The Extraordinary Jewish Legacy and Experience in Shanghai

The Defiant Requiem Foundation and the Edlavitch DCJCC are pleased to invite you to a special evening featuring Dvir Bar Gal, renowned expert on the remarkable story of Jewish Shanghai. For 100 years, while Shanghai was being transformed from a modest port town into one of the world’s great cosmopolitan capitals, a little-known and extraordinary chapter of Jewish life was unfolding. Three distinct waves of Jewish immigration, from Iraq, Russia, and central Europe shaped the city’s culture and heritage. At its height, Shanghai’s Jewish population reached nearly 30,000. Join Dvir Bar-Gal for a compelling presentation as he uncovers the dramatic, inspiring, and eye-opening story of Jewish Shanghai – a story of refuge, resilience, and a remarkable legacy. Attendance is free, but space is limited and registration is required. This program is IN PERSON and will not be livestreamed or recorded. Contact: [email protected].
