Talk given by Haim Casas: “The Recovery of a Lost Memory.
Judaism in Spain today”
Haim Casas was born in Cordoba (Andalucía, Spain) in 1981. He grew up in South of Spain in cities that cherished an important Jewish past but where Judaism after the expulsion and Inquisition was expelled, persecuted and finally almost uprooted from the collective memory.
After graduating from the Law School of the University of Seville (Spain), Haim Casas committed himself to the recovering of Jewish Spain. He is currently a student rabbi at Leo Baeck College in London. He also cooperates with some Jewish communities and cultural organizations in the UK, France, Switzerland, Spain and Morocco.
His dream is to promote spaces in Spain and Morocco where to encounter an inclusive and diverse experience of Judaism. Part of this dream is also to preserve and promote Spanish Jewish heritage.
