Sephardic U is more than a website — it’s a living, breathing global community. From Brooklyn to Buenos Aires, Jerusalem to Johannesburg, we connect people who identify with, or are inspired by, Sephardic Jewish life. Our reach spans 26+ countries, uniting voices across time zones, backgrounds, and languages.
The global Sephardic Jewish community is as diverse as it is beautiful. At Sephardic U, we welcome:
Traditional Sephardic families
Bnei Anusim and descendants of conversos
Interfaith families and spiritual seekers
Converts drawn to Sephardic halakha and culture
Ashkenazim with Sephardic curiosity
Israelis abroad seeking tradition
Elders preserving memory, and youth reclaiming identity
This diversity is our strength — and proof that Sephardic Judaism, at its core, is a tradition of openness, resilience, and beauty.
Our daily virtual minyan brings together worshippers from across the globe. No matter your time zone or location, you can pray, learn, and connect — all from your phone or laptop.
Over 180 participants each week
Members in Europe, the Middle East, North and South America, and Asia

Sephardic Judaism has always been mobile — from Spain to Morocco, Iraq to Amsterdam, Salonika to Brooklyn. What allowed it to survive and thrive was its ability to adapt without compromise. At Sephardic U, we continue that legacy.
We use modern tools — Zoom, WhatsApp, social media — to preserve ancient melodies, prayers, and values. From the scent of dafina wafting in kitchens across continents to the familiar cadence of Arvit echoing in living rooms, our global community remains spiritually united, no matter where we are.
