About Us

Founded in 2003, the Ottoman-Turkish Sephardic Cultural Research Center is Istanbul’s hub for everything relating to Turkey’s Jewish communities.
The Center collects, archives, and documents Sephardic cultural productions to promote the survival, celebration, and academic study of religious and secular traditions, food, music, and the Judeo-Spanish language.  Please visit our website at http://www.sefarad.com.tr, become our fan on Facebook, and follow our publications on Scribd.
