Title: Yasmin Levy "La Alegria" I am Sephardi so this is more my style
Post by: REDNECK JEW on August 16, 2013, 12:35:54 AM

As a Sephardic Jew I am more into the passion of love and life and Yasmin Levy delivers every time!

So few Jews speak read, and write Ladino these days, so sadly here in Texas I suffer through the Broken Mexican Spanish of modern times.

I am so glad my father taught me Ladino as a Child. My mother Born A German Jew so Yes I read, write and speak in Yiddish and Hebrew as well, but Ladino to me is poetry from the very soul!

Very interesting. I daven in a mixed minyan with a Sephardi Jew whose family is from Egypt. And a Mizrachi friend whose father is from Iraq.

I have never heard Ladino, but I believe it has a place in our souls like Yiddish does to us Ashkenaz Jews. I have a relative who wrote several books on the Yiddish language.

Thanks for sharing, if you would like to hear and watch some Ladino music go on Youtube and Watch Yasmin Levy Live at the Tower of David, she is so very beautiful.
