decision created new cultural and demographic centers for world Jewry, particularly in the New World, where by 1920, New York City represented the densest urban concentration of Jews anywhere in the world. How did these Jewish migrants reshape America? This lecture will explore these questions as it considers the role migration played in reshaping Jewish life along with American culture, politics and daily life.

Presented by The Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History and 70 Faces Media.
