Three-Part Virtual Series | Beginning September 14 | 1 PM

From Persecution to Renewal: The Sephardic Legacy and Foundations of Freedom explores the Sephardic Jewish journey — from forced conversion and exile to commercial ingenuity and constitutional ideals — that shaped Jewish law, identity and modern legal thought. Travel across the Iberian Peninsula, Amsterdam, the Ottoman Empire and the early American Republic, uncovering how resilience and intellectual exchange forged both Jewish and Western legal imaginations.
