The story of the native Jews of Central Asia, Bukharian Jews are situated at the intersection of Sephardic, Mizrahi, and Russian-speaking Jewish life. Weaving together a tapestry of culture, history, personal narrative, and religious traditions, we will explore the rich and dynamic experience of the millennia-old Bukharian Jewish community, as well as how their journey fits into the broader saga of the Jewish People. After services and before this fascinating talk, enjoy a special Bukharian-themed Kiddush.
