Join Jewish Majorca for a presentation about Sephardic life in one of the most beautiful yet brutal parts of the Caribbean. Professor Stanley Mirvis guides us on a visual tour of Jewish life in Jamaica. He addresses such themes as Sephardi paths of migration, Jewish involvement in slave transportation, civil rights, and the Jewish participation in Caribbean piracy.
Stanley Mirvis is Assistant Professor of History and Harold and Jean Grossman Chair of Jewish Studies at Arizona State University. He is the author of The Jews of Eighteenth-Century Jamaica: A Testamentary History of a Diaspora in Transition (Yale University Press, 2020)
We are going around the world with our Hot Air Zoom Balloon every Thursday.
