One of the largest communities of Jews from the Ottoman Empire in America, Seattle’s Sephardic Jews have made a notable impact on the city’s urban fabric-from the Central District to Pike Place and beyond. Join UW Professor Devin E. Naar for a discussion on the obstacles, opportunities, and changes encountered by Seattle’s Sephardic Jewish community in the 20th Century.
