Ladino Month: Jewish Salonica Book Release

Jewish Studies professor, Devin Naar, will be speaking about his new book, Jewish Salonica at the UW Tower Auditorium and Jconnect invites you to hear more about this Sephardic community!

The city of Salonica (Thessaloniki) was once home to the largest Sephardic Jewish community in the world. In this lecture, Prof. Naar will explore the fate of Salonica’s Jews and offer behind-the-scenes insight into how he uncovered the previously lost sources necessary to tell the story. Join the Stroum Center and the Sephardic Studies Program for this exciting book launch event.

Light kosher reception to follow lecture.

Devin E. Naar is the Isaac Alhadeff Professor of Sephardic Studies and Associate Professor of History and Jewish Studies at the University of Washington.
