From Krakow to Kurdistan to Casablanca: Heritage Words from Jewish Language Project Staff

In this episode, Sarah Bunin Benor hosts a roundtable discussion with staff members of the Jewish Language Project. Together, they explore heritage words from a range of languages, including Judeo-Arabic, Yiddish, Ladino, and two varieties of Jewish Neo-Aramaic. Participants explain how these words carry cultural meaning and share their personal connections to their heritage languages. The group also discusses the role heritage words can play in language revitalization efforts, offering insights into how even a single word can spark connection and continuity across generations.

Heritage Words - conversations about the words we inherit and the meaning they bring to our lives - is produced by the HUC Jewish Language Project and HUC Connect.
