  • Singing the Memory of Sepharad: Traditional Sephardic Song and Its Interpretation
    Singing the Memory of Sepharad: Traditional Sephardic Song and its Interpretation Katerina Garcia Abstract The transmission and interpretation of Sephardic songs is inextricably linked to Sephardic culture, and to this day represents a powerful marker of identity. It is the aim of this article to first contextualise traditional Sephardic song by outlining a brief introduction into the cultural background of the Sephardic Diaspora. Subsequently, I will introduce the various secular forms and genres of Sephardic traditional song, focusing on the modes of their interpretation by both contemporary Sephardic and non-Sephardic musicians. In doing so, I will propose a typology of performance approaches, with regards to the role that the re-imagining of Sepharad as a mythical land of the past plays in this process. Keywords: Sephardic music, Judeo-Spanish song, interpretation Introduction The Sephardic Jews, or Sephardim1, represent the second largest ethnic division within Judaism, the first one being the Ashkenazim, or German and Eastern-European Jews. In the narrowest sense of the term, Sephardim are the descendants of the Jews expelled from the Iberian Peninsula at the end of the 15th century (Spain, 1492; Portugal, 1496), and those who assimilated culturally to them in the main areas of Sephardic settlement post-1492 The areas of the Sephardic diaspora are indicated in Figure 1: Figure 1 – The Sephardic Diaspora (Sephiha and Weinstock 1997) Ethnomusicology Ireland 5 (2017) Garcia 172 For the present discussion of traditional Sephardic music, only the areas of the Eastern Mediterranean (incl. the present-day state of Israel), the Balkan Peninsula and North Africa (the former Ottoman Empire) are relevant, as it is here that a specific Sephardic language and culture develop.

  • MINYANIM: BULGARIA Sephardic and Ashkenazic Jews
    MI NY ANIM: BULGARIA Sephardic and Ashkenazic Jews By: Elisheva Kupferman; Conceptual Creator: Esti Moskovitz-Kalman 1. Introduction: Jewish culture developed throughout history and around the world. While Jewish people from all over the world share commonalities that unify them, each world Jewish community also incubated its own art, music, liturgy, and customs that is unique to them. And though each distinct community or locale boasts their own traditions, the broadest divide in customs is between the “Sephardic” and “Ashkenazic” communities. The term “Sephardim” refers to the Jewish communities that descended from Jews who lived in Spain and Portugal Before the Spanish Inquisition. More commonly, however, the term “Sephardim” is used in a wider sense to include most Jews of Asian and African origin, who use a Sephardic style of liturgy. Sephardim traditionally pray using Minhag Sefarad , which is quite similar to Nusach Edot haMizrach (liturgy of the Eastern Congregations). The term “Ashkenazim” refers to Jews descended from the medieval Jewish communities along the Rhine in Germany from Alsace in the south to the Rhineland in the north. Though Ashkenazim are literally "German Jews," the term now refers to all Jews from who identify with these traditions, though they span Western, Central, and Eastern European descent. Most Jews from Europe identify as Ashkenazi, with the noted exception of communities near the Mediterranean. The Jewish community of Bulgaria dates back to antiquity, and is made up of both Sephardic Jews (who traditionally spoke Ladino), as well as Ashkenazic Jews. As such, it is fitting that as a local Bulgarian group of Jewish leaders, you would choose to take a deeper look into the ways in which both communities differ, and where they might connect.

  • Sepharad Spain
    ELITE RECOMMENDS ANCIENT SYNAGOGUE / CÓRDOBA SEPHARAD SPAIN A JOURNEY THROUGH SPAIN’S JEWISH HERITAGE The Jewish community in Spain has a long and rich history that stretches back some 2,000 years to Roman times when Jews left Jerusalem and dispersed throughout the world. One of the largest contingents of Jews settled in the land of Sepharad (or Sefarad) as Spain was called in Hebrew language. For centuries, this Sephardic community thrived through times of peace and prosperity. It also endured periods of oppression and prosecution. Today, the vibrant Jewish heritage of the Iberian Peninsula has been rediscovered. Throughout Spain, a revival is underway of Sephardic neighborhoods, medieval synagogues and Jewish cultural events. The confluence of Jewish, Muslim and Christian cultures in this region provides a fascinating journey into the past. This guide will introduce you to the Spanish Jewish sites of prominent cities like Barcelona, Girona, Seville, Jaen, Córdoba, Toledo, Segovia, Cáceres, Ávila, León, Oviedo and Palma. Even beyond the existing cities notable for their Jewish heritage, discoveries of Jewish importance in Spain are still being made to this day, such as in Lorca, where a well-preserved synagogue—visible at the Lorca Parador hotel—is being excavated, and pieces of more than 50 rare glass synagogue oil lamps have been unearthed. Now more than ever, these cities of Sephardic Spain are welcoming guests to explore their vibrant architecture, art, grand hotels and festivals, as well as some of most distinctive fine food and wine in the world. For more information about the country’s rich Jewish heritage, visit www.spain.info.

  • Livorno: a Crossroads in the History of Sephardic Religious Music Prof
    Page 1 of 12 Livorno: A Crossroads in the History of Sephardic Religious Music Prof. Edwin Seroussi This article appeared in the Spring 2003 issue of Notes from Zamir. From "The Mediterranean and the Jews: Society, Culture and Economy in Early Modern Times", edited by Elliott Horowitz and Moises Orfali I. INTRODUCTION The geographical location of Italy at the focal point of the Mediterranean cultures is reflected in the music traditions of its Jewish communities. Throughout the centuries, several musical traditions developed among Italian Jews: the "Italiano" rite (centered in Rome), the "Tedesco" (German, i.e. Ashkenazic) tradition in the North and, from the early 16th century, several Sephardic traditions of different geographical origin (Greece, Turkey, North Africa and, later on, Western Europe) *1 The vitality of these distinctive traditions declined steadily from the late 19th century, and even more sharply after World War II. The influence of Italian art music, particularly noticeable from the 19th century on, was also a significant factor in the shaping of their present state. Surviving synagogue music from Italy thus shows traces of the interaction between different traditions. *2 Detailed studies of selected traditions should, therefore, precede any comprehensive study of ltalian synagogue music. *3 I shall focus here on the synagogue music from Livorno (Leghorn) from the 18th century onwards. I would like to stress in particular the role played by this community as a cultural crossroads, that is, as a location where the carriers of different Sephardic traditions from the Eastern and Western Mediterranean encountered and enriched each other. In the 18th century the community of Livorno inherited the leadership of the Sephardic Jews in Italy from the community of Venice, as Bonfil (1992) has already stressed.
