"In revivifying Ladino, we get to choose what to keep and what to change. ... To make those crucial choices, we first need to know what our options are.

Perhaps a reclaimed 'kulo alegre' will be a fun way for queer Ladineros to self-identify."

A dinner commemorating the life of Maya Yadid’s grandmother prompts a series of reflections about the enduring vivacity of her spirit and the power of kubbeh, watermelon, and red-painted nails as tools for active remembrance. Words by Kristina Schmidt. https://t.co/jr2AfuZI94

The history of the seipa, a sword-shaped protective amulet worn by Kurdish Jews, can help us better understand how to care for one another and build trust across communal divisions in the face of illness and collective hardship. https://t.co/EZLoJvMUDT

I'm so excited to (Twitter) announce our CfP for Reimagining Sephardic Studies, a virtual Columbia-UCLA symposium featuring emerging scholars - as well as artists/activists - to be held over Zoom this May! RSS has been long in the making.... 1/

In Shany Dvora’s work, dark eyes & placid faces peer out from behind languid calligraphic forms, referencing Iraqi naming traditions & Hebrew manuscripts. Her faces are determined to continue to see & be seen, her letters to continue to speak & be spoken. https://t.co/gGicHnAX9X

[Jewish Currents @JewishCurrents]

This Thursday, January 20th: Join us for a live event on the politics of Israel's Mizrahi Jews, moderated by @PeterBeinart and featuring @NoyOrly and @rachshabi! https://t.co/H1I0dzeXqL

[nesi altaras @nesialtaras]

My latest piece is now out from @zamancollective: How does Ladino treat queerness? What terms does it have, who does they describe (or not)? Why do so many of these words relate to circles? I take you through my journey of answering these questions!

Check it out, some great speakers, and what a thrill to be on the same series as Ammiel Alcalay!

[Jewish Language Project @JewishLanguages]

We are thrilled to announce that we'll be launching a groundbreaking event series in January: "Languages of the Jews of Iran." Over the span of 4 events, we'll host scholars, musicians, & language activists to share about this rich linguistic heritage. @HUCJIR

Our next issue is set to launch early 2022 and will feature a new volume of visual art, creative nonfiction, and essays. Thanks to our readers and contributors for your patience amid our hiatus. Stay tuned!

[+972 Magazine @972mag]

Seven decades ago, Israel settled over 100 Mizrahi families in Givat Amal, formerly a Palestinian village.

Now, the Tel Aviv neighborhood is empty — with no guarantee of proper compensation for its former residents.

@OrenZiv1985 reports.

After years of working on this project, Sarbakhshian Hasan, Parvaneh Vahidmanesh, and I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. We got the proofs this morning, and the book will be out in 2022. More details to follow.

[איימן עודה أيمن عودة Ayman Odeh @AyOdeh]

היום מציינים את יום המודעות לחטיפת ילדי תימן, פשע אכזרי שתודלק על ידי שנאת ערבים, שהופנמה כלפי ערבים יהודים.
על הממשלה לחזור בה מנסיון הטיוח וההצעה לשלם דמי שתיקה למשפחות, לפתוח את הארכיונים ולפעול להכרה, צדק וריפוי.
