Jews of Turkey: Migration, Culture and Memory explores the culture
of Jews who immigrated from East Turkey to Israel. The study
reveals the cultural values of their communities, way of life,
beliefs and traditions in the multicultural and multi-religious
environment that was the East of Turkey. The book presents their
immigration processes, social relationships, and memories of their
past from a cultural perspective. Consequently, this study
reconstructs the life of Eastern Jews of Turkey before their
immigration to Israel. The anthropological fieldwork for this
research was carried out over a year in Israel. The author visited
eleven cities, where he found Jewish communities from the Ottoman
Empire. The book examines their history and origins, personal
stories of their immigration, and different social aspects, such as
their relationships with Muslims, other Jewish neighbourhoods, the
family, childhood, status of women, marriages, clothing, cuisine,
religious life, education, economic conditions, Shabbat and
holidays. This is the first book that discusses multiple Jewish
communities living in Israel who moved from East Turkey. The book
will be a valuable resource for researchers and students who are
interested in Jewish and Israeli studies, Turkish minorities and
anthropology. Suleyman Sanli is the chair of the anthropology
department at Mardin Artuklu University, Turkey. He was a visiting
scholar at the Moshe Dayan Center at Tel Aviv University, where he
conducted the anthropological fieldwork on Jews who migrated to
Israel from Turkey. His research interests are, Ottoman Jews, Jews
of Turkey, Jewish cultural studies and social and cultural
anthropology.
