SUMMARY:Learning Ladino
DESCRIPTION:Ladino is a dialect of Spanish and has many regional variations of its own. This mini-course will introduce the nuances of Ladino\, and we will conduct a comparative study of both spoken and written Spanish and Ladino\, with Latin and Hebrew characters. \nSix Part Course. 18 February – 25 March\nEach Monday\, 6:00-8:00 PM \nMonday\, 18 February: Introduction to Ladino: pronunciation\, spelling\, variations.\nMonday\, 25 February: American Ladino\nMonday\, 4 March: Turkish Ladino\nMonday\, 11 March: Greece: Salonician and Monastirli Ladino\nMonday\, 18 March: Comparative Liturgy: Psalms\, Piyyutim\, and Agada\nMonday\, 25 March: Student reflections \nDr. Joe Halio was raised in a Sephardic family of immigrants from Salonica and Turkey. His grandfather\, Albert Torres\, publisher of La Vara\, and his father\, Hank Halio\, author of Ladino Reveries\, taught him to speak Ladino. Years spent at the Sephardic Home for the Aged\, the Kastoriali Kehila in Brooklyn\, and the Sephardic Jewish Center of Forest Hills\, as well as his travels to Turkey\, Greece\, and Israel\, gave him additional perspective on the Ladino language. His extensive contact with native speakers and scholars of Ladino and Sephardic culture\, as well as his large library of Ladino literature of all kinds\, has provided him with rich opportunities to study and teach the native language and history of the Sephardim. \nKnowledge of modern spoken Spanish is preferable. Texts will include material written in the USA\, the Balkans\, and Turkey\, as well as audio and visual references. Because spoken language cannot be separated from culture in which it exists\, knowledge of Sephardic history and culture is recommended\, but not essential. Six weekly 2 hour sessions will cover an introduction to Ladino pronunciation\, reading and writing Ladino\, and regional variations. Cultural material may include historical documents\, liturgy\, folklore\, and popular sources. \nObjective \nTo clarify the differences between modern Spanish and Ladino dialects\, to facilitate research and use of the Ladino dialect\, and to promote enjoyment of Ladino and Sephardic culture and history. \nScope \nWe will speak\, read\, and write Ladino in various contexts\, both popular and scholarly. \nTexts \nHandouts\, websites\, references to available library and archival material. \nRequirements \nBasic understanding of spoken Spanish and Sephardic history and culture preferred. \nApproach to learning \nClass participation\, individual research\, and presentations as desired. \nDecorum \nNo cellphones\, computers\, recording\, etc.\, unless used in presentations\, with permission of the instructor. \nClasses will take place @The ASFs Sephardi Scholars Center

SUMMARY:International Ladino Day
DESCRIPTION:A Festival to celebrate Ladino\, the remarkable language also known as Judeo-Spanish. \nCelebrate Ladino in the company of highly acclaimed musicians and writers. Hear clarinetist Danny Elias; author Jane Mushabac’s story\, Seven Songs; composer Avi Amon’s musical fantasy\, Salonika; scholar Bryan Kirschen speaking on Ladino’s rich culture; Rabbi Nissim Elnecavé on wisdom tales; and the Alhambra Ensemble’s Songs of Courtship\, Love\, and Holidays with oud\, violin\, shawm\, dumbek and voices. \nLight refreshments will be served. \nSince 2013\, when Israel’s 5th President Yitzhak Navon endorsed Zelda Ovadia’s idea of International Ladino Day\, celebrations have been held in Jerusalem\, Seattle\, Istanbul\, Madrid\, Dallas\, Forest Hills\, Boston\, and other cities. February 10th marks the Second Annual International Ladino Day at the Center for Jewish History. \nLadino is a bridge to many cultures; it’s a Spanish language that includes words in Hebrew\, Turkish\, Arabic\, and more. The mother tongue of Jews in the Ottoman Empire for 500 years\, Ladino was the home language of Sephardim worldwide in the early 20th century. \nAlthough today Ladino is only spoken by a small fraction of Sephardim\, the interest in the language and its culture is experiencing a resurgence through distinguished university programs\, publications\, concerts\, and events of many kinds. \nThe February 10th event is presented by the American Sephardi Federation\, the American Jewish Historical Society\, the Sephardic Jewish Brotherhood of America\, and Binghamton University Department of Judaic Studies and the Charles and Rae Grabel Memorial Fund for Judaic Studies. We are also grateful to the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. \n

