Aside from their use of Hebrew letters and sporadic Hebrew words, medieval Judeo-Catalan texts are similar to contemporaneous Christian Catalan texts. However, there are a few instances of archaic features, such as crou ‘cross’ (compared to Christian creu) and far ‘to do’ (compared to Christian fer). Many Jewish languages retain archaic features due to the (relative) insularity of the communities that spoke them. We have a new page about Judeo-Catalan on our website!

If you’ve ever read the famous Torah scholar, Rav Rashi, you may have encountered some Judeo-French terminology he used, such as limace (slug/snail), maissele (jawbone), and grêle (ice). Rav Rashi often translated Hebrew terminology from the Torah and the Talmud into French for his readers who were not familiar with Hebrew, thereby adding elements of Old French to the primarily Hebrew and Aramaic Jewish textual tradition. #judaism #jewishlanguages #europeanjews #frenchjews #diaspora #france created by Jewish Language Project with Jewish Language Project's original sound

The migration of most Jews from Algeria to Israel, France, and elsewhere in the 1940s-1960s led to the endangerment of Algerian Jewish Sign Language (AJSL). However, hearing relatives of Deaf immigrants are keeping the language alive in Israel. While Deaf immigrants learned Israeli Sign Language as they integrated into broader Deaf communities, their hearing relatives have continued to communicate with them in AJSL and pass it on to younger generations. Isn’t family so helpful? We’re super excited to debut our Algerian Jewish Sign Language description, featuring material from our expert Sara Lanesman.
