Syrian Jews in Brooklyn number 70,000 constituting the largest group of Syrian Jews in the world. This tight knit community defies American narratives of Jewish success. With through financial success they build a stronger more cohesive community with the religious institutions and organizations. This session, based on Kligman’s doctoral research, will highlight the life of Syrian Jews in their traditions and liturgical music. Visual, audio and video examples will show their unique customs and traditions.
