Senator Felder met with Co-Presidents Ike Chehebar and Ike Sutton of the Sephardic Heritage Museum, and Director Rabbi Raymond Sultan to discuss a new education initiative whose goal is to “educate and perpetuate” by bringing the glory and beauty of Sephardic history to life for schoolchildren.

“History can be a hard subject to bring to life. By definition, it is ancient and to kids that means irrelevant. This curriculum is creative and innovative in the ways it brings history to life, engages kids, and connects them to the past in a very personal way,” said Senator Felder.

The brainchild of Mr. Joe Sitt, the Sephardic Heritage Museum with Senator Felder’s help has led many worthwhile projects all with a common underlying theme – to preserve the past so that it lives on in future generations.

“When the present is linked to an illustrious past our children take pride in being part of something so much bigger and better than they imagined. After all, some history is worth repeating,” quipped Senator Felder.
