As a Jew who grew up in a bakery owned by my parents and uncle, and before that my grandparents, I know the life of Jews who have to work hard and own their own business. This is part of my family heritage.
My US family lived in New Jersey, just about an hour, an hour and a half from NYC.
In Seattle, at the turn of the century, when many in my Ashkenazi US family were coming to the United States, so too were Sephardi families, but they were landing in Seattle on the other side of the country.
This Youtube series explores the Sephardis in Seattle through the Pike Place Market, which still stands today!

From Harif UK:
For all the attention the Middle East conflict attracts, the expulsion of nearly a million Jews from Arab countries is rarely acknowledged. This is why Lyn Julius has written ‘Cast Out’, a long-form essay published by the Jewish Quarterly.For thousands of years, Jewish communities lived across the Middle East and North Africa, forming significant parts of the populations of cities such as Baghdad, Tunis, Cairo and Casablanca. Today, those communities have almost entirely disappeared.

From Harif UK:
Baghdadi Jews have shaped Singapore’s history since 1819, yet their stories often go untold. This talk highlights the lives of David Marshall, Singapore’s first Chief Minister and a champion of inclusive citizenship, and Felice Isaacs, a leading figure in Jewish communal life—both of whom survived Japanese internment and helped rebuild the city. Their resilience and leadership in politics, law, and communal work helped forge Singapore’s multicultural identity—a legacy that still resonates today.More Info: https://www.harif.org/event/the-baghdadi-builders-of-singapore/

Syrian Jewish writer Esther Chehebar, author of the best-selling novel Sisters of Fortune & a co-host of the new podcast GOLDA Girls; Sarah Levin, executive director of JIMENA, a San Francisco-based nonprofit that advocates for Jews from the Middle East and North Africa, who has Turkish Jewish roots; and Rozeeta Mavashev, North America executive director of Masa Israel, who is of Bukharian Jewish descent, will share their perspectives as well as stories of how their experiences have evolved in an America—now celebrating its 250th birthday—where Sephardic Jews were the first to settle but where Ashkenazi Jews have long comprised the overwhelming majority of the Jewish population.#Mazeldon #Jewish #Judaism #Sephardi #Mizrahi #JewishHistory #MENA #JewishWomen
