little community of Sephardlc
Jews, whose ancestors fled Spain
during. the Inquisition and settled
in Constantinople and other Levan-

write in Hebrew alphabet. In
their coffee shops on the lower
East Side, parts of Brooklyn and

for their native coffee, Greek sal
ads and a special kosher shish-

have met old friends, Jewish,
Greek and otherwise, whom they
have not seen since the population
transfers which followed the First
World War.
