New York City first-ever month-long celebration of Sephardic Jewish culture
New York City has officially launched its first-ever month-long celebration of Sephardic Jewish culture, highlighting the rich traditions, heritage, and contributions of Sephardic Jews from the Middle East, North Africa, and the Iberian Peninsula. This groundbreaking initiative features a full schedule of events, including concerts, film screenings, lectures, synagogue tours, food tastings, and cultural exhibits across all five boroughs.
Led by the American Sephardi Federation and various community partners, the celebration aims to bring wider recognition to Sephardic history—often underrepresented in mainstream Jewish narratives. Events explore topics like Ladino music, Moroccan cuisine, and the migration stories of Sephardic communities, offering both educational insight and cultural immersion.
This moment marks a meaningful step toward inclusion and cultural preservation. With New York being one of the most diverse Jewish hubs globally, organizers hope the initiative sparks ongoing efforts to honor and integrate Sephardic voices into broader Jewish cultural programming.
The celebration is open to the public and welcomes attendees of all backgrounds who want to learn more about Jewish diversity. Whether you’re attending a traditional cooking workshop or listening to live Sephardic folk music, every event offers a unique opportunity to deepen your understanding of this vibrant community.
