How do we engage with our ancestral languages? Which words are maintained through the generations?

 

Some descendants of Yiddish speakers might say, “Put your keppie (little head) down and go shluffy (sleep).”

Syrian Jews might call a joke by the Judeo-Arabic word “dahak.” Sephardic Jews sometimes refer to underwear using the Ladino word “bragas.” Persian Jews might praise a child, “moosh bokhoratet” (cutey, lit. may a mouse eat you).

 

Listeners will be enriched by learning about Jewish (and other) ancestral diversity and these words, which are part of our shared heritage.

Episodes 1-6 are now available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and other platforms.
