Date: 04/08/2023

When Alexander the Great conquered areas where Jews resided, they had no choice but to assimilate into Greek culture. Contrary to other Jewish languages which developed due to Jewish migration, Judeo-Greek emerged from this conquering and continued to develop throughout the Hellenistic period all the way through to modern day. Learn about Judeo-Greek, the language of the Bible, its nomenclature, speakers and more with Dr. Julia Krivoruchko from the University of Cambridge. 

This class was part of a 2023 joint course between JewishLive's UnYeshiva and the HUC-JIR Jewish Language Project. To learn more, see the Judeo-Greek page at www.jewishlanguages.org/judeo-greek.
