‘The Seventy Languages of the Jews’

Led by Dr Lily Kahn, Reader in Hebrew and Jewish Languages at UCL
This talk will introduce you to the rich variety of languages spoken and written by Jews over the past three thousand years, including not only well-known Jewish languages like Hebrew, Yiddush, and Ladino, but also less familiar ones like Chinese, Georgian, and Malayalam, all of which have a fascinating Jewish story to be told. No prior knowledge of linguistics is assumed.

Monique has given us a few pointers to note before the event- 

  • Please prepare the almond-coconut mixture ahead of time so we’re not drowning each other out with sounds of the food processors!
  • You are welcome to make another recipe if you wish, it’s just about the fun of trying to do it together!

While our cakes baking are away in the oven, we will have a special Shavuot quiz. To participate in the quiz you will need to download the Kahoot app on your mobile phone or tablet (doesn’t work on a desktop).
