Jewish Heritage Words: Connecting to Our Ancestors and Communities, with Dr. Sarah Benor
Presented by the Jewish Community Library
Tuesday, March 17, 6:00 PM, 1835 Ellis Street in San Francisco
Most Jews today do not speak the native languages of their great-grandparents, but they maintain some “heritage words”—words from ancestral Jewish languages that have been passed down the generations. In this talk, Dr. Sarah Benor will explain the historical circumstances that led to this situation and will describe the phenomenon, based on interviews from the Heritage Words Podcast.