Some Jewish communities in Africa are amongst the oldest in the world\, dating back more than 2\,700 years (Morocco\, Egypt\, Libya\, Tunisia\, and Algeria). Today\, Jews and Judaism in Africa show an ethnic and religious diversity and richness almost unparalleled on any other continent. \nCONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS\nA circle of emerging African leaders and researchers will analyze a broad spectrum of issues pertaining to the history and contemporary situation of Jewish Africa\, including the role of Jews and the need of Jewish voices in African civil society\, the development of Jewish space\, perspectives on old and new African Jewish identities\, and encounters between Jews and non-Jews in contemporary Africa. \nTOPICS TO BE DISCUSSED\nJewish heritage in Morocco\, Tunisia\, Egypt\, Ethiopia\, Cape Verde\, Ouganda\, and South Africa; Black African Judaism; Future for Judaism in Africa; and preserving the memory and heritage of African Judaism in the 21st Century via Digital Heritage Mappings Diarna Geo-Museum and Atlas of Jewish History initiative. \nThe central idea is to approach these topics from the point of view of Jewish African leaders. In doing so\, the conference seeks to provide a platform and create a meaningful network of researchers and Jewish African leaders. \nDescription of ASF-Mimouna Partnership\nThe ASF is partnered with Association Mimouna to celebrate Judeo-Moroccan history\, traditions\, and culture\, as well as the Moroccan culture of co-existence. Since 2014\, The ASF and Association Mimouna have done a series of major events in New York City\, including the Moroccan-Jewish Caravan\, From Casablanca to New York: A Night of Moroccan Culture\, the 20th and 21st Anniversary Editions of the NY Sephardic Jewish Film Festival\, and an event with the Muslim World League honoring the heroism of Muslims who protected Jewish communities and/or saved Jewish refugees during the Holocaust. These events have been both well-attended (indeed\, the Opening Night of the 20th NYSJFF honoring Mr. André Azoulay\, Counsellor to the King of Morocco\, and our other events at The Center for Jewish History were all sold out) and drew the attention of leading publications\, such as Tablet Magazine\, CS Monitor\, and the Times of Israel. Our work together preserving Jewish historical sites in Morocco\, via a mutual partner\, the Diarna Geo-Museum of North African and Middle Eastern Jewish Life\, has also been featured in The New York Times.

SUMMARY:Crafting a Memory; Preserving a Memory

SUMMARY:Maktuv*: An Evening of Islamic and Jewish Calligraphy
DESCRIPTION:Join MALA and ASF for an interactive workshop led by experiential educator and artist Ruben Shimonov! \nWe will explore the significance of Arabic in Islam and Hebrew in Judaism\, as well as the close relationship between both Semitic languages. It’ll be a space to share our personal connections with the holy languages of our respective faiths and to engage with these two languages through a hands-on calligraphy workshop! \nNo background in Arabic or Hebrew calligraphy necessary. Refreshments will be served. \n*As cognates\, Maktoob and K’tuv mean “written” in Arabic and Hebrew respectively. \n  \nABOUT OUR WORKSHOP LEADER \nBorn in Uzbekistan\, Ruben Shimonov belongs to the native Persian-speaking Jewish population of Central Asia. This community—the Bukharian Jews—have lived alongside their Muslim neighbors for 1300 years\, engaging in cultural and intellectual commerce. \nGiven his background\, Ruben possesses a strong passion for Muslim-Jewish community building. He has brought this interest to his academic\, professional and community leadership work\, including his involvement with the American Sephardic Federation (ASF) where he currently serves as the Vice-President of Education and Community Engagement on the Young Leadership board. Ruben is also an ASF 2018 Broome & Allen Fellow. \nHis interest in Muslim-Jewish dialogue has also informed his artistic work\, inspiring him to create multilingual calligraphy that juxtaposes and weaves together Hebrew\, Arabic\, and Persian. He currently studies at New York University\, pursuing a dual Master’s in Public Administration and Judaic Studies.

SUMMARY:Passport to Jewish History
DESCRIPTION:Join researchers from Diarna: Geo-Museum of North African and Middle Eastern Jewish Life for a three-part passport series. Each session explores Jewish historical sites and stories. \n19 July — A Pilgrimage to Morocco’s Jewish Saints \n25 July — Journey to Egypt: Results of a Recent Research Expedition (featuring Diarna’s lead photographer\, Josh Shamsi) \n8 August — Beyond Tunis: A Comprehensive Mission to Tunisia (featuring Diarna photographer Chrystie Sherman) \nOver a million Jews once lived in the Middle East and North Africa\, spanning from synagogues on the edge of the Sahara Desert in Morocco to abandoned Jewish fortresses in Saudi Arabia and the traditional shrines of Biblical personalities in the Kurdish regions of Iraq and Iran. The profound Jewish imprint on the region could be experienced in major cities and diffuse villages. \nNow\, decades since communities have disbanded\, synagogues\, schools\, cemeteries\, and other structures left behind are suffering from natural decay or being deliberately targeted for destruction\, while political strife has stymied visiting\, no less preserving\, thousands of sites. In recent years the Iranian regime has threatened to destroy the purported shrine of Esther and Mordechai at Hamadan; the storied Eliyahu HaNabi Synagogue in the Jobar neighborhood of Damascus was reduced to rubble (a consequence of being caught in the crossfire of the Syrian Civil War); and ISIS exploded the traditional tomb of Jonah\, which had been located within one of Mosul’s oldest mosques. \nAbout Diarna \nDiarna: The Geo-Museum of North African and Middle Eastern Jewish Life —an independent initiative of Digital Heritage Mapping\, a spacial humanities non-profit organization— is working to digitally preserve the physical remnants of Jewish history throughout the region. We are in a race against time to capture site data and record place-based oral histories. Diarna pioneers the synthesis of digital mapping technology\, traditional scholarship\, and field research\, as well as a trove of multimedia documentation. All of these combine to lend a virtual presence and guarantee untrammeled access to Jewish historical sites lest they be forgotten or erased.
