Book excerpt: Logos have been used as specific symbols from the earliest times, even before people could read and write. One easily recognizable symbol can have a lasting impression, foster instant identity and meaning without words as it remains the same over many years. The handshake logo became a sign of unity, cooperation, and strength, for the Sephardim over the past 150 years. Here we present the history of its widespread use and meaning in the Spanish-Jewish, Balkan, Turkish, and American Sephardic Jewish communities, with illustrations and explanations of its application. Documents from the archives of Sephardic Publishing Company, La Vara and other sources are presented with historical notes by the author, Joe Halio, and Forewords by Rabbi Daniel Hadar and Rabbi Marc Angel.
