    Mizrachi (literally Eastern) Jews are those whose family origins are from the Middle East and North Africa and who are now the majority of Israel’s Jewish population. The evening will be an introduction to the history of Mizrachi communities and will offer an opportunity to delve into the immigration and absorption challenges they faced in the past, and the socio-economic and political issues still facing them today.  We will also offer a chance to engage with Jewish textual and cultural riches that Mizrachi heritage has to offer, as well as a cookery demonstration of some of the Mizrachi food which has enriched Israel’s gastronomy.

    Joining us from Israel will be lawyer Tammy Katsabian from  Shaharit, a “think and do” tank that brings together Israeli citizens from different social groups, and Drori Yehoshua from Memizrach Shemesh, a Beit Midrash (House of Study) and Centre for Jewish Social Activism that focuses on the legacy of Mizrachi communities. Also joining us will be London-based Fabienne Viner Luzzato who will be making a few of her family’s Tunisian recipes. Rabbi Mark and Rabbi Josh will be teaching about the history of Mizrachi communities in Israel.

    Price: £10 for over 21 year olds; under 21s come free. Tickets will be sold on the door or can be booked with bonnie@alyth.org.uk or 020 8457 8784.
