California State Senator Louis Correa and Momo Uzsinay
At a dinner with leaders of the Sephardic community, mostly from Turkey where their ancestors had fled to from Spain to escape the Inquisition after living there for centuries. Their traditional language is Ladino (Judaeo-Spanish, a Romance language derived from Old Spanish). Seen here, California State Senator (34th Senate District) Louis Correa delivers comments while Momo Uzsinay, head of Israel’s Turkish community, looks on.
