Can you recommend any reference books on Mizrahi and Sephardic Jews?

Out of all the anti-Semitic garbage lies going around these about Jews and Israel/Levant this idea there was no Jewish presence since 70AD really really bothers me. My Dad's side is Mizrahi from Damascus and were likely there for hundreds if not thousands of years given my Surname. It's important to discuss the Musta'arabim and the continuous presence of Jews in the Levant and the main regions of Jerusalem and the Galilee region. it really does not get enough attention. Thank you this was very informative

One of the biggest charlatan s to have passed by the community. Please be aware he stole a holy book before his passing and he has no academic background. He was a foreman at the saida cemetery and nothing more

Thank you for this fascinating talk🙏 Is there a good book that you can recommend on the life of Jews in muslim countries? With good illustrations, ideally. Thank you

Before Israel...pogroms.

😢

I don't believe the statement about the last Jew of Eritrea. Perhaps you meant the previous white Jew, since Eritreans are also Jews although they may be afraid to admit it for safety reasons. I know there are two or three synagogues in Asmara and other cities, but if you'd like to find out more, you should do more research. Unfortunately, some people believe that you have to have white skin to be Jewish, but that's not true. Please respect the Jewish community in Eritrea. I don't understand why Israel never talks about Eritrean Jews.

Hi, Everybody. I am so proud of you. I am Eritrean Jewish and I want to joine you If you give me a time to talk. Thank you very much from Yosef Michael Eritrean Orthodox Jewish.

you cover a lot of ground in this talk well done !

how can i find out more about your organisation?

what a wonderful talk ! thank you !

Does anybody know the most common last names of the Sephardic families that were living in Azores during the 1700/1800s? A long distant Jewish ancestor of mine was Azorean of North African origin. There was also a mixed marriage there and then his descendants migrated to South America. How did Jews see a Jew marrying a Christian in the late 1700s/early1800s?? Would that person be erased from the family? I`m related to last names like Bensimon, Azoulay, Cohen, Abecassis, Franco, Amiel. Thank you for your time.

Wow. Great presentation! I lived in Shanghai and of course over there Victor Sasson is still written about. The mark he left to Shanghai is spectacular especially most of the buildings still standing and in use in Shanghai, such as the Cathay hotel, now Fairmount Peace hotel, where they have sort of gallery on the first floor also open to visitors. As well as the famous jazz club room, where on the wall there is a picture of Sir Victor Sasson enjoying company of friends. Thanks for uploading to TH-cam ❤

This is very interesting and informative about the Jewish ✡️ community of Syria I which I knew very little about

