Join the EDCJCC to celebrate Ladino, a uniquely Jewish language also known as Judeo-Spanish. Joined by author Anthony Bigio and musicians Trio Sefardi, we’ll delve into this beautiful language through stories, food, song, and Sephardic tradition.
Join us for a festival celebrating Ladino, a uniquely Jewish language also known as Judeo-Spanish. Ladino is a bridge between cultures: based in old Castilian Spanish, it’s infused with Hebrew, Turkish, Arabic, French, and others, providing a window into the Sephardic world. The mother tongue of Sephardic Jews in the Ottoman Empire for 500 years, Ladino has a long and storied history in the United States, including in DC. Gather with us as we delve into this beautiful language through stories, food, and song.
The day will feature a talk about the transmission of Sephardic foods between countries and cultures by Susan Barocas, a conversation with author Anthony Bigio on his new book A Sephardi Turkish Patriot, a Ladino musical performance by the world-renowned Trio Sefardi, and a reception showcasing Sephardic treats.

This event is brought to you in partnership with the Sephardic Jewish Brotherhood of America.
