22. Seroussicrs1
Introduction to sephardi Culture. Expressive culture refers to the reflections of sephardi mentality in aesthetic media such as literature and music.
http://www.princeton.edu/~rsimon/seroussicrs1.html
Introduction to Sephardi Culture Syllabus for an undergraduate course at UCLA, 1998/9 by Prof. Edwin Seroussi
Content and format of the course This course explores different aspects of expressive culture in the Sephardi Jewish communities since their establishment in the aftermath of the expulsion from Spain and Portugal in the late fifteenth century until the present. Expressive culture refers to the reflections of Sephardi mentality in aesthetic media such as literature and music. The program of the course includes a general survey of the history of the Sephardi Jews and of Judeo-Spanish, the language of the Sephardi Jews. The main focus of the lectures is on the study of folk and learned literature and music. The conceptual differences between oral and written traditions, the definitions of literary and musical genres and the tension between religious and non-religious forms of expression will be particularly emphasized. Another important issue in this course is the impact of processes of modernization in the nineteenth century on twentieth-century Sephardi culture. The course is intended for majors in Jewish and Near Eastern studies, folklore, Jewish literature and languages, Hispanic studies and ethnomusicology.

Benjamin H. Nahman

A Brief Introduction To Our History I do not think that anyone can properly go into any subject, let alone that of one's historical roots without laying a foundation of the events that would help in understanding and getting a feel for the period in which they happened. We Nahmans, proceeding from the oft told oral history handed down through the generations from father to son, were the recipients of that history from our father Haim Joseph Nahman. That we were skeptical is an understatement but he was adamant and urged us to further inquiry. This is a humble compiling of what I have learned. The history of our people, the Sephardim, was told to us in bits and pieces. No books were read to us about that history but the pride in our heritage was imparted. Now there are books we can read. Who Are The Sephardim? There are a number of studies and more are continuing. Much of the history was lost due to the confiscation and/or burning of the literary works of the Jews of Spain before, during and after their expulsion from their homeland in 1492. Some documents are being uncovered on an ongoing basis at Cathedral archives in Spain.(

Sephardic Passover Customs and Traditions
Sephardic Passover customs and traditions can vary from region to region, country to country, city to city, community to community, and family to family. Many Sephardic customs and traditions involved assimilating Passover rituals with the culinary, musical, and linguistic traditions of the surrounding peoples in the areas where Sephardim lived. The following is a selected list of Sephardic Passover customs and traditions:
  • Sephardic Passover Customs and Traditions #3: Passover Food - Sephardim usually do not cook with matzah meal. Instead, they use matzah with eggs and in meat dishes. Olive oil is usually used in Passover cooking. Sephardic Passover Customs and Traditions #4: Passover Food - Moroccan Sephardim traditionally eat white truffles, French-style doughnuts called "beignets" that are made with matzah meal, and cakes of honey, almonds, and cinnamon during Passover. Another favorite Sephardic Passover food are fritters called "bimuelos" in Ladino. Sephardic Passover Customs and Traditions #5: Passover Food - For Passover dessert, Sephardim may eat either a sponge cake called Bisquitte pané d'Espagne (alternate spelling: "pan de Espagne"), nut cake ("torta de muez"), nut crescents ("mustachudos"), or a syrup-drenched cake called "tishpishti".

Simply put, Webring increases traffic to all participating members sites for free To join the webring, keep reading. Joining is 100% free. Who can join? We really would like to make it easy to make you be part of the Sephardi Jewish Webring, but we do need a few ground rules. The Webring is open to:
Any site that contains Sephardi content or content that is not specifically Sephardi but would be of interest to Sephardim. Your site can be cultural, commercial, personal, religious, in fact pretty much anything. However, if you are a religious site, or promote a religious organization or ideals, then you must subscribe to the Orthodox Code of Jewish Law (Shulhan 'Arukh). (No there is no link to a subcription form for this - it's just what you believe!) We must exclude:
Cults, messianic or missionary groups, Holocaust revisionist sites, sites that promote hate groups and racism, 'adult' sites or even sites that are not completely acceptable to family members of all ages and, of course, any site that represents or promotes anything that goes against the Code of Jewish Law (Shulhan 'Arukh).

The Ashkenazi, Sephardi and Oriental
Israel Table of Contents Whereas the Ashkenazi-Sephardi division is a very old one, the Ashkenazi-Oriental division is new to Israel. The term "Oriental" refers specifically to Israelis of African or Asian origin. This geographical distinction has developed over the years into a euphemism for talking about the poor, underprivileged, or educationally disadvantaged (those "in need of fostering," in the Hebrew phrase). Some social scientists as well as some Sephardi activists have seen a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy in this classification. Many Sephardim will not refer to themselves as Orientals.

S.F. SEPHARDI WILL SHARE SHANGHAI TIES
Lori Eppstein Bulletin Staff San Francisco banker Matook Nissim had hardly talked of his pre-World War II past to his own children when Stanford's Hoover Institution asked him to give an oral history of his youth in China. While his story could be told in sundry fashion by other Shanghai refugees living here, Nissim's account differs from most because he was a third-generation Shanghai resident. His family was part of a banking clan of Jews from India. The original 19th-century clan prospered in the Far East after investing in the tea, real estate and later opium trade. They built synagogues, hotels, roads and schools, Nissim said in an interview. The region's Sephardim, mainly Baghdadi's, numbered close to 2,000 at their peak, according to Nissim. By the end of World War II, Shanghai was also home to 7,000 Russian Jews and 22,000 Jews from throughout Europe. Nissim will join about 17 family members Thursday, November 12 for the opening of the Hoover Institution exhibit. The display includes his family's papers and photos documenting the Sephardim's little known history in Shanghai. 'I didn't feel qualified to talk about the era before now', said Nissim, who left China at age 26. After recently published histories of Shanghai's Jews raised much interest locally, the modest 75-year-old said he's ready to divulge his past.

History
Among the Sephardim were many who were the descendants, or heads, of wealthy families and who, as Marranos, had occupied prominent positions in the countries they had left. Some had been state officials, others had held positions of dignity within the Church; many had been the heads of large banking-houses and mercantile establishments, and some were physicians or scholars who had officiated as teachers in high schools.
