JewishNewsOne TV: The first ever International Ladino Day gets underway

Ladino, which is also known as the Yiddish of the Sephardic Jews, has been spoken as far back as the middle ages. Although it has been recognized as a minority official language in modern day Israel, it is on the brink of extinction. The Ladino Council in Israel is attempting to make the language cool and relevant again. Today we are marking the first ever International Ladino Day, which has already attracted thousands to come and participate at the conference at Bar Ilan University.