As always with this lady, her presentation has plenty of errors. It sounded like it was taken from Wikipedia or worse. She doesn't like to be called out for her lack of knowledge and like to ask for what is wrong in her presentation, so here we go: 1- The Syrian Jewish community is not "one" of the oldest in the world. Indeed is THE OLDEST in the world. Period. 2- The communities of Damascus and Aleppo WERE NOT MILES AWAY IN MENTALITY. That is a silly myth. Indeed while different traditions developed, both communities share more things than those that divide them. Aleppo follow a more Sephardic oriented practice, while Damascus is more Mustarabi oriented. The Hakhamim of these communities were always in touch with each other and shared responsas all the time . 3 - There was NEVER a prohibition to marry each other, but those marriages were rare. Once both communities emigrated to the Americas, those intermarriages became very common. 4- Qamishly is Syrian Kurdistan, not Turkish Kurdistan. 5- "Halab" is not only Arabic ( it is correctly pronounced "Arabic", not "Arab" while talking about the language. When you talk about the people and ethnic background is "Arab") but also Hebrew and Aramaic. 6- it's pronounced Aram SobÁ, not Aram SÓba. The accentuating goes in the last Á of SobÁ. 7 - Damascus has always been larger than Aleppo, so Aleppo was NEVER the 3rd largest city of the Ottoman empire. 8- It is pronounced "SephAradim" correctly, not Sephardim, which is an incorrect mispronunciation from Israel. 9- The term "Franco Jews", or "Franjis", doesn't mean "Free Jews" but "European Sephardic Jews" and they came from Italy, France and England, NOT Holland. 10- Is not "Dimmi Rules", but "DimmA rules". 11- The Aleppo Codex was not "produced" in Syria but was written in Tiberias. ( Ms Julius later tells the correct narrative)The Sasson Codex was written likely in Damascus. 12- Is false that only in Aleppo and Baghdad were able to study and/or understand the Talmud. There were other important centers of Study like Isfahan, Saana, Istanbul, Salonika, etc. 13- it is correctly pronounced "Umayad" like "Oomayad" sound, not Omayad. 14- Damascus doesn't have a capital. Damascus is a city which is the capital of Syria. 15- The Christians of Syria are NOT mainly Greek Orthodox but SYRIAC ORTHODOX, which are not the same. 16- Jobar is not a few kilometers from Damascus. Jobar IS in Damascus 17- Damascus was equally rich as Aleppo, since the political power since antiquity was concentrated in the city. 18-Damacus was NOT "largely " untouched by "European influences". Franco Jews and European Christians settled in Damascus too. Families like the Lisbonas, Amiga and Paredes were very important in Damascus. All of them Franco Jews. 19- The "De Picciotto " family ( my family), were not from Damascus, but from Aleppo 20- The Keter Aram Soba or Aleppo Codex was not exactly presented to Ben Zvi. It is well known kwn that he took it and hide it, literally stealing it from the community. 21- The Damascus Codex is a late copy of the Aleppo Codex. Is not the Torah but the whole Tanakh. 22- The Aleppo Codex IS NOT in the Shire of the book. Some pages are there and they switch those pages regularly to make people believe that the whole book is there but indeed, several pages are lost. Probably the evil Ben Zvi kept them. Giving some as "presents" to some dignitaries and diplomats. He stole not only the Keter but also several Seforim from other communities. Hopefully, someday there will be justice for the patrimony stolen from Middle Eastern communities. 23- Syrian Jews NEVER SPOKE LADINO! Ladino is the language of the Jews from the Balkans, Greece and Turkey. Never Syria. 24- There were other Jewish communities in Syria, including the cities of Hama and Homs. Also the Jewish communities of Antakia, Antieb (modern Gaziantieb) and Urfa in modern day Turkey are Syrian, not Turkish. And to be fair with Ms. Julius, she uses correctly the terms Palestine, British Palestine and Eretz Israel and State of Israel. The period prior the formation of the modern state of Israel is correctly narrated. Also the stories of Rabbi Abadi and Judy Feldcar are accurate. She was the one that rescued the remained Syrian Jews from Damascus. The committee help but all the operations were done thanks to her. Kudos for not using the derogatory term "Mizrahim" to designate or call Syrian Jews. We never used. We always called ourselves either, SephAradim, Arab Jews, Halabim and Shamis.

*Very wrong information there at the end!* *The King of Morocco did NOT invite the Hamas leader for dinner! He was only invited on behalf of the PJD party and had a meeting with its delegates, which was an exception as the deep state tolerated this to give a form of leniency to the political administration at the time! There are also some mistakes -- as Morocco, particularly the elite, has always been in favor of the Jewish population since the Reconquista during the 14th and 15th century!* *Also, the democracy you tend to criticize of Morocco is hypocritical and does not reflect the context of the region -- as by far, historically, Morocco stands to be the only stabilized political regime in the MENA region!* *--Please do conduct your scholarly research with more peer-review from academics who are fluent in the political history of the Jewish in the region. Thanks!!*

ich liebe yuden und israeel ich bin aus iran tehran❤❤❤

Fascinating seeing this in May 2024. Thank you, so very interesting.

This is very interesting and informative

The traitor Jews are NOT manipulated. They know the gravy train they are on. t

????? Who are these traitor Jews who are supporting the Iranian regime of murderers?? Gentlemen??? Hardly

Lyn, You mentioned George Benssousan book about the Jews in Arab lands, were you able to read it? I have read it because I am bilingual in French and English. It is 976 pages of extremely well documented by reliable sources that life for the majority ofJews as Dhimmis was simply awful. I also think there is not much in the english language on that topic. This video was a first for me, thank you. This was posted a year ago and only one comment?

