Judeo-Spanish in the Sephardic Diaspora
- Sunday 3:45 PM–5:00 PM Gershman Y, Classroom 410
Arts and Culture, Jewish and Israeli History
After being exiled from Spain in 1492, many Sephardic Jews fled to the Ottoman Empire. From these new settlements arose Judeo-Spanish, a language which combines Spanish, Hebrew, Turkish, French, Greek, and more. We'll explore the Sephardic Diaspora and the linguistic origins of Judeo-Spanish, learn pronunciation and basic phrases, and listen to modern interpretations of traditional songs.
