Jewish Istanbul: Where East Meets West

Hosted By: Qesher

Qesher will host a presentation on the Jewish heritage of Istanbul, a city known for its blend of religions and cultures at the crossroads of two continents. Once known as Constantinople, Istanbul’s skyline of minarets and domes reflects its diverse history, including synagogues across its neighborhoods with unique stories. The event offers an exploration of the city’s vibrant Jewish culture and heritage.

Host

Qesher

There are Jewish communities all around the globe with their own unique history, culture, places, and most of all, people and stories. All of them different, but sharing so much. The aim of Qesher is to connect these different Jewish traditions, not just to know of each other, but to learn about each other. We believe that there is great value in creating a deeper understanding within the Jewish world and exploring Jewish experiences and identities in all their diversity.