Ameen Inshallah!!!

This organisation is not pro- free speech. It deletes comments that provide an alternative viewpoint in a peaceful manner.

I also do not want to comment too negatively on this post because the female host is clearly well read, an intellecual and genuinely a kind and welcoming host. Depsite this, it is important though to flag when an association is inviting a guest speaker who has a history of being anti-human rights, has labelled civilian targets as terrorists, and is a blatant state-owned mouthpiece, like Hen Mazzig.

i am from Terceira Azores and Porto Judeu means PORT JEW and we all friendly my family Lawrence or Borges and Pires

Fascinating, thank you.

Hello

Merkel deed t nog eens dunnetjes over: liever Turksch dan Paapsch.

Do the Karaites have a cuisine that differs markedly from other Jewish (Ashkenazi, Sephardi, Mizrahi, etc.) cuisines?

Fascinating.

First of all, the 30,000 figure comes from Hamas and there is no way they could have arrived at that figure so quickly, so it may be wildly exaggerated. Secondly, there is no breakdown between terrorists and civilians. Several studies have already demonstrated that statistically. the majority cannot have been women and children. When the dust settles it will become clear that the majority of the dead have been Hamas terrorists.

This is the real solution amazing these two leaders

Apparently the Syrian govt recruited hundreds of ex Bosnian Muslim SS men to fight against the Israelis in the 1948 war.

Arabs should be happy hitler was defeated. The arians viewed the arabs as an inferior yet useful race. Had the nazis won the war the arabs usefulness would have ended and the arabs would've joined the jews as most wanted.😮

never have a male nurse...

Hi, very interesting debate. I am portuguese of west African origin. I had the privilege of spending 6 years in the Azores Archipelago, Terceira Island. One of my university colleagues, discovered the Jewish cemetery, hidden between residential properties in the main city, Angra do Heroísmo. This cemetery was a 5 minute walk from the students residence in Cerrado do Bailão, where the main Summer Christian festivities usually happens, São Joaninas. As for the Jews that came from North Africa, this same colleague discovered by talking to locals the existence of a community descendants of people that were shipwrecked from people travelling to or from Mexico, not certain of the century. This just to question if the North African Jews that made Azores their home willing travellers or Shipwrecked people? By the way, both me and my colleague were studying farming and agricultural degrees, in between the books and the booze we would look into other aspects of local history and life, as one does.

I have started reading the book. Thank you. It is excellent!

Salam and shalom from Dacia 🌳 (Valahia, Romania, Moldova). I invite all our Jewish brothers and sisters all-round the world to islam bezrat Elohim. The correct translation is: "There is no deity/divinity but God and Muhammad is His (and last) prophet." The only way to G-d is only through Islam. Moshe rabenu, Awraham awinu, David ha Melech were all Muslims. All jews are born as muslemim, shewach Elohim. Dear Jewish brother, Dear Jewish sister, I invite you to Islam. אני רוצה להזמין אותה לאיסלאם ❤️💐 שלאם ושלום מדצ'יה 🌳 ( ולאכיה, רומניה, מולדובה)

There's not a single statement of Germans saying Arabs were inferior?

Wonderful conversation ❤❤❤

Tangier was international, not under Spanish authority.

Most Famous Iraqi Jewish surname: Kattan Sasoom Kadoorie

One SS officer reporting on impressions from the mufti's Sarajevo speech said Husseini was reserved about fighting Bolshevism, his main enemies being Jewish settlers in Palestine and the English.[259] During a visit in July 1943 the Mufti said: "The active cooperation of the world's 400 million Muslims with their loyal friends, the German, can be of decisive influence upon the outcome of the war. You, my Bosnian Muslims, are the first Islamic division [and] serve as an example of the active collaboration....My enemy's enemy is my friend."[260] Himmler in addressing the unit on another occasion declared "Germany [and] the Reich have been friends of Islam for the past two centuries, owing not to expediency but to friendly conviction. We have the same goals."[261]
