Dr. Seth Ward, a professor in the religious studies department at the University of Wyoming.
In July, Dr. Ward served as the program chair at the 22nd Annual Conference of the Society for Crypto Judaic Studies in Albuquerque, NM.
Dr. Ward spoke to us from Albuquerque about Crypto-Judaism and issues affecting the descendants of Jews who were forced to hide their religion during the Inquisition.
Elizabeth Naidu, a native of India, who frequently lectures at the Robert E. Loup Jewish Community Center, will speak about the indigenous Jewish population of India.
She shares with us a little bit of her own background, as well as a little bit of Indian-Jewish history and culture.
Be sure to listen for a special preview of the Jewish Denver Drama Girls' next play - Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory - at the start of our program.
Women and children are invited to go see the whole play on Sunday, August 26, 2012 @ 4:00 pm at Aish Denver [9550 E. Belleview Avenue * Greenwood Village, CO * 80111].
Can't listen tonight? You can hear the full show (and all previous editions) tomorrow at: www.Chavura.com)
