In Memory of Habib Elghanian, HY”D, an Iranian Jewish entrepreneur, philanthropist, and President of the Tehran Jewish Society, who was summarily executed by the Ayatollah Khomeini’s Islamist regime on 9 May 1979. All of Elghanian’s property was expropriated. A Persian patriot credited with modernizing Iran by importing advanced plastic and other Western technologies, Elghanian’s generous support was crucial in the construction of Tehran’s Hosseinieh Ershad Mosque. His democide inspired the US Senate to pass S.Res.164, an Iranian human rights resolution introduced by NY Senator Jacob Javits. As Karmel Melamed reveals, the “Ayatollahs refused to release his body for burial. After [Chief] Rabbi [Yedidia] Shofet pleaded, his body was buried in an unmarked grave. Only years later was he given a tombstone.”

This week Iranian American Jews in LA were assaulted by anti-Israel protestors, a traumatic reminder of the Khomeinist persecution many of them fled when coming as refugees to America.

During Passover, Iranian regime-backed Houthis expelled almost all of Yemen’s last Jews. They continue to illegally imprison Levi Salem Musa Marhabi. Don’t turn away. Don’t close your eyes. Don’t let another group of Jews become forgotten refugees. Join the ASF’s campaign to #FreeLeviMarhabi.

“The Aden Jewish Museum brings Jewish history to life”
David Zev Harris and Mark Gordon, The Jerusalem Post

Aden is a port city in Southwestern Yemen, overlooking the eastern approach to the Red Sea and, “the narrow Bab al-Mandab Strait that separates Arabia from Africa.” While Aden's rich Jewish history came to an end in 1967, the community's story, “is told in a wonderful, compact museum in the very heart of Tel Aviv’s trendy Neveh Tzedek neighborhood.” Thanks to the conditions of British rule, Aden attracted Jews from all over the region, and the community assumed a uniquely multi-cultural Jewish character. Says Sarah Ansbacher, the museum's curator, “‘[T]he Adeni community… has its own distinct culture and character. The customs are a blend of Yemenite, Mizrahi [eastern] and Sephardi [Spanish and Portuguese], along with a strong British influence.’”

Margalit Oved, an Aden-born choreographer and folklorist, was airlifted to Israel in 1949. She danced in Israels Inbal Dance Theatre for fifteen years before teaching at UCLA and founding the Margalit Dance Theatre Company in Los Angeles. In this video, she remembers life in Aden, Yemen, from the Indian and Arab weddings to the 2:00 AM camel caravans, to the different languages heard in the streets and the feeling of peace that she felt when her father returned home from synagogue on Friday-night.
“Remembering the Farhud on its 80th Anniversary”
Yali (Menashe) Werzberger, The Jewish Voice

The Farhud, an antisemitic attack on Baghdadi Jews and Jewish-owned property, took place during the holiday of Shabu’ot in 1941. This year marks 80 years since Iraq’s “forgotten pogrom,” and Yali Werzberger commemorates the Farhud by recounting the history behind the attack, including the Nazi dimension. Werzberger also incorporates the perspective of her grandmother, Rachel, a Baghdadi-Jew born and raised in Bombay, India, who lost family in the Farhud but who was still able to marvel, “at the Divine Hand that enabled the Jews of Baghdad, a community of thousands upon thousands of people, leave the way of life they had for over 2,500 years, carrying nothing more than a suitcase, and thanking Hashem that we are able to sit in peace remembering those who perished. May their memories be a blessing.”

“I love the way that the music starts out by evoking ancient Jewish sadness only to erupt into the excitement of fife and drums in the new American setting brought about by the Constitution. You save your most momentous music for Washington's most profound words—to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance—and you invest them with all the weight and majesty they deserve.”

Out of the Dungeons with Genie Milgrom

Crypto-Jews, and many New Christians, were thrown into the dungeons throughout Spain. The Massacre of 1391 was the beginning of mass conversions in Spain. Of course, the decree of 1492 was to convert or be expelled. Many Jews chose to convert, yet they secretly maintained some Jewish practice. Being a crypto-Jew was an act of heresy, and there were great rewards for uncovering a secret Jew.

We will see, based on Inquisition papers, how so many crypto-Jews ended up in the dungeons. What were their formal crimes, and how were they caught? Life in the dungeons was unbearable, yet we know that they had modes of communication and some even lived to tell the tale.

NAHC Invites You To: The Diary of Asser Levy - First Jewish Citizen of New York

Meet author
Daniela Weil

In conversation with historian 
 
Noah L. Gelfand, Ph.D.
 
about
THE DIARY OF ASSER LEVY
First Jewish Citizen of New York

 
Daniela Weil will discuss her recent work of historical fiction, which introduces young readers to the real-life figure of Asser Levy, the first permanent Jewish resident of Manhattan. Levy fled persecution in Recife, Brazil, arriving in New Amsterdam in 1654, where he helped lead the fight for religious and civil rights that first gave shape to the character of modern-day New York. This dramatic story will interest educators and students, and also parents and grandparents.

But Isabel's biggest secret is this: Though the Perezes claim to be New Christians, they still practice Judaism in the refuge of their own home. When the Spanish Inquisition reaches her small town determined to punish such judaizers, Isabel finds herself in more danger than she could ever have imagined. Amid the threat of discovery, she and Diego will have to fight for their lives in a quest to truly be free.

A timeless love story about identity, religious intolerance, and female empowerment, The Poetry of Secrets will sweep readers away with its lush lyricism and themes that continue to resonate today.

