With a heavy heart we will do our best to review this weeks definition of hevrah kadishah (HEV-rah kah-DEE-shah). This word for the week was chosen at random. I was going to ask the children in the home class to chose another word. With the terrible and violate attacks at the Jerusalem synagogue recently and the other hate filled senseless murders that happened this past week; it didn’t seem right. But, then I felt a leading… almost like… someone asking me, “what about the other deaths that did not make the news? What about the value of life and to live as G-D has commanded?”

Are all these troubles in the world because we as humans have forgotten the value of life and to live for G-D? Have we forgotten our duty to our creator and fellow man?

“HaShem SAVE! May the king answer us on the day that we call!”

This week’s Jewish terminology word is: heksher

Something we all have in common at some basic level …food

Who is Isaac ben Solomon Luria and why is he considered such a valuable contributor to the Jewish Faith…… specifically the Hasidic movement? Well I am glad you asked!

These words, have out last evil tormentors, brutal dictators, explosions, raids, trails of tears, and even several Holocaust, just to name a few.

These words are eternal. I Pray as we Light up our Hanukkah candles this night and for the next 7 nights, we remember the spoken then printed words of the Maccabean times are not just a story of how HaShem can and will bring His people to victory…… if and when we seek Him and stay right to Him and His Torah.

Let this be a reminder of those who have died so that we might be here today to be a light to nations. More than just stories or words on a page or scroll. This is our Heritage and Inheritance. This Torah is the very breath our Father breath in to the first man and the very breath He Himself will release when He dwells amongst us once again…may He send His Mashiach…. soon in our days.

As we light the menorah please remember…we may speak different words or different language from all over this earth our Father has created….., but in the end HaShem is only asking for one back from us….. can you guess what it is?

Today we are going to go over our Jewish terminology for the week.

This weeks word is: Judeo-Spanish

This is an English word.

My person JPS dictionary defines Judea-Spanish as .. The romance language spoken by Sephardic Jews, especially in Turkey, the Balkans, and North Africa.

Also called Judezmo.

When Spanish Jews were expelled from Spain in 1492, they settled in new countries around the Mediterranean; their 15 century Castilian Spanish fused with Turkish, Arabic, Greek, and Hebrew words to create Judeo-Spanish, which is considered the Sephardic counterpart to Yiddish. The term “Ladino” is commonly used in place of Judeo-Spanish, although Ladino is actually the written liturgical language of the Sephardim.

I find Judeo- Spanish easier to understand and learn. This is probably because I grew up loosely “speaking” Spanish, but always hearing Spanish.

And by Spanish I mean El Paso Tex-mex Mexican/Spanish slang… and you have to go there to know what I am talking about. El Paso Spanish in my opinion is a mix between Ladino, Spanglish, Texmex, and Spanish/Mexico slang all in one.

As it is written…. Isaiah 58 verses 13 thru 14

If you “turn back your foot from.”refrain from trampling the sabbath,
From pursuing your affairs on My holy day;
If you call the sabbath “delight,”
The LORD’s holy day “honored”;
And if you honor it and go not your ways
Nor look to your affairs, nor strike bargains—

Then you can seek the favor of the LORD.
I will set you astride the heights of the earth,
And let you enjoy the heritage of your father Jacob—
For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.

Welcome The Bride.. to be the Bride.

Kallah
