Join PJ Library author, musician and educator, Sarah Aroeste in person for Ladino stories and songs! Aroeste, inspired by her family’s Sephardic roots in Macedonia and Greece, writes and sings in Ladino, the Judeo-Spanish dialect that originated by Spanish Jews after their expulsion from Spain in 1492. In addition to producing music, Aroeste has also spoken widely and published countless articles about ways to preserve Ladino. In 2016, Aroeste’s Ora de Despertar children’s project won a coveted Parents’ Choice Award. She is currently working on writing Sephardic-themed books for children. Her first book, Buen Shabat, Shabbat Shalom was published March 2020 with Kar-Ben publishing and PJ Library, and her forthcoming book, Mazal Bueno, will be published in Spring 2023. This event will be most enjoyed by families with kids ages 2-8.
