The conference will open with a liturgical concert featuring cantors from around the world, hosted by Congregation Shearith Israel.
The following day and a half will include sessions with scholars, artists, and community leaders from around the world.
The second evening will feature a concert by an Andalusian orchestra from Rabat, Morocco, with a flamenco twist.
