The Farhi of the Levant
Alain Farhi’s Les Fleurs de l’Orient is one of the most important online resources for Sephardic genealogy. In this fascinating presentation for Sephardic World, he traces the Farhi family across more than 700 years, from medieval France and Spain to the Ottoman Empire, Syria, Acre, Egypt, the Balkans, and beyond. Drawing on decades of research, Alain explains how a few family papers grew into a vast genealogical project now covering more than 147,000 families and 325,000 names. He discusses the origins and many spellings of the Farhi name, the family’s migrations, the great Farhi houses of Damascus, Haim Farhi of Acre, the Damascus Affair of 1840, the remarkable Farhi/Crescas Bible, and what DNA evidence can and cannot tell us about shared ancestry. The talk also opens a window onto the wider history of Sephardic families in the Ottoman world. Alain Farhi is a well-known figure in Jewish genealogy. Born in Egypt and educated in France, he later lived in the United States, Singapore, Belgium, Switzerland, Taiwan, and London. He began researching the Farhi family in the early 1980s, and his website remains an invaluable resource for anyone studying Sephardic, Syrian, Egyptian, or Ottoman Jewish family history. This talk will be of interest to anyone researching Sephardic genealogy, Ottoman Jewish history, Syrian Jewish families, Acre, Damascus, or the movement of Jewish families across the Mediterranean and Middle East. #SephardicGenealogy #JewishGenealogy #SephardicHistory #OttomanEmpire #JewishHistory #Farhi #Damascus #Acre #Syria #Egypt Please subscribe and like this video!
