Sephardic Roots
A group of young artists, writers and musicians discuss their generation’s connection to its Sephardic roots in an event titled Young Artists Exploring Our Heritage: A Journey Where Art Meets History. The panel discussion, moderated by the Forward’s art and culture editor, Alana Newhouse, features Michael Jay Cohen, Michelle Ishay-Cohen, Vanessa Hidary and Galeet Dardashti. The American Sephardi Federation sponsors the talk.
