“Dear Sephardim, thank you for your loyalty and for holding like a cherished treasure your language – Judeo-Spanish or djudezmo as well as Haketia – and your customs, which are none other than our own. And thank you, too, for making love prevail over rancor and for teaching your children to love this Spanish homeland.”
