The Yeshiva University
Museum in New York City
will kick off a two-year ex-
hibit on Sephardic Jews Nov.
20 — featuring more than a
thousand religious and
cultural objects, photographs,
paintings and costumes —
commemorating the 500th
anniversary of the expulsion
of Jews from Spain during the
Inquisition.
The exhibit, "The Sephar-
dic Journey: 1492-1992" will
chronicle the history and
lives of Jewish communities
throughout the world whose
members are descendants of
Spanish and Portuguese
Jews.
The 500th anniversary of
the expulsion of Jews from
Spain will be formally mark-
ed in 1992 with worldwide
observances planned by the
Spanish government and
Sephardic Jewish
communities.
Many exhibit artifacts from
Turkey, Greece, Iraq, Iran,
Morocco, Bulgaria, Curacao,
Israel, Syria, Yugoslavia and
Western Europe, will be on
public view for the first time.
Included are a 12-piece
ceremonial costume worn by
North African brides, 15th
century illuminated manu-
scripts, a Chanukah lamp
from 15th century Spain, a
liturgical manuscript in
Hebrew, Spanish and English
from Jamaica, postal covers
from the private Jewish mail
system in Morocco, a hand-
embroidered 12-foot high ark
curtain from Vienna's
Sephardic congregation, 19th
century Bulgarian Torah
covers, and a marriage con-
tract from 1617 Amsterdam
which includes land holdings
in Portugal as part of the
dowry.
Also shown will be an il-
luminated 18th century
Papal certificate, affixed with
the Papal seal, allowing three
of Rome's most respected
Sephardim to quarter
soldiers.
The Portuguese Synagogue
of Amsterdam is allowing
items still used at services to
leave the premises for the
first time. Included is a large
16th century silver basin us-
ed for priestly rites, which is
inscribed by donor Abraham
Herrera whose books on kab-
balah are considered among
the greatest works on Jewish
mysticism.
The exhibit will be preced-
ed by a video presentation in-
troducing visitors to the
history of Jews on the Iber-
rian Peninsula. The collection

is being divided into five ma-
jor areas: Turkey and the
Balkans; the Middle East;
North Africa; Western
Sephardim and the New
World.
During the course of the ex-
hibit, the musuem will hold
children's educational pro-
grams funded by the Maurice
Amado Foundation of Los
Angeles. Puppets represen-
ting Sephardic historical
figures who made important
contributions to Jewish
scholarship and culture will
be used to interpret exhibi-
tion themes.
There will also be musical
programs and workshops for
both children and adults. A
seven-month series of lectures

Many exhibit
