Jewish Merchants on the Silk Road with American Friends of Hebrew University

Tuesday, April 6, 2021 24 Nisan 5781

6:30 PM - 7:30 PM

The famous Silk Road was traveled from the early centuries of the CE. Merchants from the Middle East as well as Europe were the ones opening the trade routes to China and beyond. Among those travelers, Jewish merchants from Levant, Persia, and surrounding countries were prominent in the trade business. The Hebrew Scroll from the 8th Century CE found at the Mogao caves is a testament to the Jewish presence in China and on the Silk Road. Join us to learn more about the fascinating discovery from Hebrew University alumni Vlady Cornateanu and Dr. Robert Duke, Azusa Pacific University School of Theology Dean, with USC Associate Professor of Cinematic Practice Eric Hansen.

This program will take place at 6:30 PM Chicago Time.
