On December 17th, 2024, the Rabbinic Library of Izmir, located in a room of the Karatash Jewish Hospital was opened. With more than 1700 books printed between the 17th and 20th centuries, the library is a testimony of the community´s reputation of being one of the Sephardic world´s intellectual and religious centers. Rare books containing handwritten marginal notes of famous rabbis from Izmir are just one of the reasons that make this library unique. A Jewish educator from Philadelphia, Donna Dina Eliezer, tells the story of how she discovered the books in the old Hahamhane (Rabbinate) building and how she dedicated herself to helping salvage the books and form the Rabbinic Library of Izmir.

We met with Avishai a few years ago at the CineStory Writers Retreat in Idyllwild. It was a great experience and I remember him as a passionate writer/filmmaker. We kept our friendship on social media as he lives in New York as an NYU Alumni and he grabbed my interest with his recent success stories, and achievements as well as a fellow Jewish writer/filmmaker. So I asked him for an interview and he said yes.

I had a chance to watch a comedy show Sarah was hosting along with some of her own jokes and when I noticed she was also making some Jewish jokes, I approached her and asked if she´d like to be featured in our newspaper Şalom. Gladly Sarah gave us a wonderful interview; thanks for lengthening our lives with laughter and beauty! Many thanks for the interview and looking forward to seeing more of your stand-up or/any other upcoming shows.
