Customer Reviews

Excellent - thanks!

I thought I already did this - but, I'll do it again. I never realized this book existed - I would have gotten it years ago if I new. Anyway, I ordered this book - got it so very quickly - and have been enjoying it since. Thanks so much. Robert

Remembering home

It is amazing to find out that something I thought was so distant (the Sefardic culture) returned so clear and present when going through this Kohen's (Elli and Dahlia) masterpiece. All the words that I looked for, (which are part of my childhood, since it was the language mostly spoken at home), were easily found and explained. Expressions, proverbs and popular sayings are unseparable parts of the Sefardic culture and way of being. The authors have exactly caught the spirit.The book is not only a dictionary, but a very interesting source of research that has given me many hours of enchantement. Mashallah!
