SEMINARS

Bryan Schwartz and Jay Sand, two of the world's most knowledgeable sources on world Jewry, conduct a busy schedule of multimedia educational seminars around North America.

Scattered Among the Nations

Inca Jews in Peru. The last Jewish village in Azerbaijan. The Jewish hill tribes of northeastern India. Visit them all in one stunning photographic presentation by world traveling speaker, writer and photographer Bryan Schwartz. Bryan has lived and prayed with Jewish communities in 28 countries and more than 100 towns and villages on five continents during the last fifteen years.

The slide presentation previews some of the most exciting photos and stories from his book with collaborators Jay Sand and Sandy Carter, Jews of Color: In Color!.

Aside from a generalized, world Jewish communities presentation, Bryan can customize a lecture to the needs of a congregation, focusing on a specific country or region. For example, he might feature the Jews of Latin America, Jews at the Edges of the Former Soviet Union, Jewish life in the former Ukrainian shtetls, the Jews of India, the Jews of North or South Africa or the Mountain Marranos in Portugal.

The Jews of Africa:


Jay Sand's "Jews of Africa" program can be anything from a straightforward speech to a multifaceted, multimedia presentation. For example,

  • Invite families to enjoy an evening of African-Jewish food, music and images
  • Have a fundraising dinner with recipes from Africa followed by a "Jews of Africa"discussion
  • Use the slide presentation as the anchor for a panel discussion entitled "Who is a Jew?" about the relationship between race, culture, religion and politics and how different Jewish groups define what it is to be "Jewish"
  • Have a "Jews of Africa" photo exhibit in your lobby or art gallery
  • Have a "Who is a Jew?" discussion at your synagogue, community center, youth group, school, university, museum, day school or Hebrew High School
  • Learn African-Jewish songs in Hebrew, Luganda and Sefwi
  • Learn Ugandan and Ghanaian childrens' games to middle and elementary school children
  • Have a program to improve Black-Jewish communication in your community
