Info:
Luis Portero, counsel for the Spanish Federation of Jewish Communities, will speak in Seattle on Sept. 1, 2015, about how descendants of Sephardic Jews can gain Spanish citizenship. Portero is coming from Spain to answer the many questions Sephardic Jews have about how to apply for and gain citizenship in Spain. The country in June approved a law that enables descendants of Sephardic Jews expelled as a result of the 1492 expulsion to receive Spanish citizenship.
Portero will speak from 7 to 9 p.m. at Kane Hall at the University of Washington. Members of the community are invited to attend and have their questions answered.
Portero is coming to Seattle at the invitation of the Seattle Sephardic Network, a new local non-profit that collaborates with other community institutions to pursue inspiring and informative programs celebrating the Seattle area's vibrant Sephardic culture.
This event is an opportunity for community members to hear from someone on the inside of the Spanish citizenship process, in addition to learning about the Seattle Sephardic Network's activities and plans for the future, which go beyond the topic of Spanish citizenship. The event is co-sponsored by the University of Washington's Center for Western European Studies.
No RSVP is needed for this free event. For more information, contact Doreen Alhadeff at Seattlesephardicnetwork@gmail.com. For more information about Seattle Sephardic Network visit www.seattlesephardicnetwork.org.
