Seattle’s vibrant Sephardic Jewish community is recognized around the world. One of its hallmarks is the Ladino language, which at one time was spoken by more than 500,000 Jews. But time has taken its toll on this language, which originated in Spain and spread through the diaspora after the Jews were expelled in 1492. The last generation to speak Ladino at home was born before the 1940s. As native Ladino speakers age, this podcast aims to preserve the special Ladino “refranes” so that they live on forever.
