Sephardi Music 'Sephardi' (Hebrew for Spain) refers to the Jews who lived and flourished in the Iberian peninsula for many centuries, until they were expelled along with the Muslims, in 1492. Sephardi Jews took their language and musical traditions with them in to exile and absorbed other traditions from North Africa, the Eastern Mediterranean and countries in the Middle East where they settled. Many of the standard hymns in the Hebrew liturgy were composed by great Sephardic poets during the 'Golden Age' in mediaeval Spain. The lingua franca of Sephardi Jews was Ladino (or Judeo-Spanish) which was based on mediaeval Castilian and written in Hebrew script. The Ladino ballad repertoire was a very important song tradition transmitted through the female line. last modified: 20 April 2004 The Jewish Music Institute is an independent Arts organisation based at SOAS, University of London.

Though I am not Jewish, I enjoy your posts, and think you have a delightful sense of humor! Blessings and thanks. Dear Jo Anne Crowson, After the Destruction of the First Temple, around 450 BCE, the Jews were exiled to Babylon (modern day Iraq). After the 70-year exile many returned. However, the majority of the Jews did not return, preferring Babylon instead. The Jews in Israel were again exiled in 70 CE, this time by the Romans. The Roman exile created communities in Europe and North Africa. The European communities were mainly in France, Spain and Rome, some in Germany as well. The Jews in France and Germany became known as Ashkenazim (Hebrew for "Germans") and the Jews in Spain became known as

Sabbath - see " Shabbat " Sabbatical Year see " Shemitah " Sadducees - See " Tzedukim " " Sanhedrin " - See here " Sarah " - "First Lady" of the " Imahot ," "Founding Mothers" of the Jewish People; the wife and "teaching partner" of Avraham . Like all the Imahot, could not bear children initially. This was because Hashem wanted to "hear" their reaction to this frustration. She bore Yitzchak miraculously at the age of ninety, when her youthful characteristics returned to her. When Yishmael, the son of Hagar, her hand-maiden mocked Yitzchak, she ordered Avraham to drive him and his mother away, saying "the son of this hand-maiden will not inherit together with my son, with Yitzchak." (Bereshit 21:10) And when Avraham objected to this harsh treatment of his son, Hashem confirmed Sarah's orders when He said, "…Everything that Sarah has told you, do not fail to do…" (Bereshit 21:12) After Sarah dies, the Midrash testifies that Sarah was as free of sin at the age of one hundred as she was at twenty and as beautiful at twenty as she had been at seven." (Bereshit Rabbah)
