On Monday afternoon, March 26th, BJPA will convene a symposium on the topic of dual language public schools (scroll down for more information). In connection with this upcoming event, our Reader's Guide this month focuses on Jewish languages.
Jews have spoken, written, prayed, and politicked in at least 17 distinctively Jewish languages, not including the languages of all the lands in which they lived. Over the years, they have created rich civilizations drawing upon the local vernacular, Hebrew, and numerous language traditions and dialects unique to the Jewish People. Below are a few samples of the many holdings in the full BJPA Reader's Guide to Jewish Languages:

How do dual language public schools advance the cultural horizons of their students and work for a healthier society at large?
