📢#OutNow in #OA: 'The #Linguistic Classification of the #Reading Traditions of #Biblical #Hebrew: A Phyla-and-Waves Model' by Benjamin Kantor.
There are a whole host of modern reading traditions of Biblical #Hebrew, from #Ashkenazi, to #Sephardi, and #Yemenite. Despite the rich diversity of traditions of #Biblical Hebrew at our fingertips, the #linguistic relationship between them has never been mapped out. In this book the phyla-and-waves methodology, which has been used for Semitic language classification, is used to map out the relationship between the main reading traditions of Biblical Hebrew throughout history.

Trying to learn more about Spanish history and Kingdoms of Faith was a bust. (Almost exclusive focus on dynasties and war rather than cultural history, and barely discusses Jews?)
So let's try another angle. Anyone got a good cultural history of Sephardic Jews in Medieval Spain?

My boy has a knack for asking amazing questions.
This morning, when discussing his #Jewish heritage (#sephardi and #ashkenazi) two minutes in, he just went:

Matzah spinach pie! This is one traditional recipe, but feel free to jazz it up with garlic, paprika, pine nuts, or anything else you want.
A #Recipe is more like a guideline to me, lol.

Vandals have desecrated a Holocaust memorial in Thessaloniki, Greece, once home to the largest Sephardic community in Europe, for the fourth time.

Until the #EarlyModern era, the #MiddleEast & #NorthAfrica were home to the largest #Jewish #population, after which Europe surpassed them. For that reason & due to #immigration patterns, this #Ashkenazi culture is dominant in USA.
There is, however, unity in diversity. The C12 #Hanukkah poem Ma'oz Tzur is used in both Askhenazi & #Sephardi / #Mizrachi traditions, but the melodies are refreshingly different:

A "rerun" from the Between Wanderings blog:
"Eighteen Sephardic/Ladino proverbs." I quite like the saying "If your enemy is an ant, make him a camel when you tell the story."

"1904, Ladino in Izmir: 'Is it true that what we speak is a European language?'"
Excerpts of letters from the early 1900s written by Rafael Cohen—a Turkish Sephardic Jew in Smyrna (now Izmir)—about Jewish life in his city. He was a language teacher who also worked for the Turkish Jewish newspaper "El Messeret."

This shabbat I had such a good time, joined a local frum Sephardi family, they have 7 adorable kids and even though a language barrier was there, I managed to have some meaningful conversation. They insisted on singing some Yiddish songs with me (big fans of the Rebbe, learned Yiddish just to understand his speeches). All in all, I think I will go back. They said they welcome all, also non-Jews at their table, so I will try to convince my housemates to join for next time.
