Join us for an exclusive tour of Sacred Words, an exhibit that reveals the Afghan Liturgical Quire, the oldest Jewish codex. Meet the intrepid researcher, Herschel Hepler, who spent seven years tracing the book back to its discovery in a cave near the Bamiyan Buddha statues. Herschel will be joined by Sara Aharon, author of From Kabul to Queens: The Jews of Afghanistan and Their Move to the United States. 

This tour is being presented as part of Festival Sefarad (https://www.festivalsefarad.com), a series of evens in June 2025 made possible by the UJA-Federation of New York and Ike, Molly and Steven Elias Foundation.

Co-Presenters: American Sephardi Federation, Afghan Jewish Foundation, Museum of the Bible, and Congregation Anshei Shalom
