Professor Shai Cohen from the University of Miami researches Jewish migration and community localization, focusing on Sephardic Jews’ journey to the Americas post-1492. His lecture examines how these early communities preserved and adapted their cultural heritage across generations.
La expulsión de los judíos de España supuso la ruptura del desarrollo de una cultura múltiple y compleja. Mientras que en España se cerró la puerta, al otro lado de la frontera, los expulsados se llevaron su cultura que fueron desarrollando en diferentes lugares como Marruecos, el Imperio Otomano y Portugal, país desde el que emigraron a Holanda.
El profesor Shai Cohen a partir de este mismo movimiento común profundizará en la historia de las primeras comunidades que se formaron en América cuya influencia nos llega hasta hoy.
