“Sephardic Jews and the Spanish Language” – Paperback, Ebook. Between Wanderings, 2016.
With letters and photos from Jews in early-1900s Turkey, Morocco, Palestine, Austria and Romania
In 1903, four centuries after Spain expelled the Jews, a Spanish senator launched a campaign to have his country reopen relations with their descendants, the Sephardic Jews. To promote the campaign, he wrote this classic book. This new annotated translation makes it available in English for the first time.
Eager to let Jews speak for themselves, he devoted a third of the book to photos and letters from Sephardim in different countries, in which they describe their communities, synagogues, schools, families, literature and aspirations.
