To mark the choir’s fifth anniversary, we spoke with Dr. Yonah Yaphe. His dedication is one of the main pillars of this artistic initiative, which uses music to celebrate identity and memory.
Over the past decade and a half, several publications have been promoted or sponsored under the official imprint of the Jewish Community of Porto.
The lecture will open with a performance by members of the Mekor Haim and Hamakom choirs singing four songs in Ladino and Hebrew.
The museum has welcomed up to a thousand students at once during special educational visits.
The general public relates Jewish communities to synagogue life, forgetting that it is their duty, especially outside Israel, to promote Jewish culture and history.
