Jewish Bulgaria: A Sephardic History
Join us for a dynamic exploration of Bulgaria’s rich Jewish heritage from antiquity to the present.
Learn about Sephardic rabbinic luminaries Joseph Karo and Eliezer Papo and their connection to Bulgaria. We will also focus on the post-Ottoman modern period and the arrival of Zionism to Bulgaria.
An important story – the survival of 50,000 Bulgarian Jews during the Holocaust – where some of the most prominent politicians, clergymen, and intellectuals stood up for their Jewish neighbours.
