A Sephardic Center housing two synagogues, a library, meeting halls and a cultural center was inaugurated here last week in the presence of French Chief Rabbi Rene Sirat, Israeli Ambassador Meir Rosenne and French political figures. The Center, which was named Rambam, will host study groups devoted to Spanish Jewish traditions and organize lectures and courses on this subject. The new Center was built through private donations but also with the help of the Paris Municipality.
