Jewish Life In Turkey Then and Now: Historic Synagogues of Turkey: The photographs in this exhibition, presented by Sixth & I and the B’nai B’rith Klutznick National Jewish Museum, are showcasing the rich history of Jews in the Ottoman Empire and their cultural legacy in modern day Turkey with the photography exhibit “The Historic Synagogues of Turkey.” On loan courtesy of the American Sephardi Federation through May 20, the exhibit tells the little-known narrative of the largest Jewish population in any Muslim country.

The Jews prospered in the heyday of the Ottoman Empire and they continue to thrive. The story of Turkish Jews, then and now, is found in its synagogues. The exhibition displays the architecture of Turkey’s 50 remaining synagogues, which contain decidedly Islamic and Ottoman influences. These elements serve as examples of a world where Jews and Muslims live side by side. The exhibition and associated programs are made possible to a large extent by a generous grant from the Ester Plihal Memorial Fund. A series of cultural/educational programs accompany the photography exhibition.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
