About Dr. Jose and Freda Nessim
Dr.
Jose and Freda Nessim are the founders of the Sephardic Educational
Center. Their vision has inspired thousands of young people to
experience Judaism through the spiritual, intellectual and cultural
values of the Sephardic heritage. By founding the SEC in the Old
City of Jerusalem, and its many branches throughout the world, they
have taken their place in history as preservers of the Sephardic
heritage, and as promoters of a moderate,
tolerant and attractive form of Judaism. For their unique vision,
and in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the SEC, we proudly
bestow upon them our highest honor, the 2010 Maimonides Lifetime
Achievement Award.
