Sephardic Jews in America: A Walking Tour & Special Visit to The CJH
The Lower East Side Jewish Conservancy presents a walking tour as part of Festival Sefarad, uncovering more than 370 years of Sephardic Jewish history in New York City, beginning with the 23 Jews who arrived in New Amsterdam in 1654 after fleeing the Portuguese Inquisition in Brazil. The route visits colonial-era cemeteries, historic homes, and religious sites, each with its own stories of history, heritage, and culture. The tour traces a Sephardic presence in America that predates the founding of the United States by more than a century.
