“Arrivals” - A Jewish Romeo & Juliet love story based on historical events. A hit in Seattle, now premiering in New York.

When the first Sephardic Jew arrived in Seattle in 1902, not everything went as planned. Marco Cordova, a young Sephardic Jew from Turkey, came to America to make his fortune. Bayla Keigelman, a fragile Ashkenazi girl from Russia, arrived fleeing a pogrom. Their meeting seemed written in the stars until tradition declared their love forbidden.

Who’s joining us this Sunday at the Greek Jewish Festival?! The American Sephardi Federation is proud to co-sponsor this special annual celebration. See you there!
