High Holiday Liturgy
While most liturgy for the Jewish High Holidays (Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur) is in Hebrew, some Jewish communities have translated prayers into their local Jewish language. This page presents some images and audio clips of that phenomenon in Judeo-Persian and multiple examples of texts and recordings from Ladino / Judeo-Spanish.
