Join us in the Edmond J. Safra Hall at the Museum of Jewish Heritage for a celebration of Sephardic creativity in the spirit of America’s 250th at the American Sephardi Federation’s Pomegranate Awards Ceremony on Monday, June First, Day Two of the 28th NY Sephardic Jewish Film Festival – Festival Sefarad.
We will present the 2026 ASF Pomegranate Awards to honor vibrant Sephardi voices for extraordinary achievements in philosophy, music, film, and journalism:
Avi Issacharoff (Fauda), Bernard-Henri Levy (author and philosopher), Murray Perahia (Avery Fisher Prize and Garramy Award-winning pianist), and Jeannette Sorrell (Grammy Award-winning harpsichordist and leader of Apollo’s Fire).
The Pomegranates are sculpted with love by world-renowned, Baghdad-born artist Oded Halhamy.
Following the award ceremony, enjoy a showcase by Jeanette Sorrelle and members of Apollo’s fire.
Space is limited; early reservations are highly recommended. Exclusive opportunities are also available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
The NYSJFF is presented in partnership with MJH, dedicated to Ike, Molly, and Steven Elias, and made possible by the support of the UJA-Federation of New York.
