Jewish Amsterdam: A Small Community with a Giant History
Hosted By: Qesher
Nachshon Rodrigues Pereira, one of the few remaining descendants of the original Portuguese Jews of Amsterdam, will describe what Jewish Amsterdam was like in the 17th century, when the city was the center of the Jewish world, offering the best Jewish education, housing the most prominent rabbis, and being home to the largest synagogue in the world. Find out how this community was shaped and how it shaped its environment. Discover how much was lost during World War II and what remains now in a compelling journey embellished with music, visuals, and anecdotes.