New Works Wednesday with Cambria Gordon

As a young woman in 1481, Trujillo, Spain, she should be overjoyed that the alguacil of the city wants to marry her, especially since she and her family are conversos—Jews forced to convert to Catholicism—leaving them low in the hierarchy of the new Spanish order. Yet she longs to pursue an independent life filled with poetry and a partner of her own choosing: Diego Altamirano, a young nobleman whose family would never let him court someone with tainted blood like hers.

But Isabel's biggest secret is this: Though the Perezes claim to be New Christians, they still practice Judaism in the refuge of their own home. When the Spanish Inquisition reaches her small town determined to punish such judaizers, Isabel finds herself in more danger than she could ever have imagined. Amid the threat of discovery, she and Diego will have to fight for their lives in a quest to truly be free.

(Complimentary RSVP)


The intention of this series is to spark the interest in processes of Jewish modernization not exclusively mediated by Europeanization. The questions we will be dealing with are related to non-dichotomic identities, multiplicity and loss of language, colonization, social transformation, and intellectual responses to it. We will approach these questions by looking at Jewish-Arab influences, the Sephardi response to European modernization, the responses of the rabbinic leadership and the work of Sephardi intellectuals.

Series organized by Yuval Evri (King’s College London) and Angy Cohen (University of Calgary).



The ASF Institute of Jewish Experience presents:

The Persian Experience

Sign-up now!

Jews lived in the Middle East, and particularly Iran, even before the advent of Islam. Iran has a long history with varying dynasties, dynastic changes, and evolving borders and Jews have been there continuously throughout these changes. Throughout the ascent of Islam in its different forms, Jews were integrated at times more and at times less economically. There were times of intellectual and spiritual growth as well as suppression and persecution. All this will be addressed and discussed in a historical context.

The course is divided into seven units:


1. The Ancient Period – the settlement of the Jews in Iran, Acaemenid, Parthian, and Sassanian times
2. 7th to 9th Centuries – The emergence of Islam, Islam and the Jews, Dhimma, and Jewish religious streams
3. 13th to 18th centuries – Mongols, Jewish Persian poets, Safavid times
4. Mid-18th century to 19th century – Invasion, dynasties, and persecutions
5. The latter part of the 19th century – Interactions with World Jewry, legal status and conversions
6. Early 20th century – Modernization and education, constitution revolution, Zionism
7. The 20th century – Pahlavi dynasty, Revolution, Mashadis, and Migration

The Crypto Experience
The Global History of Secret Jews

An online course presented in 10 minute episodes.
Learn at your own pace.


Please sign-up now!
Total cost of the course is $75.00

The ASF Institute of Jewish Experience is proud to present “The Crypto Experience,” an online course on Crypto-Jews. It is part of a series of online courses on a variety of topics that make up the robust Jewish experience.

For hundreds of years there have been descendants of Crpto-Jews, who have covertly kept some of their traditions while maintaining a very different public persona. It is a question of identity, be it Huegenot, Catholic, Sephardi, or Mashadi. Professing one faith on the outside and another on the inside speaks to our quest for defining identity today.

These questions of identity that we think are so new and so relevant are really rather old questions under different circumstances. In this course Dr. Hilda Nissimi (Bar Ilan University) presents an overview of crypto societies historically and in the context of today. She challenges the participants to ask themselves difficult questions like: What defines identity? If I project this outer self, how do I keep my real me? Who is the real me? Am I the me before the expression of an outer facade? Is it a new me?

The course discusses these questions as they pertain to Jews, specifically. What does it mean to be a Jew? What do I have to keep if I want to call myself a Jew? Am I allowed to change? Am I the person to decide? Who will decide? How can anyone decide under such circumstances?

In order to understand this in historic and cultural contexts, world-renowned scholars and experts in the field have joined Dr. Nissimi and will be presenting the challenges facing a range of crypto societies: 

Huegenots – Dr. Hilda Nissimi
Spanish-Portuguese Crypto Society – Dr. Ronnie Perelis (Yeshiva University)
Bildi’in of Morocco – Professor Paul Fenton (Sorbonne Université, Paris) 
Mashhadi Jews of Iran – Dr. Hilda Nissimi
Tracing Jewish Roots – Genie and Michael Milgrom
Growing Up Mashhadi– Reuben Ebrahimoff

Total cost of the course is $75.00

Jews have been in Greece since before the Temple was destroyed. They were in Greece upon the founding of the Greek Orthodox Church. Community members, known as Romaniote, made their way through Venice, Byzantium, Spain, across the Ottoman Empire, and beyond.
 
Dr. Yitzchak Kerem provides an overview of the unique languages, liturgical nuances, and communal life of Jews across Greece. Dr Kerem spent significant time living in Greece and researching Greek and Sephardic history. Photographs, maps, and personal accounts provide course participants with a full picture of the unique nature of the Jews of Greece and its surroundings.
 
In the course, participants will look at major influential points in Greek Jewish history. They will explore The Golden Age of Salonika, a time when Greece’s northern city was a hub of Jewish scholarship. Kerem introduces the tension arising in the Greek Jewish community because of Shabtai Tzvi and the Sabbateanism movement that brought with it false messianism and conversion to Islam, at least outwardly.
 
The course looks at when the Alliance Israélite Universelle moved in and the Sephardic culture in Greece developed a rich secular culture with its own novels, theater, and music. 
 
This is part of the greater Jewish heritage and history that is often overlooked. ASF IJE online courses will bring to life all parts of the greater Jewish Experience.
