Jewish Izmir Tour
Hosted By: Walnut Street Synagogue
Walnut Street Synagogue presents a virtual tour of Izmir’s small but vibrant Jewish community, whose presence in the city dates back centuries and grew with a major influx of Sephardic Jews after the 1492 Spanish expulsion. The session traces the community’s role in shaping the city’s economy, culture, and intellectual landscape, along with its enduring connection to Ladino, the historical language of Sephardic Jews. Through visuals, stories, and interactive discussion, participants will visit historic synagogues and explore the community’s evolution, challenges, and unique traditions.
