The 7th Annual New York Ladino Day is scheduled for Sunday, 21 January at 2pm at the Center for Jewish History, 15 West 16th St., NYC.
At this time of grievous loss and challenge, we are drawn to getting together to share Sephardic traditions, songs, and stories.
Many of you will recognize the names of these stars on our program.
Rabbi Marc Angel, author and editor of 38 books, and a 2023 International Sephardic Gala Honoree for his decades of remarkable community leadership.
Rachel Amado Bortnick, teacher and founder of the renowned online group, Ladinokomunita, now in its 25th year with 1500 Ladino-speaking members worldwide.
Elizabeth Graver, author of the groundbreaking 2023 Sephardic novel Kantika, and long celebrated for her prize-winning fiction.
Sarah Aroeste, singer/songwriter, and Susan Barocas, foodwriter/story-teller, a duo whose “Savor” program of songs and talk about Sephardic cuisine is garnering raves here and abroad.
As usual, the program has been co-curated by Jane Mushabac and Bryan Kirschen and will be hosted by the American Sephardi Federation.
Hoping for better times ahead and looking forward to seeing you in 2024!
