Abstract
Este artículo analiza la inmigración de los judeoespañoles de Oriente a la ciudad de Buenos Aires entre 1876 y 1930, una comunidad históricamente invisibilizada dentro del relato hegemónico de la inmigración judía en Argentina, centrado en la experiencia asquenazí. A partir de fuentes documentales, prensa de época y testimonios orales, el estudio reconstruye las trayectorias migratorias, los procesos de organización comunitaria, la vida cotidiana en barrios como el Centro, Villa Crespo, Colegiales y Flores, y los vínculos con otras comunidades. Se presta especial atención al rol de las mujeres, la construcción de sinagogas, clubes, cafés y redes solidarias. El texto sostiene que la experiencia multilingüe y multicultural heredada del Imperio otomano facilitó la integración de los judeoespañoles en el tejido urbano porteño sin perder su identidad cultural.
This article examines the immigration of Sephardic Jews from the Ottoman Empire to Buenos Aires between 1876 and 1930, a historically invisible community within the dominant narrative of Jewish immigration in Argentina, largely focused on the Ashkenazi experience. Drawing on archival materials, period press, and oral testimonies, the study reconstructs migration paths, community-building processes, and daily life in neighbourhoods such as the Centro, Villa Crespo, Colegiales, and Flores, while also exploring interactions with other Jewish groups. Special attention is given to the role of women, the establishment of synagogues, clubs, cafés, and mutual aid networks. The article argues that the Judeo-Spanish community’s multilingual and multicultural legacy from the Ottoman Empire enabled their integration into Argentine urban life while maintaining their distinct cultural identity.
