Please join us as we celebrate Shabbat in the Sefardic tradition. Sofie Shefia will lead us in song and prayer, joined by a founding organizer Hershel Weiss. The evening includes an opportunity for everyone to share from their heart. All are welcome!

We continue our special series in what we believe is the first public reading of the poetry of nineteenth century Sephardic-American poet Emma Lazarus in Spanish. Writer, researcher, teacher and translator Héctor Contreras López. Everyone noted how moved they felt by hearing Emma’s words returned to her ancestral language. “Reading these poems in Spanish brings them back home,” says Héctor. He has spent years meticulously and lovingly translating some of Emma Lazarus’s poetry and as far as we know, this is the first time her poems have been translated into the Spanish language. Join us on Friday, November 13 for the third poem in our series, “The New Colossus" in English and Spanish and “Reflections on Passing Our New Burial Ground" by Emma Lazarus' great grandmother, which we will present on Friday if time allows.
