In Memory of Leon Levy, z'l, Honorary President of the American Sephardi Federation
Today the American Sephardi Federation is delighted to introduce you to one of our new publication projects,The Sephardi World Weekly.
As part of our mission to connect diverse communities and celebrate the rich mosaic culture of Jews from the Middle East and greater Sephardic Diaspora, we will bring you timely, thought-provoking articles on Sephardi history, the arts, and current affairs.
Every Friday, the ASF will be sending our members an e-mail with links and brief introductions to recent articles on topics of interest from around the Sephardi world.
We hope you enjoy this first edition and share The Sephardi World Weekly with your friends. Please send us your thoughts and suggestions for future issues: info@sephardi.house
And be in touch with us about dedicating an issue in honor or memory of a loved one.
