In Turkey, a festival revives a jewel of the Sephardic world
Izmir, Turkey, once known in Greek as Smyrna, has had a Jewish presence since antiquity, with early church documents mentioning Jews as far back as the second century AD.
The festival included concerts of Jewish and Ladino music, traditional food tastings and lectures on Izmir’s Jewish community.(photo credit: DAVID I. KLEIN/JTA )ByDAVID I. KLEIN/JTA
