@IlanStavans @nytopinion TY @IlanStavans for referencing Seattle's #Sephardic community, and how the preservation of #Ladino is part of the diverse linguistic landscape of American Spanish

@harikondabolu @washingtonpost @HankAzaria Thanks @harikondabolu ! Glad our program chair prof. Devin Naar can be part of continuing these important conversations with you and @HankAzaria #washingtonpost #nprcodeswitch

This @washingtonpost piece about me & @HankAzaria is fascinating. Corrections: I believe Thind claimed he was a “high class Hindu” despite being a Sikh. He assumed, correctly, that Courts wouldn’t know the difference. Also, my Dad was NOT a Botanist. washingtonpost.com/made-by-histor…

Devin Naar shares 'what's missing' from a conversation between comedians @harikondabolu and @HankAzaria in a discussion about race, roots and representation in his latest column for the @washingtonpost wapo.st/3MjGUBZ #madebyhistory

🎺It's Word of the Week day! 🎺Today we're looking at "eskapamiento bueno," well wishes for a pregnant person, originating in #sephardic Jews' #Ladino. Check out the full entry at jel.jewish-languages.org/words/1293, and let us know if you've ever wished someone an eskapamiento bueno!

Introducing young children (and their adults) to the joy of Jewish culture- which includes #Sephardic language & customs -is critical today for all families, Jewish or not. @JIMENA_Voice @SephardicUW @WorldJewishCong @AmericanSephard @TLVinstitute @SephardicBrothe @bechollashon

(1/2) #ThisWeekinSephardicHistory: On April 15th, 1944, the first transport of Jews from Athens arrived at Auschwitz-Burkenau. The Jewish Community of Athens, previously safe while under Italian Occupation, were now facing deportation like their Jewish brethren throughout Greece.
