ENGLISH CORNER, CON LINDA JIMÉNEZ – This week’s trivia question:  What countries does IJE’s Crypto-Jews course focus on?

The American Sephardi Federation’s Institute of Jewish Experience is dedicated to ensuring that today’s Jews know their history, appreciate the diversity of the Jewish People, and have a sense of pride for the Jewish contributions to civilization.

The Institute’s mission is creating the future of Jewish heritage.  They do this by bringing knowledge and pride to new audiences and generations; serving as a centralized resource for learning about Jewish customs, traditions, and history; producing new online content for diverse audiences; celebrating milestones and holidays together with Jews from around the world;  and conducting academic conferences.  You can access their YouTube channel here.

Drora Arussy is the Senior Director of the Institute of Jewish Experience and this week she is speaking with us about the Institute, its mission, and its many different activities.
