Rushing to preserve Ladino legacies
Treba brzo sačuvati nasljeđe Ladina
By Charlotte Anthony · July 15, 2012 ,JTA
Isaac Arose zna da posjeduje blago- gotovo stoljeće staru knjigu
za Židove koji su govorili ladino. a imigrirali u USA.-
Knjiga sadrži engleske, ladino i jidiš izraze koji bi mogli pomoći imigrantima da se uključe ("akulturiraju") u novu zajednicu. Arose, čija je obitelj došla iz Turske, je kantor u "Congregation Ezra Bessaroth" u Seattlu.
On, zajedno sa drugim ljudima u Seattlu i
sa Devinom Naarom ,
profesorom židovskih studija na Univerzitetu u Vašingtonu,
dijeli zanimanje za bogato nasljeđe sefardskih Židova
kojeg
nastoje otkriti, sačuvati, sakupiti i digitalizirati
...
To je prva inicijativa u nekoj zajednici koja želi sakupiti ladino
izvore na jednom mjestu.
Postoji više od 10.000 Jidiš knjiga koje su pristupačne i
digitalizirane pomoću Yuiddish Book Center u Amherstu, Mass.
ali ne postoji ekvivalentna kolekcija ladina i zapravo se ne može
ni jedna njihova knjiga dobiti "online".
Jidiš je nastavio "živjeti" preko zajednica haredi ortodoksa
koji su ga govorili i nekih sekularnih zaštitnika jezika.
Govor ladinom se smanjio u prošlom stoljeću.
Jidišom govori preko 3 milijuna ljudi širom svijeta, a UNESCO
računa da samo 150.000 ljudi još govori ladino.

Gloria Ascher, co-director of Judaic Studies at Tufts University,
offers several reasons for the language’s precipitous dropoff:
90 percent of Ladino speakers, particularly in places such as
Bulgaria and Greece, were murdered during the Holocaust;
with the rise of Zionism, Hebrew is emphasized as the central
Jewish language; and Ladino-speaking immigrant parents
encourage their children to speak the native language of their
new countries, such as English.
After New York and Los Angeles, Seattle has the third largest
Sephardi community in the United States. According to a 2000 study
by the Jewish Federation of Seattle, there are 2,700 Sephardi
households in the community’s total 22,490 Jewish households.
Unlike Yiddish documents, which have been catalogued through
the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research in New York and other
archives, Ladino documents have no such home.
Lyudmila Sholokhova, the head librarian at the YIVO Institute,
says there is no clear estimate of how many Ladino books still exist.
However, there are an estimated 600 Ladino works at Yeshiva
University, 200 more at YIVO, 200 at the Library of Congress
and about 170 at the National Sephardic Library. ..
There is a level of interest in preserving the language.
Ladino Komunita, an online Ladino forum started by
Rachel Bortnick in 1999, tries to unite the Ladino-speaking
community.
The forum now has 1,400 people from more than 42 countries...
