Greek Jewry: At the Crossroads of Civilizations

Hosted By: Qesher

Hosted by Qesher, this event explores the history of Jews in Greece, dating back to antiquity. Greece was the epicenter of Sephardi culture in Europe and home to the unique Greek-speaking Romaniote community, as well as Jews who took refuge from across Europe. Before WWII, the Jewish population numbered around 80,000, but the Holocaust decimated their numbers; today, the community works to preserve its unique heritage.

Host

Qesher

There are Jewish communities all around the globe with their own unique history, culture, places, and most of all, people and stories. All of them different, but sharing so much. The aim of Qesher is to connect these different Jewish traditions, not just to know of each other, but to learn about each other. We believe that there is great value in creating a deeper understanding within the Jewish world and exploring Jewish experiences and identities in all their diversity.
