In this Part II lecture, we will explore Israel before Herzl, uncover lesser-known Sephardic voices in early Zionism, and examine how these narratives reshape our understanding of Jewish history today. We will also look closely at the ecosystem of college campuses after October 7th and discuss how viewing Israel through a Sephardic lens opens new pathways for education, identity, and connection. Featuring Manashe Khaimov who is the Founder and CEO of SAMi (Sephardic American Mizrahi Initiative), which is dedicated to fostering the Sephardic and Mizrahi ecosystem on college campuses nationwide.
