SUMMARY:Sephardic & Mizrahi Voices: Heritage\, Visibility and Change
DESCRIPTION:Sarah Levin\, Executive Director of JIMENA (Jews Indigenous to the Middle East and North Africa)\, will discuss Jewish diversity and the experiences of Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews\, perceptions and misconceptions within and beyond the Jewish community\, and the impact of antisemitism.

As a proud mixed Turkish-Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jew\, Levin will bring a personal perspective that highlights the complexity and richness of Sephardic and Mizrahi life. \nProgram co-sponsored by the Inclusion Committee of Congregation Emanu-El B’ne Jeshurun\, Jewish Community Relations Council and Alliances of the Milwaukee Jewish Federation and Linda & Eli Frank. \n
