Summary
Ingber traces the development of Sephardic dancing through history, beginning with the first settlements of the Sephardim in Spain, where they evolved the language called Ladino. Following their expulsion in 1492, the Sephardim resettled in Morocco, Persia, Turkey, Cyprus, and other countries. Ingber describes some regional differences that evolved, and compares them to the customs of the Ashkenazim and the Yemenite Jews. She also notes different occasions for dancing, among them holidays such as Purim, Mimouna, and L'ag B'Omer, and wedding ceremonies. The lecture is illustrated with songs and dances, and concludes with a question-and-answer period.
