Academia

Jewish Heritage Alliance (JHA) seeks to create partnerships with the academic community and various organizations, including archival sources, to explore and promote the Sefarad Legacy and its profound consequences. The Sefarad saga is a complex, far-reaching narrative spanning thousands of years. From the early arrival of the Jews to the Iberian Peninsula, through the trials and tribulations including massacres, forced conversions, expulsion of 1492, followed by the exile and the creation of new worlds, through and including present day.

Jewish Heritage Alliance seeks to preserve and promote Jewish heritage. To do so we are creating a Strategic Partner Alliance bringing together a tapestry of people and entities committed to issues, events and concerns relevant to Jewish Heritage. We present topics and bodies of work with “outside the box” thinking intended to educate our diverse audience and bring pertinent, often unique information and events to the fore.

Leading our current efforts is a new platform exploring the Saga of Sefarad, one of the great periods of Jewish history, a period of immense achievements followed by tragedy, and its impact on the Jewish People and the world. This was a watershed moment in the annals of Jewish History, yet it receives scant attention compared to other consequential Jewish historical events.
