  Erensia Sefardi
On Monday December 9, 1996, Erensia Sefardi bestowed the fourth annual Pulido Award on H.E. Yitsak Navon, Fifth President of the State of Israel.
The Pulido Award honors the memory of Dr. Angel Pulido, who at the turn of the century dedicated his life to the reconciliation between Spain and the Sephardim and to the preservation of the unique Hispanic culture of the descendants of the Spanish Jews banished in 1492.
In choosing President Navon, right after the King, Erensia Sefardi has remembered the two most important personalities who took a leadership role in the commemoration of the 500th anniversary of the expulsion.

  Sefardic Identity
But "Sefardi" understandably meant more to him than "Spaniard." The notion of peoplehood was not yet tied to citizenship in a particular country.
Sefardi for him implied his Jewishness too, his belonging to a branch of Jewry with its own traditions and mores.
There is some feeling, not too much, a flicker, both in Israel and this country that the Sefardi tradition has something to offer and ought to be preserved against the time when the climate is a little kinder to the warm and the yielding.
