You can pre-order the book now on Amazon.***Unbounded Jews*** is the story of Denmark's (failed) engagement and exchange with Morocco in the 18th century. The story is told through two Jewish family clans, Sumbel and Buzaglo, whose members were adventurers, cosmopolitans, merchants, and diplomats. Denmark became the first country with which the sultan made a trade and peace treaty in 1753. Denmark was central to the African country's efforts to establish diplomatic relations and trade with other European countries.The 18th century was marked by strong competition among the European powers for colonies and trade with overseas countries. The Danish king Frederik V invested heavily in trade with Morocco – both economically and militarily – but today the adventure has been forgotten. The Danish-Moroccan adventure and its dramatic human consequences add significant chapters to Jewish and Danish history. Based on Danish and a wide range of international archives, Bent Blüdnikow follows the Sephardic Jews across much of the globe to understand their motives, actions, and significance.Amazon USA - Amazon UK - Amazon Netherlands - Amazon France - Amazon Canada - Amazon Brasil - Amazon Australia***Can you Volunteer or Donate?***The Sephardic Genealogical Society is looking for volunteers.

Iberian Jews are recorded living in Israel at least since the Middle Ages. Israel is now home to the world's largest Sephardic community. As well as locally generated records, many documents from the diaspora have found their way to Israel, while archives from other countries - especially those in Hebrew - have been transcribed in Israel, often by the Israel Genealogy Research Association. For non-Israelis, especially non-Hebrew-speakers, this can be a difficult landscape to navigate. Our speaker, ***Rose Feldman***, has taken a lead in making these records accessible to a wider audience. Her talk introduces us to the key genealogical resources in Israel.https://www.youtube.com/live/CAy9z-swDPc*Best wishes**Ton and David**Sephardic World*
