Episode 7: Sephardi Jewry

The Jewish community is diverse, we all share similar traditions, values and beliefs but come from all across the world.

Joining ECAJ Host Alissa Foster is Rabbi Isaac Choua to discuss the story of Sephardi Jewry and the Abraham Accords from the perspective of Jews from North Africa and the Middle East.

He is founder and editor-in-chief of haSepharadi.com, a platform dedicated to the shared and varied traditions and of the many unique groups within the pan-Sephardic community, associate museum curator at Kehila Kedosha Janina Synagogue and Museum in New York, and Religious Affairs Committee and as a National Central Council Member for the Sephardic Jewish Brotherhood of America.
