Education is the passport to the future

Leaders of the Jacob Benjamin Elias Synagogue in Stamford Hill, London, hope a £300,000 extension will be finished in January and will improve dining, educational and social facilities for the Sephardi community. 

Shul president Barook Abraham said: “Our congregation consists mainly of Iraqi Jews with some Syrian and Persian Jews. We want to extend links to Asian and Moroccan Jews. By having more activities in shul, we hope to establish a more integrated community.” 


The American Sephardi Federation preserves and promotes the history, traditions, and rich mosaic culture of Greater Sephardic communities, as an integral part of the Jewish experience. Along with public education services, the American Sephardi Federation also run Diarna, who are working digitally to preserve Jewish history across the Middle East and North Africa. 

The Sephardic Studies Digital Collection (SSDC) at the University of Washington serves as a bulwark against the loss of culture, language, and history. As the world’s first major digital repository of sources pertaining to the historically significant Sephardic Jews of the Mediterranean world, the SSDC includes key archival documents.
