Moise Rahmani
Edit ProfileCareer
In 1956, at the age of 12, he left with his family for the then Belgian Congo, where a colony of Greek-Sephardic Jews was created, but the Congo Crisis of 1960–1966 led to his family emigrating. Resident in Belgium since 1980 Rahmani worked as a diamond dealer before in the 1980s launching the quarterly review Los Muestros (wwwsefaradorg) which publishes news of the Sephardic community around the world. Rahmani has researched and written numerous publications on the Jewish communities of Belgian Congo, many who like his family, left their ancestral homes from the Greek island of (then Ottoman Turkey) Rhodes for the former Belgian colony of Congo before the wars in the early 20th century.
