Dutch Brazil and the first Jews of New York

Meeting - Sunday 17th May 2020, with the Sephardi Heritage Project
Daniela Weil will talk about the first public Jews in the Americas. After the Portuguese drove the Dutch from Brazil in 1654, some Jews traveled via the Caribbean to New Amsterdam, later New York. The product of five years of research in the Americas and Europe, Daniela's new book, 'The Diary of Asser Levy: First Jewish Citizen of New York' has just been published.
The seminar will be on Sunday at 21:00 Israel time; 20:00 Paris/Amsterdam time; 19:00 London time; 14:00 EDT; and 11:00 PST.
