The Holocaust erased more than 6 million Jewish souls from the world. While most of these victims were Ashkenazi Jews, a significant percentage were Ladino-speaking Sepharadim, primarily in Greece, the Balkans, and the former Yugoslavia.
Today, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we stop and remember the more than 6 million Jewish victims of the Holocaust, and particularly the over 66,000 Greek Jews and hundreds of thousands of Sepharadim of Europe. #WeRemember

It is with deep sadness that we learned of the passing of Haham Bashi Isak Haleva, the Chief Rabbi of the Republic of Turkey - tyahuditoplumu.
Haham Haleva was born in Istanbul in 1940 and served as the Chief Rabbi of Turkey since 2002. He dedicated more than 50 years of his life in service to the Jewish Community of Turkey as a teacher, communal leader, and spiritual guide. A speaker of six languages, including Ladino as his mother tongue, he excelled in interfaith dialogue and representing the voice of Sephardic Jewry.
Haham Haleva was the model for what a Sephardic Haham can and should be; his kind heart, deep knowledge of our Sephardic tradition, commitment to Torah, and lightheaded demeanor epitomized the classic Sephardic tradition of rabbinical leadership. He held a deep sense of responsibility for his fellow Turkish and Sephardic Jews around the world, and taught generations of students during his rabbinic tenure that even today serve in our Sephardic Brotherhood leadership in the United States.
His loss is felt throughout the global Sephardic Jewry, and our American Sephardic Community has lost both a teacher and a spiritual leader today.
On behalf of the entire National Executive Committee, we extend our collective condolences to the Haleva Family and the Jewish Community of Turkey. Ke Su Alma Repoze en Ganeden - May the Haham Bashi's Soul Rest in the Garden of Eden.

#ThisWeekinSephardicHistory: On November 15, 2003, an Al Qaeda terrorist cell operating in Istanbul carried out two bombings on that Shabbat morning at the Neve Salom Central Synagogue and Bet Israel Synagogue, murdering 24 people and injuring more than 300 in the attacks. This week, we stop and remember them on the Hebrew date for the annual memorial (Meldado) 19 Mar Heshvan.

Bivas – the Ladino High School Club of America, held its second National High School Shabbaton from November 7-11 in Seattle, WA. More than three dozen Sephardic high school students gathered for an incredible three-day weekend led by Brotherhood Managing Director Ethan Marcus (New York), Bivas Coordinator Miriam Raphael Klein (Boca Raton, FL), high school educator Avi Garson (New York), and Head of School of the Seattle Hebrew Academy Rabbi Benjy Owen (Seattle).
Students joined from Sephardic communities in Philadelphia, New York, New Jersey, Seattle, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and South Florida, meeting one another for the first time in-person and getting the chance to experience a unique Ladino-speaking weekend. We learned how to bake Sephardic Borekas and stuffed grape leaves, led our own morning Shaharit services, had incredible Torah learning sessions, explored the Seattle Space Needle and Pike’s Place Market, and learned tons of #Ladino words and phrases!
A special thank you to all our sponsors and supports, especially our affiliate synagogues @ezrabessaroth @sbhseattle, for hosting this incredible weekend!
