in development

The art of making of burekas is an intricate and delicate process. It demands dedication and lots of time, just as the development of the Sephardic community in the South demanded incredible devotion and dedication. The stories from this special community of Jews are as savory as the delicacy indicative to its culture.

This 28 minute documentary will mix the visually exciting art of rolling, folding, stuffing and basting burekas with the compelling stories from Sephardic Rabbis, Ladino singers, artisan bakers as well as congregants from historic Sephardic synogogues.
