Sephardic World: David Baruch Louzada - A Sephardic Life - Sunday Jan 3, 2021

From Ton Tielen and David Mendoza:

David Baruch Louzada - A Sephardic Life


Happy New Year! Our first talk of 2021 showcases what we can all achieve through innovative research.

David Baruch Louzada (1640–1699), like other Sephardim of his generation, was an ordinary person living in extraordinary times. His life has been researched by his descendent, Julian Land. Julian will discuss not just David's family and commercial life, but also his social and communal activities.

David Baruch Louzada travels took him to Livorno, France, Amsterdam, and across the Atlantic to Barbados at a time when most people rarely went more than a day's walk from home. Julian's research illustrates available resources.

Time: Sunday Jan 3, 2021. 2pm NYC, 7pm London, 8pm Amsterdam/Paris, 9pm Jerusalem.
