Bom Dia everyone 😊🖖This group is growing very fast so I want to say Welcome to all the members old and new!I also want to make a suggestion 😊If you are making a post “hello I just joined the group” maybe add why?It would be more interesting and informative for the rest of the group!If you have photos of Portugal or Spain to add to your post or an artwork, or any other information it is also would be wonderful 😊I am (for one) is a visual person and love to look at pictures!As the question arose about what this group represents I’ll tell you this, It represents a community.Past and present.We are here to learn, to share information about Sephardi heritage and Jewish present, to share personal discoveries about personal history, to share art, music, books and articles about Jewish culture and history, to ask questions.But Jewish people were forced to move around so not only Sephardim lived on the Iberian peninsula. In the last 100 years many Ashkenazi Jews made it a home!Let’s hear your stories!We’ve been divided and separated by ghetto walls long enough so if other people want to celebrate with as, want to join our community and learn about us let’s welcome them too!If people know more about each other I believe it would be harder for “powers that be” to separate us into “others”So this is my shpill (how do you say story, shpill in ladino?) and I am sticking with it 🤓Bom fim de semana 🖖✡️🍎🍯
