Dear Safranim, You are cordially invited to the first lecture in the 2018-2019 lecture series by Fordham-NYPL Research Fellows in Jewish Studies.
The Fordham-NYPL Lecture Series presents: American Jews Meet Moroccan Jews during the 1940s and 1950s Michal Ben Ya’akov, Emuna-Efrata College Tuesday, November 6, 2018 6:00 PM Fordham Law School - Lincoln Center Lowenstein, Room 524 113 West 60th Street New York, NY 10023 Click here to RSVP or email jewishstud...@fordham.edu For more information, contact Magda Teter at 347-364-3472 or jewishstud...@fordham.edu. In this lecture, Ben Ya’akov will explore how, despite sporadic contact between American Jews with Jewish communities in North Africa during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, North African Jews remained largely unknown and considered 'exotic' by American Jews. But the Holocaust and World War II changed the face of world Jewry and the perceptions of American Jews regarding world Jewry, including, for the first time, face to face contacts with North African Jews. Sincerely, -- Amanda (Miryem-Khaye) Seigel Librarian Dorot Jewish Division, Room 111 The New York Public Library Stephen A.
