This year, we're celebrating the festival of lights by showing different ways to wish someone a happy Hanukkah 🕎 Yesterday, we featured Dallas community member Rachel Bortnik, who was born and raised in Turkey, on our Instagram. Bortnik grew up speaking Ladino, also known as Judeo-Spanish, the language of Sephardim. The language originated in medieval Spain, but spread through the former Ottoman Empire, as well as Italy, France, Morocco and England. What are some ways that you and your loved ones wish each other a Happy Hanukkah? Let us know in the comments below!
