In the Sixteenth century, a community of Jews violently displaced from Spain and Portugal found a warm home and a new musical style among their new neighbors under Muslim rule in the Ottoman Empire. East of the River Ensemble, led by New Shul Ritual Leader Daphna Mor with Nina Stern, will present us with the beautiful music of the Sephardic Jews of North Africa and the Ottoman lands.
The concert will take place at Gotham Moto Depot, featuring a menu of global Jewish cuisine designed and prepared by chef Sami Katz, and where Director of Operations Itamar Dotan Katz will display his recent photographs from Israel-Palestine of people and places affected by the current war.
