The Sephardic Studies Program

The Sephardic Studies Program is an academic initiative that explores the history, culture, language, and traditions of Sephardic Jews—those with origins in Spain, Portugal, and the broader Mediterranean region. It aims to deepen understanding of their unique experiences, contributions, and heritage, often through research, lectures, and cultural events. The program promotes appreciation of Sephardic identity within the broader Jewish and global contexts, fostering scholarship, cultural preservation, and interdisciplinary dialogue about this vibrant and historically significant community.
