September 28, 2004 - The International Society for Sephardic Progress
is welcoming submissions for Volume 2. of its official publication,
the International Sephardic Journal, a multi-disciplinary, refereed
publication featuring scholarly works related to Sephardim (the
descendants of the Jews of historic Spain, Portugal, North Africa
and the Levant {including the former Ottoman Empire} who share common
religious and cultural bonds). The International Sephardic Journal,
winner of the prestigious 2004-2005 Fromer Award for "potential
significant impact on the Jewish community", is the only refereed
publication in the world dedicated to Sephardic Jewry.

independent researchers, are invited to submit papers. Proposed topics
may include, but are not limited to: Sephardic/Mizrahi history, culture,
language, religion (halakhot, minhagim), Diaspora, biographies,
Sephardic life and experience in the Americas, Europe, Asia or Africa.
Topics related to Anusim and crypto-Jewish populations, as well as
Sephardic interaction with non-Jewish communities are also welcome.

In addition, contemporary topics such as modern Sephardic society, politics,
religion, psychology, and science related to Sephardim will be considered.
The International Sephardic Journal also welcomes first-person memoirs
of the Sephardic experience for its "Portals to the Past" section, and
book reviews of current publications relating to Sephardic life, culture,
or religion.

Submissions may be made by e-mail, please visit the website for the email
address. Please include name, institutional affiliation (if applicable),
address, phone number, e-mail address, paper title, and short abstract
in the body of the e-mail. Attach the article, in MS Word format. The

quality Jewish educational projects and publications which will help
teach the public about the vibrant Sephardic Jewish communities, past
and present.
