Jewish Greece Travel Series on Zoom

Come on another trip where you don’t need to pack a suitcase!

“Jewish Greece” with Evan Kapros
Greece is full of history, and this is reflected in the history of Greek Jewry, a unique combination of Sephardic, Ashkenazi, and Romaniote communities with roots in Spain, the Balkans, and going back all the way to the Roman Empire. We will discover the rich history and will talk about the social perceptions prevalent in contemporary Greek society concerning Jewish identities. Finally, no good discussion about Greek Jewry can be conducted without talking about the language, food, and music of the community!

Evan Kapros was born in Greece, while later he moved to Ireland. Evan currently lives in Barcelona, where he is a volunteer at Mosaica. When in Greece, Evan was involved with groups for refugee rights and against antisemitism, and while he spent time in Ireland, he was a member of the Education Committee of the Irish Jewish Museum.
