DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:JIMENA Speakers Yehuda Tassa and Pearl Sofaer will present at the upcoming Bay Area Limmud conference.  Pearl and Yehuda will both be presenting on Monday, February 18th.For over 3,000 years Jewish artisans, musicians and dancers were the revered pillars of the artistic world in the Middle and North Africa. Yemenite Jewish artisans in particular developed highly unique silverwork styles that added great spiritual, economic and creative value to the gulf region. At it's peak, the capital of Yemen had over 300 Jewish philigree shops - today none remain. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn from the Bay Area's Yemenite silverwork master, Yehuda Tassa. Yehuda's presentation will explore the cultural, spiritual and political significance of ancient Jewish art from Yemen and the Middle East.Pearl Sofaer will share stories of the Baghdadi Jewish community of India and will also sing Iraqi niggunim from the Passover Seder. Pearl will present her book Baghdad to Bombay: In the Kitchens of my Cousins.
