What We Read in 2021 - Sephardic Book Review

In the Summer of 2021, our Greek Jewish & Sephardic Young Professionals Network launched a virtual Sephardic Book Club with participants from New York, Washington, Montreal, Toronto, Chicago, and Boston! The club meets once a month over a virtual bottle of Raki to discuss the chosen book. As a wrap up to the end of the year, the Book Club came out with the ranking of the books they read this year.

1. Family Papers by Sarah Abrevaya Stein

2. Becoming Ottomans by Julia Philips Cohen

3. The Jews of Ottoman Izmir by Dina Danon

4. Zikrayat: Eight Jewish Women Remember Egypt by Nayra Atiya
