Newsletter 6
Dear Members,
International Conference
We are pleased to announce that the next SOSTEJE
international conference will take place in
Florence, Italy 8-10 October 2007 (scheduled opening
ceremony on Sunday evening 7 October 2007), marking
the 100th anniversary after the establishment of the
Pro-Falasha Committee by Dr. Jacques Faitlovitch in
conjunction with the local Jewish community in
Florence, Italy.
It is apt that our conference will also be organized
in cooperation with the local Jewish community of
Firenze, under the direction of Rav Levi. The
conference organizing committee is composed of
Michael Corinaldi (Chair), Shlomo Akale and Rav Levi
or his deputy. The conference academic committee is
composed of Ephraim Isaac (Chair), Ruby Newman,
Bat-Zion Eraqi-Klorman and Vittorio Morabito. We
shall issue a call for papers for the conference by
October 2006.
SOSTEJE Israel Committee AGM
The SOSTEJE Israel Committee will be holding its
first AGM on Sunday, September 17, 2006 at the
Ben-Zvi Institute from 15.00-16.00. All members are
invited to attend. Members can join up to one week
before the AGM (so that we still have time to
organize lists).
The AGM will be followed by a symposium on Ethiopian
Jewry from 16.00 – 19.30. Please mark down this date
in your diaries. A more detailed programme will be
issued nearer the date.
Membership
Membership dues paid at the Addis Abeba conference
were for 2004 only. All members now have to pay dues
for 2005-2006. Dues are paid every two years, and
not annually, as in the past, and entitle members to
participate in the Israeli AGM, as well as to
receive the bibliographies on Ethiopian Jewry
published at the Paris and Addis Abeba conferences.
The dues are $50 for 2 years, ($30 for students), or
the shekel equivalent. Please send your money by
