Today in Tablet Magazine, listen in on several Sephardim in Washington, D.C., the subjects of this week’s Vox Tablet podcast, as they enjoy their annual Hanukkah gathering while speaking the nearly extinct Judeo-Spanish tongue of Ladino. Josh Lambert reports on forthcoming books of interest (a lot of Holocaust tomes this week). In her family column, Marjorie Ingall reveals some provocative American Hanukkah numbers. From the archives, David Bezmozgis recalls Hanukkah on the down-low in Soviet Latvia. And you can tell everyone to check The Scroll throughout the day.
