[ha-Safran] AJL Conference Update: Musical Monday

[AJL PR via Hasafran]

We hope you’re looking forward to the 2022 AJL Conference: Together Again!

On Monday, June 27, at 7:30 pm, join Sarah Aroeste, international Ladino 
(Judeo-Spanish) singer/songwriter, author, and activist, as she weaves 
Sephardic history and stories together with song. This interactive, multi-media 
presentation will demonstrate the rich textures of Mediterranean Sephardic life 
and will take you on a sensory journey from the 15th century to today.

Sarah Aroeste is an international Ladino singer/songwriter, author, and 
cultural activist, who draws upon her Sephardic family roots from Macedonia and 
Greece (via Medieval Spain) to bring Judeo-Spanish culture to new generations. 
Since 2001, Aroeste has toured the globe and recorded seven albums, from a 
feminist Ladino rock album (Gracia, 2012) to an all-original Ladino children’s 
album (Ora de Despertar, 2016) and an album dedicated to her family’s hometown 
in modern day North Macedonia (Monastir, 2021). Aroeste also recently published 
her newest children’s book, Buen Shabat, Shabbat Shalom (Kar-Ben and PJ 
Library, 2020), the first bilingual Ladino-English board book. Bringing Ladino 
words and music to young and old, Aroeste works to introduce Sephardic culture 
to wider audiences.

This event is open to the public and free to AJL conference attendees (made 
possible by the generous sponsorship of Dan Wyman Books). Advance registration 
is required; reserve your seat for this amazing event (and for other 
opportunities to discover Jewish and historic Philadelphia) via this form

[ha-Safran] [hasafran]: Children's book for Shavuot

[Sherry Wasserman via Hasafran]

As we count up to Shavuot, remember there is still time order and receive a
copy of my children's book about the holiday for your library. 

 

I Am Standing At Mount Sinai: a book about Shavuot for young people

Sherry T Wasserman, illus. by Ruthie Cisse.

This vibrantly illustrated hardcover picture book explains the Shavuot
holiday. Told through the eyes of an insightful young girl it retells the
Biblical saga of the Jewish People's encounter with God at Mt. Sinai;
recounts the exciting, scary revelation of the Ten Commandments and the
Torah; links together Passover's story of freedom with Shavuot's emphasis on
acceptance of rules for moral behavior; explains how Shavuot was celebrated
in ancient times and today; makes the vivid story of Mount Sinai and Shavuot
come alive for a new generation of Jewish children. Includes the actual
Hebrew text from Exodus and a glossary.  Available at amazon.com. $20.00

Congregation B'nai Moshe, W. Bloomfield, MI
